Question:
You have two paths for the 10.10.10.0 network – one that has a feasible distance of 3072 and the other of 6144. What do you need to do to load balance your EIGRP routes?
- Change the maximum paths to 2
- Change the configuration so they both have the same feasible distance
- Change the variance for the path that has a feasible distance of 3072 to 2
- Change the IP addresses so both paths have the same source IP address
Exam with this question: CA201
A. By changing the maximum paths to 2, you allow EIGRP to use up to two paths for load balancing when multiple equal or unequal cost paths are available.
C. The variance command allows EIGRP to load balance across unequal cost paths. By setting the variance to 2, you permit EIGRP to include routes with a feasible distance of up to twice the value of the lowest feasible distance (3072) in the load balancing process. In this case, the path with a feasible distance of 6144 will also be included, as it is within the range allowed by the variance value (6144 ≤ 3072 * 2).
B is incorrect because changing the configuration so both paths have the same feasible distance is not necessary for EIGRP to perform load balancing. EIGRP can load balance across both equal and unequal cost paths using the “variance” command.
