Correct answer & explanation
✓
Verify current DR/BDR roles with show ip ospf interface
The correct order ensures that the OSPF DR/BDR election is properly influenced. First, verify the current DR/BDR roles using show ip ospf interface. Next, set the OSPF priority on the desired router to a higher value than the current DR. Then, clear the OSPF process on all routers to force a new election. After that, verify the new DR/BDR roles have been elected as expected. Finally, confirm that adjacencies are formed with the new DR/BDR.

Routing Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Metric | Max Hops | Algorithm | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RIP v2 | Hop count | 15 | Bellman-Ford | Distance vector |
| OSPF | Cost (bandwidth) | Unlimited | Dijkstra (SPF) | Link state |
| EIGRP | Composite metric | Unlimited | DUAL | Hybrid |
| IS-IS | Cost | Unlimited | Dijkstra | Link state |
| BGP | Policy / attributes | Unlimited | Path vector | Path vector |
RIP's 15-hop limit makes it unsuitable for large networks. OSPF and EIGRP dominate modern enterprise deployments.
