    Objectives
    Part 1: Examine DR and BDR Changing Roles
    Part 2: Modify OSPF Priority and Force Elections

    Scenario
    In this activity, you will examine DR and BDR roles and watch the roles change when there is a change in the
    network. You will then modify the priority to control the roles and force a new election. Finally, you will verify
    routers are filling the desired roles.

    Part 1: Examine DR and BDR Changing Roles


    Step 1: Wait until the amber link lights turn green.
    When you first open the file in Packet Tracer, you may notice that the link lights for the switch are amber.
    These link lights will stay amber for 50 seconds while the switch makes sure that one of the routers is not
    another switch. Alternatively, you can click Fast Forward Time to bypass this process.

    Step 2: Verify the current OSPF neighbor states.


    a. Use the appropriate command on each router to examine the current DR and BDR.
    RC
    b. Which router is the DR? ______________
    c. RB
    Which router is the BDR? ______________

    Step 3: Turn on IP OSPF adjacency debugging.


    a. You can monitor the DR and BDR election process with a debug command. On RA and RB, enter the
    following command.
    RA# debug ip ospf adj
    RB# debug ip ospf adj

    Step 4: Disable the Gigabit Ethernet 0/0 interface on RC.


    a. Disable the link between RC and the switch to cause roles to change.
    b. Wait about 30 seconds for the dead timers to expire on RA and RB. According to the debug output, which
    router was elected DR and which router was elected BDR?
    The new designated router is RB, and the new designated backup router is RA.
    ____________________________________________________________________________________

    Step 5: Restore the Gigabit Ethernet 0/0 interface on RC.


    a. Re-enable the link between RC and the switch.
    b. Wait for the new DR/BDR elections to occur. Did DR and BDR roles change? Why or why not?
    When re-enabling the connection, the designated routes do not change. The DR is still RB, as well as the BDR being RA.
    ____________________________________________________________________________________
    Each time we shut down the interface of a DR, the current BDR will become the new DR.
    ____________________________________________________________________________________

    Step 6: Disable the Gigabit Ethernet 0/0 interface on RB.


    a. Disable the link between RB and the switch to cause roles to change.
    b. Wait about 30 seconds for the holddown timers to expire on RA and RC. According to the debug output
    on RA, which router was elected DR and which router was elected BDR?
    RC is the new DR, and RA is the new BDR.
    ____________________________________________________________________________________

    Step 7: Restore the Gigabit Ethernet 0/0 interface on RB.


    a. Re-enable the link between RB and the switch.
    b. Wait for the new DR/BDR elections to occur. Did DR and BDR roles change? Why or why not?
    The route didn't change. Perhaps the ID / election did not need change or didn't select RB.
    ____________________________________________________________________________________
    Each time we shut down the interface of a DR, the current BDR will become the new DR.
    ____________________________________________________________________________________

    Step 8: Turn off Debugging.


    Enter the command undebug all on RA and RB to disable debugging.

    Part 2: Modify OSPF Priority and Force Elections


    Step 1: Configure OSPF priorities on each router.
    To change the DR and BDR, configure the Gigabit Ethernet 0/0 port of each router with the following OSPF
    interface priorities:
    RA: 200
    RB: 100
    RC: 1 (This is the default priority)

    Step 2: Force an election by reloading the switch.


    Note: The command clear ip ospf process can also be used on the routers to reset the OSPF process.

    Step 3: Verify DR and BDR elections were successful.


    a. Wait long enough for OSPF to converge and for the DR/BDR election to occur. This should take a few
    minutes. You can click Fast Forward Time to speed up the process.
    b. According to output from an appropriate command, which router is now DR and which router is now
    BDR?
    The DR is now 192.168.31.11, or RA .The BDR is now 192.168.31.22, or RB.
