Figure 399 OSPF Router Election Example
You can assign a priority to an interface which determines whether this router will be elected to be a DR

participate in router elections. In
Figure 399 on page 503 you can assign a priority of 0 to routers B and C ,
thereby ensuring they do not become DR or BDR and assign a priority of 1 to router A to make sure that
it does become the DR.
