Eigrp route selection into to route table

[cinch.mak]

I have two questions to ask....

1.i would like to know if we have the network 10.10.10.0/24 advertised in both Eigrp 1 and 3, i would like to know when the 10 Mbps link between A and B is down, to reach 10.10.10.0 Router A will prefer which path...

2.can i do load balancing in this between to Eigrp domains (10 Mbps link and 10 + 5 Mbps link)... when i still have this 1 Mbps link live.

Thanks in advance...

First question: Router A will only learn about 10.10.10.0 via AS1 so the only routes are the 10Mb link and the 1Mb backup.

When the 10Mb fails, the 1Mb will be the only route available.

This is because even when the network is advertized in AS3, AS2 still has no knowledge about it.

You need to activate some kind of redistribution between the AS3 and AS2 to enable this.

Second question: By configuring redistribution and tweaking the metrics, you can enable any form of load balancing.

The way the AS numbers are assigned makes this more complex and you would do better by reducing the number of AS's.
