Command Usage
• The router ID must be unique for every router in the autonomous system.
Using the default setting based on the lowest interface address ensures that
each router ID is unique. Also, note that the router ID you cannot be set to
0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255.
• If this router already has registered neighbors, the new router ID will be used
when the router is rebooted, or manually restarted by entering the no router
ospf (page 42-19) followed by the router ospf command.
• If the priority values of the routers bidding to be the designated router or
backup designated router for an area are equal, the router with the highest ID
is elected.
