routers attempt to become the DR, the router with the higher router priority becomes the DR.
If the router priority is the same for two routers, the router with the higher router ID takes
precedence.
Only routers with nonzero router priority values are eligible to become the designated or
backup designated router.
Configure router priority for multiaccess networks only and not for point-to-point networks.
