Follow these steps to configure the OSPF network type for an Interface as NBMA: 

Enter system view 

— 

Enter interface view 

interface interface-type 
interface-number 

— 

Configure the OSPF network 
type for the interface as 
NBMA 

Required 

By default, the network type of an 
interface depends on the link 
layer protocol. 

Configure a DR priority for the 
interface 

ospf dr-priority priority 

Optional 

The default DR priority is 1 

Exit to system view 

— 

Enter OSPF view 

ospf [ process-id | router-id 
router-id | vpn-instance 
instance-name ] * 

— 

Specify a neighbor and its DR 
priority 

peer ip-address [ cost value | 
dr-priority dr-priority ] 

Required 

 

The DR priority configured with the ospf dr-priority command and the one configured with the peer 

command have the following differences: 

z 

The former is for actual DR election. 

z 

The latter is to indicate whether a neighbor has the election right or not. If you configure the DR 

priority for a neighbor as 0, the local router will consider the neighbor has no election right, and thus 

no hello packet is sent to this neighbor, reducing the number of hello packets for DR/BDR election 

on networks. However, if the local router is the DR or BDR, it sends hello packets to the neighbor 

with priority 0 for adjacency establishment. 

 

Follow these steps to configure the OSPF network type for an interface as P2MP:
