Hi Hobbs,

 

Thanks a lot for the explanation, buta sorry, I still don't get it.

 

Sorry if I ask too much, but maybe it is better with a example of simple
drawing of topology. It can help much.

Feasible successor is not better than the successor :-)

It is better than the successor's reported distance (the distance as
reported from the neighbor of the successor route).

dEAR Expert,

I'm kinda confuse with eigrp concept recently. Just come up in my mind.

It is about a successor and feasible successor.

So, In my Understanding of EIGRP concept right now :

EIGRP will choose the best metric, and become Feasible Distance , right ?

So If a ROUTE wants to be a feasible successor, It must have better metric
than feasible distance, right ?

So, it comes a question, so feasible successor is always better than a
successor but a successor the one who become the primary route, Why ?

Because feasible successor have better metric than successor right ?

Please get me out of my confusion of EIGRP concept right here hehhee.

Thanks in advance for you all
