DESCRIPTION

Priority

The priority you assign to the interface is used in router elections to decide which

 

router is going to be the Designated Router (DR) or the Backup Designated Router

 

(BDR). You can assign a number between 0 and 255. A priority of 0 means that the

 

router will not participate in router elections.
