•  Designated Router. This router is the designated router on the 
attached network. Adjacencies are established to all other routers 
attached to the network. The router must also originate a network-LSA 
for the network node. The network- LSA contains links to all routers 
(including the designated router) attached to the network.
•  Backup Designated Router. This router is the backup designated 
router on the attached network. It is promoted to designated router if 
the present designated router fails. 
The router establishes adjacencies 
to all other routers attached to the network. The backup designated 
router performs slightly different functions during the flooding 
procedure, as compared to the designated router.
•  Other Designated Router. 
The interface is connected to a broadcast 
or NBMA network on which other routers were selected to be the 
designated router and backup designated router either
. The router 
attempts to form adjacencies to both the designated router and the
