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 sahin.now i am trying to giver your all three question but one thing is necessary to know that what is default. default is that which can be configurable. now in the eigrp determination of path done by cost. that is cost==10^8/bandwidth now the path which have best cost is selected as best path that is the path have lower cost selected as best path. one point is noticeable that eigrp use only bandwidth and delay to path calculation .mtu is never used for path calculation but it is a important parameter for eigrp related command. how to configure bandwidth of eigrp Set the bandwidth on your interfaces using the bandwidth command Router (config-if)# bandwidth XX(if you want bandwidth 5600 simply write 56 not 5600) this is the command by which you can configure your bandwidth now back to your first question. 1 now you are going to change the metric value that is "k" the what happen here is the answer k=ad value/bandwidth(Wright)for eigrp ok ad value is constant(let) now you can change only bandwidth value now as we discus earlier that path determination is based on bandwidth so as you increase the bandwidth cost decrees then it will be selected as best path. and if you decrease then cost increases then it kept in to routing table.

Now your second question’s have written earlier that to reduce routing overload we need redistribution in another way we can say that in the larg network we need redistribution.

Now yours 3rd questions

Frankly speaking I don’t know but it may be 10 mbps
