Configuring a DIS priority for an interface

On a broadcast network, IS-IS must elect a router as the DIS at a routing level. You can specify a DIS priority at a level for an interface. The greater the interface's priority, the more likely it becomes the DIS. If multiple routers in the broadcast network have the same highest DIS priority, the router with the highest MAC address becomes the DIS.
