In practical terms, since you want the bandwidth componenet of the calculation
for this route to be 0, you want the bandwidth to be infinity, since 10 to the
10th divided by infinity approaches zero. And since you can't do that, if you s
et the bandwidth as high as you can on the connected interface for this network
(like 10 gig), and since EIGRP uses minimum bandwidth for calculations, that w
ill get you as close as you can otherwise get for the bandwidth component, name
ly 1.
I seem to remember in the Deploying EIGRP slides at networkers this year that m
ight address what you are referring to in a future release.

Hello,
Being testing this is the lab, for the past few hours.
As far as I can see the only way to get a router running EIGRP to use total
delay as its only metric is to modify the K constants.
and set the following :
metric weights 0 0 0 1 0 0
This sets the total delay as the only usable parameter, as K1 has now be
cancelled
So you have K3 =1 and K1 = k2 = k4 = k5 = 0
as K2,K4,K5 default to 0 anyway.
This will force the router to use only total delay for all routes,
It will ignore bandwidth parameters which will not be factored into the dual
algorithm
You also need to set the peer neighbor with the same metric weights,
Mismatched K constants = No peering.
What I am looking to do is set EIGRP to use total delay only for a
particular route in the routing table and to use the Normal K values for all
other routes in the routing table, which would include bandwidth.
Offset lists don't help because all the are doing is changing the delay
values to influence routing, they don't remove bandwidth from the DUAL
calculation.
Is what I want to do possible....???????
Any help appreciated.
Paul.
