peer (OSPF view)

Function

The peer command sets an IP address and a DR priority for an adjacent device on an NBMA network.

The undo peer command cancels the configured IP address and DR priority.

By default, IP address and a DR priority for an adjacent device on an NBMA network is not set.

Format

peer ip-address [ dr-priority priority ]

undo peer ip-address

Parameters

ip-address	Specifies the IP address for an adjacent router.	The value is in dotted decimal notation.
dr-priority priority	Sets a priority for an adjacent router for DR election.	The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 255. The default value is 1.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

On an NBMA network (such as an X.25 network), the entire network can be fully meshed if adjacent router mapping is configured. With the mapping, there is a virtual link between any two routers. In this case, the OSPF network can be considered as a broadcast network where a DR or BDR can be selected. However, adjacent routers cannot be detected dynamically by broadcasting Hello packets. To address this problem, run the peer command to specify an IP address and a DR priority for each adjacent router.

Example

# Set the IP address of the adjacent router to 1.1.1.1 on an NBMA network.
