You are a network technician, study the exhibit carefully. In this EIGRP network, the output of the
command show interface for the link between R2 and R5 indicates that the link load varies
between 10 and 35. Which K value setting will be used to make sure that this link is not used by
EIGRP when the link load reaches 35, but can be used again when the link load drops below 20?
A.
Link load is not read in real time, so there is no way to set the K values to make EIGRP choose
to use or not use a link based on the link load.
B.
There is not enough information in the question to determine the correct answer.
C.
Use the K5 setting to include load in EIGRP’s metric calculations.
D.
Use the K2 setting to include load in EIGRP’s metric calculations.
Explanation:
Using the Metrics
When you initially configure EIGRP, remember these two basic rules if you are attempting to
influence EIGRP metrics:
The bandwidth should always be set to the real bandwidth of the interface; multipoint serial links
and other mismatched media speed situations are the exceptions to this rule.
The delay should always be used to influence EIGRP routing decisions.
Because EIGRP uses the interface bandwidth to determine the rate at which to send packets, it is
important that these be set correctly. If it is necessary to influence the path EIGRP chooses,
always use delay to do so.
At lower bandwidths, the bandwidth has more influence over the total metric; at higher bandwidths,
the delay has more influence over the total metrichttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_white_paper09186a0080094cb7.shtml
