Options

  • taskConfigure R2 to always be the DR in Area 10 (without changing its router ID) and implement a single command on R2 to summarize Area 10 routes into a single route.
  • prerequisitesAccess to a virtual lab environment and device console for R2.

Explanation

To ensure R2 is always the DR in Area 10, its OSPF interface priority must be set to 255 (the maximum value) on the relevant interface, which guarantees it wins the DR election over any other router. Without changing the Router ID, the priority manipulation is the correct and only valid method. The area range command (e.g., 'area 10 range 192.168.x.x 255.255.x.x') implements route summarization at the ABR in a single command, condensing multiple Area 10 routes into one summary advertisement into the backbone.
