Hi all,
Can somebody help with the following situation?
_s0____________EIGRP__________s0_
NetA ----EIGRP------R1
R2
--s1----------
----EIGRP--------------s1--
R2 is a 1700 router with an IOS 12.0(7)
R2 has two routes to NetA with the same metric, so EIGRP makes load balancing.
R2 has fastswitching and I want to make loadbalancing per-packet. I CAN4T use
CEF because the router doesn4t support it, also I don4t want to use Proccess
Switching in order to avoid problems with the CPU.
How about.......EIGRP Feature: traffic-share min across-interfaces?
It says:
When the traffic-share min command is used with the across-interfaces keyword,
an attempt is made
to use as many different interfaces as possible to forward traffic to the same
destination. When the
maximum path limit has been reached and a new path is installed, the router
compares the installed paths.
For example, if path X references the same interface as path Y and the new
path uses a different interface,
path X is removed and the new path is installed.
To configure traffic that is distributed among multiple routes of unequal cost
for equal cost paths across
multiple interfaces, use the following command in router configuration mode:
R2(Config-Router)#traffic-share min across-interfaces
I really don4t understand if it is per-packet with that feature of EIGRP,
because R2 has FASTSWITCHING!!!
Thanks,
Sergio Jiminez A.
