Ahhhh so it's more of a

"Two Big Ladies Don't Run Much !!"

Thanks for that David, one of those little things that's nice to get
sorted once and for all.

Simon.

The old "Big Dogs Really Like Me" ain't quite right...BDRLM

Should actually be TBLDRM

ToS (not used), BW, Load, Delay, Reliability, MTU
010100

K1=bandwidth/K2=Reliability/K3=delay/k4=Load/ k5=MTU repectfully.

Subject: EIGRP K values

Hello,

I have a little doubt about EIGRP K values that I would like to clear
up.

From what I understood, the default K values 10100, representing
K1=bandwidth/K2=delay/K3=Reliability/k4=Load/ k5=MTU repectfully.

This order does not see correct to me. I thought that bandwidth and
delay
were considered by default by EIGRP............and I know that delay
does
affect the EIGRP metric, as can be seen from manipulating the delay
interface variable.

So, is it Bandwidth/Load/Delay/MTU/reliability

If we want to change the defaults to make bandwith 3 times and add
reliability we use metric weights 031100. This would indicate it is
bandwidth/reliabilty/delay?

I think my confusion stems from a mixup with how you specify the default
metrics for redistribution.

redistribute ospf 1 metric 10000 100 255 1 1500 ( bandwidth,
delay,reliability,load,MTU),

They are not equal eh?

Some clear simple explaination would be nice!
