Re: Eigrp load balancing

Hi,

  Yes in a way. Eigrp does equal cost load balancing by default
(variance 1 by default) so if you change the values of the delay and
bandwidth so that they match your other paths then yes it will load
balance.

changing the variance command from it's default allows you to do
un-equal cost load balancing.
