Router choose Numerically highest ip address as it ID.. In this case I think
it will be 193.221.200.1

If the router is configured with a loopback address then it would be given
priority... I think once the router has chosen its router ID then it stay
fixed..

Subject: OSPF Router ID and IP Addresses [7:24003]


Hi All,

Can anybody clear something up for me.

In OSPF when selecting the Router ID, what Interface will OSPF choose as the
Router ID on this particular router. For example

Interface Ethernet 0
        IP address 10.1.1.1 255.0.0.0

Interface Ethernet 1
        IP address 172.16.100.1 255.255.0.0

Interface Ethernet 2 
        IP address 193.221.200.1 255.255.255.0

rest of config not listed for this discussion and IP address structure made
up for the discussion


(in this case I won't use a loopback interface, purely to discuss Router ID
and IP address considerations)

I understand its the highest IP address that will win, in this case will it
be 10.1.1.1? or will it be 193.221.200.1

I will appreciate any comments

Cheers

Rob
