What would the bandwidth path be and the delay?

[Martin L]

Eigrp takes the lowest bandwidth value (aka minimum) across the path but the delay is cumulative value (aka sum of all).  However, IOS also converts delay value x by 10.  So,  if u enter delay 10 in units of tens of microseconds, multiply it by 10 to get  microseconds of 100. In other words, configuring delay of 100 on an interface will get us delay of 1000 microseconds.

@Martin L Just out of curiosity, what path delay value do you come up with ?

[Martin L]

1+10+10=21 Or 10+100+100=210;  leaning towards 21 but answer depends on given values are in microseconds or not. EIGRP metric counts delay as cumulative  in of tens of microseconds.  Also, since I don't see Ethernet interface, I don;t take 1000.  What is correct answer ?

Hi Networking123, 

-The delay values given to your are already divided by 10  , so the cumulative delay across the path would be just the sum of the delays i.e 10+100+100 = 210 ( assuming delay given here is in microseconds ) 

- Eigrp process takes the lowest bandwidth available across the path  therefore 256 kbps would be used .
