Equal- and Unequal-Cost Routing Configuration Window

This window appears when you choose Device > IP Routing > Equal- and Unequal-Cost Routing on the menu bar.

To configure equal or unequal-cost routing:

  1. From the Host Name list, select the router on which you will configure the routing.
  2. From the Routing Protocol list, select the routing protocol you want to use.
    To configure unequal-cost routing, you must select either IGRP or EIGRP.
  3. In the Number of Paths field, enter the number of parallel routes you want to use.
    The maximum is 6; the default is 4.
  4. (Unequal-cost routing only) In the Variance Multiplier Value field, enter a number to be multiplied by the lowest-cost path.
    Any path whose cost exceeds the product is not considered a feasible path.
  5. Click OK.
