Problem with load balancing on eigrp

[ryszard.jaskola]

Hello.

I have 4 x 2Mb PVC links between router A (7206VXR) and router B (3660). I set load balancing on eigrp. On Router B, when i run show ip route (router a) i have 4 paths. But on Router A i have only 3 paths to router B.

What is wrong ?

Do you have 3 or 4 routes om router A, when doing a "sh ip eigrp topo ", and only 3 routes when doing a sh ip route ?

Then it might be that you need to do this, on router A:

router eigrp

maximum-paths 4

Hope it solves the problem.

I would suggest that you look carefully at each of the interfaces involved and make sure that there is not one interface that specifies a bandwidth or a delay different from the others. If one interface were set up differently it would cause the symptoms that are described.

Another possibility might be a distribute list on one of the interfaces.

If you are still having problems with this I suggest that you post the interface configs and the routing protocol config from both routers.

I have this situation, but i have maximum-paths 4.

Try this command on both routers:

sh ip eigrp topo | inc Composite metric

Are the 4 metrics exatly the same, on router A?

If not, then there is your problem.

As Rburts writes, you probably have a different bandwidth or delay on one interface. Or, a little less likely, you are having trouble with a route-map.

I found that 1 paths have bandwidth value less from other. I changed it and now is OK.

Thanks for help
