EIGRP redistribute delay value

[dtushing123]

When redistributing into EIGRP I want a

delay of 100 milliseconds, how do I represent that ?

Thanks

I believe its represented in 10 microsecond units.

so for 100000 microseconds , you would use 10000.

You need to use a delay of 10,000. In case you want to know how did we get the # 10,000, 100 milliseconds equals 100,000 microseconds. EIGRP metric uses 10's of microseconds for delay and that would be 10,000. Here's a sample config and the second metric is the delay.

router eigrp 1

redistribute static metric 1500 10000 255 1 1500

Thankyou for your help. Basically always add 2 zeros ?

That would be correct. IMHO, understanding the logics behind anything will always be helpful. Let's say Cisco changes the metric for delay to microseconds with a newer IOS then your calculation will be off.

Just my 2 cents.

Good Luck!!
