All, I had implemented a network using openospf and initially left router-priorities off. Problem is I kept coming up FULL/OTHER and would not get routes. I changed the router priority values (not to match as when I matched got the same). I changed one side of a line to 10, while the other was 5. When I reloaded the side I changed, it stayed in FULL/OTHER state when it came up again. To get it to change to FULL/DR or FULL/BCKUP I needed to reload both systems ospfd daemons. Then it recalced fine. This leads me to believe that their isn't a full renegotiation if the other side is still running. That would be hard to do in an environment where you have to bring down the entire network to make a change. Is this a bug or was this the intended deployment. Also if priorities match, shouldn't they then move to see who has the highest RID to determine DR and Backup. Cause coming up as OTHER by default was a real pain. Thanks
P.S. once all reloaded it works fine. Tim
