Yes, your spoke and other spoke will get routing updates from DR/BDR but not from other spoke. This expected as on broadcast network, only DR/BDR that will send out the routing updates. HTH, dsu Shahid,

While searching for the solution I found your article. If we change the priorities on spokes routers to 0, so they cannot become DR or BDR then the OSPF state between the both spokes remains as 2-Way. However the network advertise by one spoke is shows in the routing table of other spoke. When I change the priorities back to 1 on the spokes then BDR is also selected and OSPF Stage changed to Full. Do you have idea why this is happening. Regards, Shahid (Bxperts) Dear David,
