Hi

below is a portion of my network layout. I implemented ospf and had some problems with packet loss. all routers are linked together via ubiquity and rb750's. Found out it is recommended to use NBMA from wiki for wireless. My question is do i make ether 1 priority 0 and ether2 priority 1 on every router for the best redundancy.



Thanks

You can set priorities 2 and 1. If you set 0 then router will never be elected as DR or BDR.

Thanks

Do i do it for all the interfaces on all the routers or only on MKT1 and MKT4 ?

If it is nbma then why does he need a dr and bdr? would a dr and dr-other not work for this with priority 1 on the interface closest to the internet feed, and 0 for the next router in line?

Just for feed back i made all my routers priority 1 only the ones which needed to become designated routers i made 2. eg if i needed to branch off from my main area. ospf working well in this manner redundancy works well.

Only one problem still, as soon as i maximize the throughput from one router to the other/accross the network from pc to pc(ftp) i loose all the pc's connected to the ether 3 sides(192.168.x.x) the links to the 10.0.x.x network still runs fine. For the time being i have set queues to prevent the users from maximizing the the potential throughput. Thought it was the NBMA but cant be. all routers are now linked in NBMA mode.

Any ideas

So are the priorities set up like this? How do you have them set up at the edge router? Both links are set at pri 2 or 1?

Thanks

All my routers in this example are setup as priority 1.

Its only if i had 1 AP with lets say 2 clients that i would use the AP as priority 2 and the stations as priority 1. i think in that case the higher the priority becomes the designated router and the other 2 becomes dr other.

Not sure if this is the correct way but that is how i understand it and have implemented it. All works fine only problem is like i mentioned above the moment i max out my link between two routers it tends to drop the pc's hanging off the routers.
