metric in Route-map

[antero]

Hi

what appens to a route being distributed to EIGRP with this route-map

route-map Redistribicao_BGP permit 20

match ip address 11

set metric 0 -1 0 255 1

Thanks

Hello Antero,

the seed metric should be rejected by IOS CLI as you are attempting to use a seed BW value of zero ( that would lead to a division by zero) and a negative seed delay of -1 ( that would lead to a negative metric but EIGRP metric is an unsigned 32 bit integer).

EIGRP metric =   256 *  [ 10^7/BW* + Sum of delays in tens of microseconds ]

where BW* is the minimum BW on path expressed in kbps and delay is cumulative over delays on path.

I would be surprised if the command is accepted by CLI.

Hope to help

Hi Giuseppe

The command is accepted by IOS

the purpose is to balance between two router odd networks and even networks.

but the route that are redistributed with this metric are not learned by the eigrp peer.

thanks

Hello Antero,

you can play on delay and bandwidth but with reasonable values, delay is cumulative

You should be able to use metric sets changing only delay value to achieve desired results

For example:

10000 1 255 1 1500

10000 100 255 1 1500

Hope to help
