Steve, What IP routing protcol are you using? If you're using an IP routing protocol that only routes based on bandwidth (ie OSPF) you should be able to influence the IPX EIGRP routing decisions by changing the delay on the interface.
If you're using EIGRP as your IP routing protcol as well, that doesn't do you much good. From there you have two possible solutions I can think of. One would be to change the bandwidth or delay to get your IPX traffic to do what you want, then use policy routing to force your IP traffic to do what you want. That sounds like the simplest approach. Your other option would be to tune the metrics under IP EIGRP so that they don't take delay into account, then change the delay on the interface however you see fit. I don't know if changing the metric weights in IP EIGRP would affect IPX EIGRP, so I'd shy away from that if at all possible. hth, Hal -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Barlow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 8:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: IPX EIGRP Metrics [7:41585] Is there any way to alter the metrics of IPX EIGRP other than changing the bandwidth on an interface? Specifically, I want to route IPX traffic over a 40Mbs link instead of a 100Mbs temporarily, and I don't want to alter the bandwidth on the interface as it will affect the IP routing. Thank you in advance.
