Configures the priority used in the designated router and backup designated router election algorithm for one or all OSPF interface(s) or for all the interfaces within the area.
| area-identifier | Specifies an OSPF area. |
| vlan-name | Specifies a VLAN name. |
| all | Specifies all VLANs. |
| priority | Specifies a priority range. The range is 0 through 255. |
The default setting is 1.
The range is 0 through 255, and the default setting is 1. Setting the value to 0 ensures that the router is never selected as the designated router or backup designated router.
The following command sets all the interfaces in area 1.2.3.4 to not be selected as the designated router:
configure ospf area 1.2.3.4 priority 0
