Friend,

EIGRP would automatically load balance the traffic between multiple paths (default 4) as long as all the link sare of equal metric. In case of a link failure, all the traffic would fail over to the other link.

If you want to use the links as active-passive, you can either manipulate the bandwidth as suggested by mohammed or manipulate delay. Delay would be preferred as this would not affect any other routing protocols or QoS configured on your interfaces if any.

HTH, rate if it does

Hi,

As Narayan has said, you must consider first whether your requirement is to load balance over the 2 equal metric links (which is done automatically, for 4 links by default, up to 6 routes - 16 in new IOS since 12.3), and more over EIGRP also supports unequal metric load sharing.

Your other solution is to have it in a primary/backup scenario by either manipulation bandwidth or delay (Narayan has a point here in preferring Delay), and finally you can use offset as illustrated in the document above, which i like to use.

HTH, please do rate all helpful replies,

Thats sounds new to me sir. Havent tried that before. Can i ask a favor from you if you do have any documentation regarding about it for me to read and implement it immidiately thanks
