The first time the dsppnni-election command was entered, the PGL state was OperNotPgl, which means
that the node is operating, but is not operating as a PGL. After the priority is changed, the PGL state
changes to AwaitUnanimity, which means the node is communicating with the other nodes in its peer
group to see if it has the highest priority and should be PGL. If you enter the dsppnni-election command
again after about 15 seconds, the PGL state changes as shown in the following example:
PXM1E_SJ.7.PXM.a > dsppnni-election

In the example above, the PGL state changes to show that logical node 1 is now the PGL. Notice that the
priority value is 250. An earlier example in this procedure set the priority to 200. When a node is elected
PGL, the node adds 50 to its priority value to prevent instability that might be caused by other peer group
nodes with a marginally higher priority value.
Step 4 Repeat this procedure for backup peer group leaders and be sure to set their priority value to a lower
value so that they operate as backup PGLs.
Enabling and Disabling the Complex Node Feature
The complex node feature applies to PGL parent LGNs in MPG networks. When this feature is disabled,
parent LGNs present other peer groups to the child peer group using simple node representation. With
simple node representation, each external peer group is presented as a simple node with a single cost for
routing through the peer group.
