OSPF DR BDR Cram

OSPF:
 DR is designated Router
 BDR is backup designated Router
 DROTHER when a Router is not a DR or BDR

 DR BDR Election
 DR highest Priority or highest router-id
 BDR is second highest Priority or second highest router-id.

 Router-id election :
1.Highest router-id manually configured.
1.Highest loopback IP
2.Highest interface IP

Note OSPFv3 uses the same election process and the 
loopback or interface ip must be IPv4 note. 

Priority configuration

Router(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/0
Router(config-if)#ip ospf priority 200

Priority is a number between 0 to 255
0 means that Router will never become DR/BDR


Two Multicast addresses:
224.0.0.6: All Routers send messages/LSA's to only the DR and BDR using 
                this Multicast address. All designated Routers address.
224.0.0.5: Designated Routers or DR's send information too all Routers
                 using this Multicast address. All OSPF Routers address.

The way in which OSPF routers address OSPF packets varies with the
OSPF network type.
Broadcast Networks    For broadcast networks, OSPF routers use
the following two reserved IP multicast addresses:
  • 224.0.0.5 - AllSPFRouters: Used to send OSPF messages to all OSPF routers on the same network. The AllSPFRouters address is used for
    Hello packets. The DR and BDR use this address to send Link State
    Update and Link State Acknowledgment packets.
  • 224.0.0.6 - AllDRouters: Used to send OSPF messages to all OSPF DRs
    (the DR and the BDR) on the same network. All OSPF routers except
    the DR use this address when sending Link State Update and Link
    State Acknowledgment packets to the DR.
Point-to-Point Networks    Point-to-Point networks use the AllSPFRouters address (224.0.0.5) for all OSPF messages.
NBMA Networks    NBMA networks have no multicasting capability.
Therefore, the destination IP address of any Hello or Link State packets
is the unicast IP address of a specific neighbor. The neighbor IP address
is a required part of OSPF configuration for NBMA network links.







If DR fails, BDR takes over its role of  redistributing routing information.

NOTE – on point-to-point links a DR and BDR are not elected 
since only  two routers are directly connected.
On LANs, DR and BDR have to be elected.

DR/BDR election is per multi-access segment,not per area. 
Multi access segment is not a subnet as can have multiple 
subnets.For each segment there will be a DR/BDR election.
