In OSPF broadcast networks, the router with the highest interface priority becomes the Designated Router (DR). The interface priority is a configurable value ranging from 0 to 255, with the default being 1. A higher value increases the likelihood of a router becoming the DR. If interface priorities are the same, the router with the highest Router ID is selected. Interface bandwidth and routing cost do not influence the DR/BDR election.
