peer (OSPF)
Function
The peer command sets the IP addresses and the DR priority for the adjacent wireless access controller on an NBMA network.
The undo peer command cancels the IP address of the adjacent wireless access controller on an NBMA network.
By default, the IP addresses and the DR priority for the adjacent wireless access controller on an NBMA network is not set.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| ip-address | Specifies the IP address for the adjacent devices. | The value is in dotted decimal notation. |
| dr-priority priority | Sets the priority for the adjacent devices to select a DR. | The value of the priority is an integer that ranges from 0 to 255. By default, it is 1. |
Usage Guidelines
In an NBMA network (such as an X.25 or FR network), the entire network can be fully meshed based on the mapping configuration. That means that there is a virtual link between any two devices. In this case, the network running OSPF can be considered as a broadcast network where a DR or a BDR can be selected. You need, however, manually specify the IP address and the DR priority for the adjacent devices using the peer command, because it is impossible to find the adjacent devices dynamically by broadcasting the Hello packet.
