Hello andrew,
why it required different subnet?.
i labbed this but getting below error when i did with different subnet
*Oct 8 11:06:21.391: OSPF-10 ADJ Gi0/0: Rcv pkt from 192.168.12.2, area 0.0.0.0 : src not on the same network
Hello @lagapidis
on P2P network type, there is no DR/BDR election. Is it correct ?
Hello Sathish
One of the requirements for an OSPF adjacency to form is that the devices be directly connected. This means that by definition, the IP addresses on the connecting interfaces must be on the same subnet.
What Andrew is referring to here when he says ârequires different subnetsâ is that each point-to-point link between any pair of OSPF routers requires a separate subnet. This is in contrast to the point to multipoint mode, where you can have a single subnet within which multiple OSPF adjacencies can occur. Does that make sense?
I hope this has been helpful!

Hello Sathish
Yes, on a point-to-point network type, there is no DR/BDR election. Take a look at this NetworkLessons note that details these network types for more info.
I hope this has been helpful!
