avoid equal cost load balancing in eigrp

[amit_kango]

From our datacenter router we have 2 100meg link two location each. And this two location are connected by 10g fiber. I am using eigrp. And want that without doing much changes can I pass traffic of specific location on specific link and also avoid asymmetric routing.

For this to work, you would need to deploy PBR, and yes, you have to make config changes.

Have a look at this link

Hi, Amit.

I you are using dynamic protocol, you can control it.

By default EIGRP load balance over equal cost (bandwidth + delay) links, but you can change as follow:

1) Using the maximum-paths command set it to 1 on Router EIGRP section (router configuration mode)

or

2) Using EIGRP Offset-list command, tihs command can modified the metric send and receive from and to a especified router.

This two option are very simple and quikly to configure.

Hope help you
