EIGRP & Distance command [7:71220]
On router A, I have two equal cost paths, via neighbor B and neighbor C, to a particular EXternal destination. To begin with, I see both routes in the EIGRP topology table and also in theIP routing table. I played around with the 'delay' of the connecting links to ensure that router A sees the routes as equally feasible i.e. router A's feasible distance to the destination via both B and C is the same. So far so good. In order to prefer the path to the EXternal destination via router B, I decided to INCREASE the admin distance of the route being advertized by router C. Thinking that the route advertized via B would have a lower admin distance and would be prefered. I added the following configuration statements on router A Under EIGRP distance 175 172.16.50.1 0.0.0.0 10 Globally access-list 10 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 The advertizing interface of router C has an IP of 172.16.50.1/30 The EXternal route I am trying to play with is 192.168.1.0/24. Results: No change to the admin distance of the EXternal routes :(( If the route that I am trying to modify the admin distance of is INTERNAL,this concept works fine! Is there something special that needs to be taken care to modify the admin distance of EXternal EIGRP routes?

Not sure though , but a "clear ip route" after changing the "distance" might work. Awaiting valuable inputs from the other grp members .

I'm not sure but I think Srivathsan ment to say "clear ip route * " (the asterisk or a network is required) "clear ip bgp * " would clear all peers and BGP connections also ""Srivathsan Ananthachari"" wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Not sure though , but a "clear ip route" after changing the "distance" > might work. > > Awaiting valuable inputs from the other grp members . > > Regards, > Srivathsan > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 10:49 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: EIGRP & Distance command [7:71220] > > > On router A, I have two equal cost paths, via neighbor B and neighbor C, > to a particular EXternal destination. > > To begin with, I see both routes in the EIGRP topology table and also in > theIP routing table.

RE: EIGRP & Distance command [7:71220]
obviously I should clearly have a better comprehension of the questions before I post, sorry you may want to clear eigrp tables and neighbors after you change administrative "distance" KC-R10-01#clear ip eigrp ?

RE: EIGRP & Distance command [7:71220]
Thank you Daniel for the information.. I wonder if anybody was ever able to manipulate EIGRP metrics to perform such a task.. I doubt it.. -Sal Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=71252&t=71220 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: EIGRP & Distance command [7:71220]
Just out of curiosity, how would you create a route-map to modify EXTERNAL EIGRP specific-routes... since that was the requirement.. Now that I think about it.. I wonder if something like this would work if I included it in the prior config? route-map EIGRP permit 10 set metric +/- (EIGRP Metric) match ip address 10 -Sal Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=71265&t=71220 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: EIGRP & Distance command [7:71220]
As long as playing with EIGRP is not an absolute requirement, how about a regular old route-map? > -Original Message- > From: Salvatore De Luca [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 10:33 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: EIGRP & Distance command [7:71220] > > > Thank you Daniel for the information..

RE: EIGRP & Distance command [7:71220]
Looking at Doyle "Routing TCP/IP Vol I" page 808 "set metric" looks like you could plug in the EIGRP metrics. Maybe add a little delay for that route. > -Original Message- > From: Salvatore De Luca [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 12:24 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: EIGRP & Distance command [7:71220] > > > Just out of curiosity, how would you create a route-map to > modify EXTERNAL > EIGRP specific-routes... since that was the requirement..
