256 CHAPTER 16: IP ROUTING PROTOCOL OPERATION
Only when the current DR is offline does the DR change. Shut down Switch A, and
run
display ospf peer command on Switch D to display its neighbors. Note that
the original BDR (Switch C) becomes the DR, and Switch B is the new BDR.
If all Ethernet Switches on the network are removed and added again, Switch B is
elected as the DR (with a priority of 200), and Switch A becomes the BDR (with a
priority of 100). Switching off and restarting all the switches initiates a new round of
DR and BDR selection.

In Figure 58, Area 2 and Area 0 are not directly connected. Area 1 is used as the
transit area for connecting Area 2 and Area 0.
