Danny,
When EIGRP [ and IGRP for that matter ] come out of the
box, the metric is only computed using BW and delay as a default. This is
because if you do a show ip protocol when
running these protocols, the coefficients are set to zero for the parts of
the metric equation where
reliability, load and MTU are calculated. Cisco advises to contact them
before changing any of these
Ks - the coefficients because you can very easily add instability to the
network.
Here's a sample output of the above command
Routing Protocol is "eigrp 678"
Outgoing update filter list for all interfaces is
Incoming update filter list for all interfaces is
Default networks flagged in outgoing updates
Default networks accepted from incoming updates
EIGRP metric weight K1=1, K2=0, K3=1, K4=0, K5=0
EIGRP maximum hopcount 100
EIGRP maximum metric variance 1
Redistributing: static, eigrp 678
