Network Fundamentals

Question Image

Refer to the exhibit. A network engineer is checking the settings on a new OSPF network. All OSPF configurations use the default values unless otherwise noted. Which router should the engineer expect to be elected as the DR when all devices boot up at the same time?

  • A R1
  • B R2
  • C R3
  • D R4
Explanation

On a broadcast OSPF segment, the designated router is elected by the highest OSPF interface priority, and the router ID is used only as a tiebreaker when priorities are equal. Since all routers start simultaneously, the election compares the configured priorities shown in the exhibit. R4 has the highest OSPF priority value, 204, so it is elected the DR.
