The literature I have (BCMSN notes) refers to the PIM Designated Router in a broadcast environment as having the highest numerical IP address of the neighbouring routers in the same broadcast environment (same ethernet segment). Does anyone know if you can over-ride the IP address on an interface by setting a loopback address (as in OSPF DR elections)? This would have the effect of forcing a specific router to become the PIM DR if it didn't have the highest LAN IP address. Thx.
