Even with the variance command a neighbor might not be considered a feasible successor. Remember a feasible successor is a path whose reported distance is less than the feasible distance.
This is a loop prevention method in EIGRP. Read the section, "Deciding if a Path is Loop-Free" in the document at the link below http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/103/eigrp1.html#6 I guarantee a light bulb will come on above your head after you read this. -----Original Message----- From: John Neiberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 7:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Variance for Eigrp...does it actually work?? [7:33835] I don't really have an answer, this is more of a "me too" email. I've only bothered with variance once in a practice lab and I was not able to make it work even after setting the variance to a ridiculously high number. No matter what I did, I was not able to get both EIGRP routes into the routing table. At some point I need to go back and figure out why it wasn't working but I've been avoiding it. John >>> "Cisco Nuts" 1/31/02 12:05:03 AM >>> Hello,I am testing out the variance command under eigrp and it does not seem to be working the way it is explained in the CCNP routing guide by CiscoPress. Any ideas ? Sorry, Long post but need help.I have RTA connected to RTB and RTC via FR physical intf. running eigrp 1RTB and RTC are connected to BBR via serials also running eigrp 1BBR is connected to TS via serial running eigrp 1 and igrp 1TS is connected to REMOTE running rip.RTA to RTB to BBR have bandwidth = 64 configed.RTA to RTC to BBR have the default bw = 1.544On RTA, the route to Rip netw. 12. and 13. on Remote show up via the RTC to BBR to TS to Remote route....which is correct.D EX 12.0.0.0/8 [170/3245056] via 192.168.10.243, 00:12:37, Serial0 D EX 13.0.0.0/8 [170/3245056] via 192.168.10.243, 00:13:42, Serial0 The metric via RTB to BBR to TS to Remote is 41538560 as inD EX 12.0.0.0/8 [170/41538560] via 192.168.10.242, 00:00:17, Serial0 D EX 13.0.0.0/8 [170/41538560] via 192.168.10.242, 00:00:17, Serial0 After doing the math,( multiplied 3245056 x 13 to get 42185728 which is greater than 41538560), I configed a variance of 13 on RTA and expected to see 2 routes to networks 12. and 13. but only 1 route shows up, that thru RTC.Is there a reason why?Thank you. : ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: Click Here Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=33861&t=33835 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
