QuestionQ155

IP Services

You have two paths to the 10.10.10.0 network—one with a feasible distance of 3072 and the other with a feasible distance of 6144.

What must you do to load-balance your EIGRP routes?

  • A Change the maximum paths to 2
  • B Change the configuration so they both have the same feasible distance
  • C Change the variance for the path that has a feasible distance of 3072 to 2
  • D Change the IP addresses so both paths have the same source IP address
Explanation

EIGRP supports unequal-cost load balancing by using the variance command. The additional path can be used when its metric is less than or equal to the variance multiplier times the best feasible distance, provided it satisfies the feasibility condition. With a best feasible distance of 3072 and another path of 6144, a variance of 2 includes the second path because 6144 equals 3072 × 2. Therefore the configuration change needed is to set variance to 2.
