CL: the only thing to be careful about is understanding the EIGRP defaults for calculation ( the "k" values ) under normal circumstances, the only metrics that matter are the bandwidth and the delay values. you have to manually change the "k" values in order for load, reliability, and MTU values to become part of the equation. > > - Brian Clark > > -----Original Message----- > From: Rajesh Kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 11:40 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Redistribution metrics.
