Hi, all.
I'm trying to understand the PURPOSE and LOGIC behind OSPF BDR
Promotion to DR. Let's say R1 is DR and R2 is BDR connected via Ethernet
Link. If I disconnect the cable, this would mean the BDR will promote itself
To DR status, even though the DR never went "down". So when I reconnect the
Link the DR will just "abdicate" the role? I just don't see the logic here.
So now the DR will become the BDR, and if we repeat the process of
disconnecting
The link, the original scenario is restored. I've read OSPF on CCO and Doyle
but
Have not come across the explanation of why OSPF was designed to behave this
Way. Any enlightenment on this is welcome.
Elmer
