Set Priority
This example shows how to set priority for an interface. Set a high priority for a router to make it the Designated Router (DR). Router R3 is configured with a priority of 10; this is higher than the default priority (default priority is 1) set for R1 and R2. This makes R3 the DR.

| #configure terminal | Enter configure mode. | 
| (config)#router ipv6 ospf | Create an OSPFv3 routing instance. | 
| (config-router)#router-id 10.10.10.13 | Specify a Router ID (10.10.10.13) for the OSPFv3 routing process. | 
| (config-router)#exit | Exit OSPF router mode. | 
| (config)#interface eth2 | Enter interface mode. | 
| (config-if)#ipv6 router ospf area 0 | Enable OSPFv3 routing on an interface, and assign the Area ID (0). | 
| (config-if)#ipv6 ospf priority 10 | Specify the router priority to a higher priority (10) to make R3 the Designated Router (DR). | 
| (config-if)#commit | Commit the candidate configuration to the running configuration. |
