Hi Colin, take the following example:
RouterA --> RouterB --> RouterC --> Ethernet The reported distance is the distance from RouterB to Ethernet. The feasible distance is the distance from RouterA to Ethernet. If there is a second link to Ethernet from RouterA: RouterA --> RouterF --> RouterG --> Ethernet the route through RouterB and RouterC will be chosen when the feasible distance from RouterA to Ethernet through RouterB and RouterC is less than the distance from RouterA to Ethernet through RouterF and RouterG. If the first route is chosen, the second route can become a feasible successor if the reported distance (that is the distance from RouterF to Ethernet) is less than the feasible distance (RouterA to Ethernet via RouterB and RouterC). I know you mentioned the Cisco website, but I find the following link quite straight forward; I don't know if you have checked this out yet: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/103/eigrp1.html#6 Regards, Georg Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=33563&t=33557 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
