Configuring OSPF on the FortiGate units
Three of the routers are designated routers (DR) and one is a backup DR (BDR). This is achieved through the lowest router ID numbers, or OSPF priority settings.
Also each area needs to be configured as each respective type of area – stub, backbone, or regular. This affects how routes are advertised into the area.
