Neighbors
Routers that are connected to the same area or segment become neighbors in that area. Neighbors are elected via the Hello
protocol. IP multicast is used to send out Hello packets to other routers on the segment. Routers become neighbors when
they see themselves listed in a Hello packet sent by another router on the same segment. In this way, two-way

Designated Router Election
The election of the DR and BDR is accomplished using the Hello protocol. The router with the highest OSPF priority on a
given multi-access segment will become the DR for that segment. In case of a tie, the router with the highest Router ID
wins. The default OSPF priority is 1. A priority of zero indicates a router that cannot be elected as the DR.
Building Adjacency
Two routers undergo a multi-step process in building the adjacency relationship. The following is a simplified description
of the steps required:
Down No information has been received from any router on the segment.
Attempt On non-broadcast multi-access networks (such as Frame Relay or X.25), this state indicates
that no recent information has been received from the neighbor. An effort should be m de to contact the
neighbor by sending Hello packets at the reduced rate set by the Poll Interval.
Init The interface a neighbor but bi-directional
communication has not yet been established.
Two-way Bi-directional communication with a neighbor has been established. The router has seen its
address in the Hello packets coming from a neighbor. At the end of this stage the DR and BDR election
would have been done. At the end of the Two-way stage, routers will decide whether to proceed in
building an adjacency or not. The decision is based on whether one of the routers is a DR or a BDR or
the link is a point-to-point or virtual link.
Exstart (Exchange Start) Routers establish the initial sequence number that is going to be used in the
information exchange packets. The sequence number insures that routers always get the most recent
information. One router will become the primary and the other will become secondary. The primary
router will poll the secondary for information.
Exchange Routers will describe their entire link-state database by sending database description packets.
