The bolded and italicized areas shows me that yours doesn't take either. You specify the network in your acl, but the distance doesn't affect the route. Maybe I'm not going crazy?

Thanks,

John

Victor,

The command that you're showing may be version-centric. I don't have that option.

I can set all eigrp internal/external distances by:

distance eigrp

or I can specify the source:

distance 89 acl

The acl option allows for me to specify networks, but it seems to only affect internal routes and not external.

Thanks,

John

Hello, Earth to John, Come in John...Houston...LOL

"I can set all eigrp internal/external distances by:

distance eigrp "

That is exactly the command I recommend using because if you dont...

"The acl option allows for me to specify networks, but it seems to only affect internal routes and not external."

CORRECTION START

FROM FIRST MESSAGE:

the correct command is "distance eigrp "

Remove the "89"

See my example.

CORRECTION END

Victor

LOL! Listen.... :)

Okay, so say that I want two paths, both external routes from eigrp, that I want to have different ADs? Is that not possible?

First of all, before we go any further, do you see the difference in the 2 versions of the command and the different results?

See my example closely.

When I use the ACL form of the command, it changes only internal routes.

When I use the option that allows me to change internal and external with no acl, it allows me to change the external, too.

Victor

I see the differences. I just wanted to know why I was able to set internal only and not external. It's always good to know :)

Thanks Victor!

John

You're welcome!

Thanks for the rating.

And by the way, you know when I get sarcastic Im just teasing you. You gotta have SOME fun on this thing! :-)

If not, you start acting like...Jon...LOLOLOL

Victor

It's quite alright :) I don't offend easily! And I agree, there is a lot of "seriousness" to this board.

John

I was hoping to smoke Jon out with that last comment...he must have gone to bed...lol

John,

I'm afraid that you can't change AD of EIGRP external routes with a "distance" command by using ACL.

Yes you can change it by using "distance eigrp ".

Edit: The latter command will affect the whole D*EX.

HTH,

Toshi

Toshi, I just said that 1,451 times....maybe 1,452, actually. :-)
