area interface IFNAME priority
Use this command to set the router priority to determine the designated router (DR) for the network.
• A router with the higher router priority becomes the DR. If the priority is the same for two routers, the router with the higher router ID takes precedence.
• Only routers with a nonzero priority value are eligible to become the designated or backup designated router. Configure router priority for broadcast or NBMA networks only and not for point-to-point networks.
Use the no parameter with this command to return to the default value.
