True, priority influences the DR election process, prior to everyone
going to the FULL state with the DR.
Bob, another thing to note is once a DR is elected, there is no
preemption. So if an interface comes up in multi-access mode and doesn't
hear from any other challengers to the DR election, it elects itself the
DR. When others come on the line, the first thing they do is check to
see if a DR (and a BDR) already exists.
If still want to prove the viability of setting the priority on the
neighbor statement, why don't you try setting it, saving it and then
rebooting all of the routers involved? 'clear ip ospf process' might
save you a reboot--I'm not sure...

When the routers exchange lsa's don't they tell each other what their
priority is. I would think that the spoke router is telling the hub
router
what its priority is. I don't know if the hub router can tell the spoke
router what its priority should be.

Subject: OSPF neighbor priority
I searched the archives and lab'd this extensively but in a partial-mesh
frame-relay non-broadcast OPSF scenario i cannot get the
neighbor x.x.x.x priority 10
command to do what it should do. The config keeps changing back to the
priority that the neighbor router is actually set to. i.e
neighbor x.x.x.x priority 1
The issue is to get the hub router to be the DR. The way around this is
to
actaully change the priorities on the serial interfaces but that might
not
be an allowed option in a lab.
Previous post have suggested bugs in certain IOS versions, I'm running
c2500-js-l.112-24.bin. Is there anything I am missing here. Basically
the
router with highest RID beomes DR even if I set the neighbor priority.
People have said nail the basics and this is basic. Help?
Thanks
