Nope, it's the lowest RID, not highest!

Wait, I thought it was the lowest RID if priorities are the same?

The router with the highest priority is definitely the DR.

I think option B is definitely correct, but I can't recall if it's the lowest or highest RID that comes into play next.

I feel like I mixed up the priority and RID rules. Was it the highest RID or the lowest RID that gets chosen when priorities match?

I remember practicing a similar question where the lowest RID was used if priorities were the same. That might be option C.

I think the router with the highest priority becomes the DR, but I'm not completely sure about the priority rules.

Using scripts to monitor and remediate duplicates could be a good option, but I wonder if that would be enough on its own to ensure long-term data quality.

I remember specifically discussing how security policies are critical, but does that mean it's the best choice here? I wonder if "all of the above" might be a safer bet.

The jump in points at the end of iteration 4 is interesting. I'm leaning towards option C - the team may have realized some stories were underestimated and needed to be re-estimated.

Hmm, let me think... I'll go with B and C. The highest priority router becomes the DR, and if it's a tie, the lowest RID wins. Easy peasy!

Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying that. So, it's all about priority and RID in the end.

Actually, if priorities are the same, the DR is chosen based on the lowest RID. So, you were right about that.

I think you got it wrong. The router with the highest priority becomes the DR, not the lowest.

I'm pretty sure it's B and D. The router with the highest priority is the DR, and if priorities are the same, the one with the highest RID is selected.

Got it. So it's either the highest priority or the highest RID that determines the DR.
