4-14 
Operation  Command  Description 
Configure the network type of 
the OSPF interface
 
ospf network-type 
{  broadcast  | nbma | 
p2mp | p2p }
 
Optional
 
By default, the network 
type of an interface 
depends on the physical 
interface.
 
 
  Note: 
z  After an interface has been configured with a new network type, the original network 
type of the interface is removed automatically. 
z  Note that, neighboring relationship can be established between two interfaces 
configured as broadcast, NBMA, or P2MP only if the interfaces are on the same 
network segment. 
 
4.5.3  Setting an NBMA Neighbor 
Some special configurations need to be done on an NBMA network. Since an NBMA 
interface cannot discover the adjacent router by broadcasting Hello packets, you must 
manually specify the IP address of the adjacent router for the interface and whether the 
adjacent router has the right to vote.

Required
 
By default, the priority 
for the neighbor of an 
NBMA interface is 1.
 
 
4.5.4  Setting the DR Priority on an OSPF Interface 
You can control the DR/BDR election on a broadcast or NBMA network by configuring 
the DR priorities of interfaces.
