Hi,

I have a very simple three router scenario, using 12.0(10) IOS on 1200
platform, and configured to run EIGRP.

                     
                       RB
                   S0/   \ s1
   (nw 1) bw=512    /      \   bw=1024  (nw  2)
                s1 /        \ s1
                  RC ------- RA
                     bw=512
                     nw 3

All the three links are serial links connected by using a back-to-back X.21
cables.


Looking at the above diagram you would expect the following

RB

all traffic will be send over interface S1 to reach nw 3, and no load
balancing should take place.

RC

Two routes, to reach network nw 2, load balancing should take place, and two
routes should be seen in the routing tabel.

RA

All traffic should leave via interface S1 to reach the nw 1 and no load
balancing should take place.


Problem:

All the routers are showing that two paths exist to reach the destination
networks.

Please check the outputs:

-------------------------------------
P.S. By changing the delay parameter on rb for inteface s0 (20000 -> 20001)
will for the traffic to go via interface s1.

Has anyone seen this behaviour before, is it normal for Eigrp to behave in
such a way ?

Note: All the Ethernet networks are 172.16.15.0, 172.16.14.0 and 172.16.90.0
all using a 24 bit mask, the distribute list was used to stop these updates
from entering the eigrp routing table.

The main focus here is to find out why the bandwidth command when used in
EIGRP is not effective. I hope I have not confussed anyone.

Thanks in Advance.
