• 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
backup designated router.
