Configuring the broadcast network type for an interface

3. Configure the OSPF network
type for the interface as
broadcast.
ospf network-type broadcast
By default, the network type of an
interface depends on the link layer
protocol.
4. Configure a router priority for
the interface.
ospf dr-priority priority
Optional.
The default router priority is 1.
Configuring the NBMA network type for an interface
After you configure the network type as NBMA, you must specify neighbors and their router priorities
because NBMA interfaces cannot find neighbors by broadcasting hello packets.
A router priority of 0 means the neighbor does not have the right for DR election. A router priority greater
than 0 means the neighbor has the right for DR election.
The router priority configured with the ospf dr-priority command is for actual DR election. The priority
configured with the peer command indicates whether a neighbor has the election right or not. If you
configure the router priority for a neighbor as 0, the local router will assume the neighbor has no election
right, and thus send no hello packets to this neighbor. However, if the local router is the DR or BDR, it still
sends hello packets to the neighbor with priority 0 for neighborship establishment.
