Hi Guys i hv one confusion. Need u peoples help.

In EIGRP, maximum hop count is up to 255. By default only
100. Now question is -

a) Suppose i hv a network consist of 115 routers & EIGRP
routing protocol is configured. By default hop count is 100,
so is there any manual configuration necessary for hop count
ya router will automatically detect the hop count & will
update the hop count accordingly..?????

b) In EIGRP, Bandwidth & Delay is used to calculate metric.
For this Metric weight is set to K1(Bandwidth)=1,
K2(Delay)=0, K3(Reliability)=1, K4(Load)=0, K5(MTU)=0

Now i want, Bandwidth & Load is used to calculate metric.
For that wat i hv to configure & wat wub the metric weights.


Cud anyone explain it plzzzz..!!!!

Hi Jitendera, If i m not wrong, then in EIGRP, Metric weight
is set to K1(Bandwidth)=1, K2(Delay)=0, K3(Reliability)=1,
K4(Load)=0, K5(MTU)=0. This is default setting for EIGRP.

I knew about it from ICND 2 cisco press book.

Three more questions -

a) If we change the K value (I mean metric weight)on a
router what will happen???

b) When redistribution is necessary in EIGRP. Is there any
condition for that???

c) What is reference bandwidth for metric calculation in
EIGRP. As we know, in OSPF, on a CISCO router reference
bandwidth is 10Mbps.
