Thats a loaded question... The clock rate will not affect the routing decisions made by EIGRP.. That is what the bandwidth setting is for. It should be the same on both ends. However if you only have 2 routers connected via a crossover cable you don't need to worry about which route it tak

EIGRP metric looks at bandwidth, delay, mtu, load, reliability. For an adjaceny to form they metrics must be the same on both sides, or the 2 routers will never route or pass updates. Best to make the same changes on both sides. As for the clock rate, I am not to sure here - a flying guess says ye

clock-rate makes no difference to the metric . I cannot see why the bandwidth parameter cannot be different on both neighbouring routers . For one router in question only the outbound interfaces to the destination are considered in the calculation of the metric . flem --- Andrew Larkins <[EMAI

The bandwidth and delay values could be different on each end of a circuit. For example, in frame relay each PVC has it's own CIR/etc so you would want the values to reflect that of the PVC. It's not needed if theres only one route between the 2 routers, but was pointing out in frame relay, etc i

I'm not sure I understand your entire question. But, I hope this helps... you have to many formulas. What the recommendation states is that if you are running other routing protocols like ospf who takes its decisions based on bandwidth statements then you shouldn't change them, because it wil

What your describing is fairly common and you can "fix" this by adjusting the delay metric of router interfaces in your path. In your example, you could adjust the delay between the routers so that the path metrics are equal. This is, as you note, the preferred approach with IGRP/EIGRP to manipul

Thanks Tshon and Kent, My point is that, using EIGRP routing protocol, for the same two routes, (in the given case R1->R2->R4, and R1->R3->R4), they are seen as equal paths for traffic from R1 to R4, but are not seen as equal for the traffic from R1 to R5. This is a litle bit unusual to me. Usin
