So I'm just trying to make sure that I'm not losing it. According to Cisco, the metric calculation for IGRP is (EIGRP being the same except times 256):
(K1*Bw) + (K2*Bw)/(256-Load) + (K3*Delay)*(K5/(Reliability + K4)) But then other stuff I've read says that (E)IGRP metric is calculated using Bandwidth, Load, Reliability, Delay, and MTU. For instance to set a default metric the command is: default-metric Cisco has a page on redistribution that says: "IGRP and EIGRP need five metrics when redistributing other protocols: bandwidth, delay, reliability, load and maximum transmission unit (MTU) respectively." So according to the formula above, where does MTU come into play?!?!?!? Am I missing something?!?!? If MTU isn't part of the metric calculation, why bother putting it in when setting default metrics or redistributing other protocols into (E)IGRP? I know this is a pretty "basic" question, but I was just reviewing some stuff and came across this. Mike W.
