Tweaking the K values is done to influence the route selection. &nbsp;If you have two paths, the easiest way to affect the route selection is to adjust K1 and/or K2 to make a path more or less desirable. <br />
<br />
More than likely, the previous admin wanted one route to be preferred over another.

So if I want to make it less desirable, then I have to make k1 lower and k2 higher. Correct?

The reason I am worry about the metric because I have another route going into my main location (see below) and I want the 1gig to be the primary path. Router0 is the new MPLS link that I am going to put in place. So I will need to make k1 as 10000 and k3 a high value. Correct?<br />

I am trying to understand what the best practice is to set the metric when redistributed BGP to EIGRP. In my case, at my main location, I have it set as the code below. I know that EIGRP only uses k1 and k2 in its calculation. I did not configure this so I am not sure what k1 is 44.2 Mbps when my MPLS circuit is 300Mbps. It looks like my delay is not the default as well.<br />

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
