K1 - Bandwidth (set to 1 by default)
K2 - Load (set to 0 by default)
K3 - Delay (set to 1 by default)
K4 - Reliability (set to 0 by default)
K5 - Modifier (set to 0 by default)

The nmemonic you have below is just to remember what the things are for a
multple choice CCNA question, not the order involved!

So no, when you do a redistribute, or set a default-metric, the values there
are not indicative of the K-values for metric algorithm modification!

It's Big Dogs really like me

It always has been... I read that acronym in like 1999...

Oh, and big dogs do like me.

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!
