I think offset-list would be fine. Remember when you alter interface parameters, especially bandwidth you may impact other protocols or configurations (e.g. qos).

Now I am starting to think of a reason my solution may come back and bite me later. Here is what I did: I used an offset list in that was applied to the Ethernet port so that it is slightly higher in it's metric I configured a variance of 2 to it would balance between the two (and it does) Configured traffic share so traffic will only use only the serial connection, yet still show both in the routing table (as per the question) That appears to work with just the single route. Now the Proctor guide did it by changing the bandwidth and delay of the Ethernet connection instead of the off set list My question is this: is there a configuration out there that would make min fail since I have a set offset value? Currently I believe that the metric between the two routers are always the same and it really does not matter what is behind each. If I send a route through EIGRP and it uses that link then it will add the same values to the metric and it will still work. Guess I am just second guessing my self but would like someone else's thought on the topic Rob _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com -- Bryan Bartik CCIE #23707 (R&S), CCNP Sr. Support Engineer - IPexpert, Inc.
