Priscilla, Now that you have R1 as the DR, it's his responsibility to announce that network out to everyone else. Is R1 sending out LSAs (Network LSA, type 2) to wherever it is that you are trying to see that network? (Is it R3's routing table that you can't see the Ethernet segment of R1 and R2?) Does the network show up in the OSPF database but not the routing table? Or just the routing table?
Chris -----Original Message----- From: Priscilla Oppenheimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2002 4:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OSPF DR problem [7:34379] Hi Group Study, Playing with IP OSPF priority to influence which router became the Designated Router (DR) caused routing problems for me in a recent bout with a lab exercise. Can anyone help me understand if I did something wrong? I have 2 routers on an Ethernet LAN. Both of them also have WAN connections to remote sites. R1 has a Frame Relay link to the corporate "cloud" via its S0 port. S0 is configured as "ip ospf network point-to-point." R2 has an ISDN link to yet another router, R3. This link is configured as an OSPF point-to-point demand circuit. R1 and R2 are connected via an Ethernet switch. My goal was to make sure R1 became the DR on Ethernet. Both routers have loopbacks, but R2's is higher, so to make sure R2 did not become the DR, I configured it with: ip ospf priority 0 R1 then did indeed become the DR on the Ethernet LAN because it was using the default priority 1. Now, finally to the question...... On the other side of the ISDN and across the Frame Relay cloud, I couldn't see the Ethernet LAN in the routing table. Routers formed adjacencies correctly and could reach most networks, but not that darn Ethernet LAN. R1 and R2 on the Ethernet LAN formed an adjacency and could see the rest of the internetwork. Could I have broken something by playing with the priority?? Thanks for your help.
