Lab Simulation 27 Guidelines This is a lab item in which tasks will be performed on virtual devices. - Refer to the Tasks tab to view the tasks for this lab item. - Refer to the Topology tab to access

The correct solution addresses both OSPF DR/BDR election requirements: setting interface priority to 0 on R3 and R20's Area 20 interfaces prevents them from participating in DR/BDR elections (priority 0 means a router can never become DR or BDR), while setting priority to 255 on

Submitted by rania.sa· Mar 6, 2026Infrastructure - Configure and verify single-area and multiarea OSPFv2 (including neighbor adjacencies, DR/BDR elections, and interface priority manipulation) - maps to Cisco CCNA Exam Topic 3.4 or CCNP ENCOR OSPF configuration objectives

Explanation

The correct solution addresses both OSPF DR/BDR election requirements: setting interface priority to 0 on R3 and R20's Area 20 interfaces prevents them from participating in DR/BDR elections (priority 0 means a router can never become DR or BDR), while setting priority to 255 on R10's Area 10 interface guarantees it always wins the DR election since the highest priority value wins. The 'copy run start' commands ensure configurations persist across reboots as required by the lab guidelines. The area range command on R10 also summarizes the 10.1.0.0/16 network for efficient routing.
