NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual Default Normal. Usage Guidelines A normal area is an area that is not any of the following: • Stub area • NSSA Virtual links can be configured through normal areas. External routes can be distributed into normal areas. Example The following command configures an OSPFv3 area as a normal area: configure ospfv3 area 10.1.0.0 normal configure ospfv3 area priority configure ospfv3 {domain } area priority Description Configures the priority used in the designated router and backup designated router election algorithm for all the interfaces within the area. Syntax Description domainName area-identifier priority Specifies an OSPFv3 domain. OSPF-Default is the only one currently supported. Specifies an OSPFv3 area, a four-byte, dotted decimal number. Specifies a priority range. The range is 0 through 255. Default The default setting is 1. Usage Guidelines When two routers are attached to a network, both attempt to become the designated router. The one with the higher priority takes precedence. If there is a tie, the router with the higher router ID takes precedence. Setting the value to 0 ensures that the router is never selected as the designated router or backup designated router. Chapter 24. OSPFv3 Commands | 1047
