Hi, group.
I have a few questions to iron out regarding OSPF startup.
1. EXSTART - master/slave is created between each router and its adjacent
DR/BDR.
Q: But this "election" on who the master will be is mute because the
router with the higher RID (thus) the DR/BDR acts as the master, right? If
not, shouldn't the DR act as the master anyway since he ( or she) is the
central distribution point for the area's topology?
2. LOADING - slave router sends an LS request if the master's DBD has a more
up-to-date link-state entry.
Q: "up-to-date" meaning timestamps?? But...what if there's no NTP server
to synchronize them?
Thanks.
Elmer
