I was doing a practive lab and was stuck with this. I have topology above.
It is all running eigrp. I want to load balance traffic 5:1 via R3:R2. I
have calculate the delay a
nd applied the appropiate delay.The Eigrp topology shows right metric as
shown below. but the routing table does not show the route. See the sh ip
eigrp topo on R1. The ratios of metric
is 5 (15132160/3026432). The routing table only shows one route. I am not
sure what the issue might be.
