Eigrp 2 successors with same FD

[opnineopnine]

Hi all

I have the issue in a network when I do a "show ip eigrp top" I get this output

P 172.16.203.136/29, 2 successors, FD is 257792
        via 172.16.100.5 (257792/30976), GigabitEthernet0/0.251
        via 172.16.100.133 (257792/30976), GigabitEthernet0/0.903

Both paths are the same, how will the traffic be handled?

Thanks.

You should see both routes when you do a "sh ip route 172.16.203.136".

And by default the router will use both paths on a per destination basis.

when I do the sh ip route in one of the routes I have a (*)

thanks

I'm not sure what you are asking.

There is no issue, you simply have multiple equal cost paths.

If I remember correctly the * simply indicates which route the L3 device used last ie. it should switch between the routes.

Why do you think this is an issue ?

Hello

sh ip route 172.16.203.136 | in  traffic

You should see a traffic share of 1, which would then i guess mean traffic will be LB on a per destination address.

However this can be manipulated into unequal L/B  to any ratio you wish by some eigrp calcualtions

If you would like to see an example I would happy to provide one:
