In which OSPF state is the DR/BDR election conducted?

  • ExStart
  • Init
  • Two-Way
  • Exchange

Explanation: The DR and BDR election is conducted during the Two-Way state. In this state, communication between neighboring routers is confirmed as bidirectional. On multiaccess networks, such as Ethernet LANs, routers use this bidirectional communication to elect a Designated Router (DR) and a Backup Designated Router (BDR) before transitioning to the next state (ExStart) to begin synchronizing their databases.
