I may be confused on the K numbers because I borrowed from other notes.

Point still stands, use an offset-list or tweak delay but not bandwidth.

I would personally also recommend you not mess with anything besides
K1,K2.

My recommendation is that you use one of two options based on your
scenario (in order of preference):

1. An eigrp offset-list

summary_chapter09186a00800ef92d.html#xtocid16
2. Or set a higher delay on your interfaces to the VSAT network. I
don't like to set bandwidth to anything except the accurate bandwidth in
order to keep network management products and interface counters
straight.

Leo,

You just touched them in your formula. The minimum bandwidth and the
total delay are K1 and K2. How come you advice not to touch them while
you are using them your self?

Metric (eigrp) = ( 10000000/minimum bandwidth + total delay ) x 256

Don't touch k1,k2 ,,, k5, you don't need to.

Router(config-router)#metric weights tos k1 k2 k3 k4 k5

K1 is bandwidth
K2 is load
K3 is reliability
K4 forgot what is it
K5 is mtu

There is a formula to calculate the metric but I do not remember it. You
have to go the Doc CD or Jeff Doyle to find out how to calculate the
metric from this parameters.

Hi All,

I have 2 eigrp routes in the router , one through leased line & second
thrrough VSAT.

It is HUB & SPOKE technology , could you tell me how do i set the
metric at the SPOKE or HUB so that first preffered path is leased line &
second one is VSAT. How do i change the metric ?
