I setup OSPF on between two routers, and Router A was elected as the DR
becuase it had the highest IP address. Router B was elected BDR. I ran debug
ip ospf adj on Router B and unplugged the Ethernet connection between the
two. After 40 seconds Router B showed that it promoted itself to DR. Then I
plugged the connection back in, and Router A was now selected as the BDR.
This didn't make sense to me. I know that each time a router is added, that
a new DRand BDR election does NOT take place, however shouldn't Router A
still considered itself as the DR so when the connection was re-established
it would either 1. remain as the DR or more likely 2. rerun the election
since both routers think that they are the DR. I might could understand if
there were multiple routers on the Ethernet connection. Any elightenment
would be greatly appreciated. Meanwhile I'll go look at RFC 2328.
