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..

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 **** STATEMENT OF CONFIDENTIALITY **** The information contained in this communication is Confidential and is intended only for the exclusive use of the Recipient named above, and may contain confidential or privileged Information.
