Suggested Answer: Explanation 🗳️
If a router with a higher priority value gets added to the network, it does not preempt the DR and BDR. The only time a DR and BDR changes is if one of them is out of service. If the DR is out of service, the BDR becomes the DR, and a new BDR is selected. If the BDR is out of service, a new BDR is elected. In a multi- access network, the router that is powered on first will generally become the DR, since the DR/BDR process is not pre-emptive.
