State (continued)

 This router is the designated router on the 

attached network. Adjacencies are established to all other routers 
attached to the network. The router must also originate a 
network-LSA for the network node. The network- LSA contains 
links to all routers (including the designated router) attached to the 
network.

. This router is the backup designated 

router on the attached network. It is promoted to designated router 
if the present designated router fails. The router establishes 
adjacencies to all other routers attached to the network. The 
backup designated router performs slightly different functions 
during the flooding procedure, as compared to the designated 
router.

. The interface is connected to a 

broadcast or NBMA network on which other routers were selected 
to be the designated router and backup designated router either. 
The router attempts to form adjacencies to both the designated 
router and the backup designated router.
