Setting EIGRP to favor a path?

I have a c9500 switch (A) running EIGRP.  It connects via 1000mb/s to two other local switches (B, C). EIGRP runs across all.  Those other two switches, in turn, connect through routers and out to the WAN. One WAN link (via switch B) runs at 100mb/s. The other (via switch C) is 10mb/s.  

 

Can i configure switch A to favour the routes it receives from B? Therefore only route via C if B is not advertising?

Hello,

 

the easiest would be to configure the link from Switch A to Switch C with a higher delay. So on Switch A, configure the link to Switch C with a 'delay 1000' value. This will make Switch A prefer the link through Switch B.

 

Another option would be to configure HSRP between both Switch B and Switch C, with interface tracking.
