@Ronnie-Wong OK so in this topology. I am focusing on getting to the 192.168.3.0/24 network on R3 from R1 (routes are summarized)

All the links are equal cost so all routes make it to the table.
-
R1# sho ip route eigrp
192.168.3.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
192.168.3.0 [90/131072] via 1.1.3.2, 00:04:47, GigabitEthernet0/3
[90/131072] via 1.1.2.2, 00:04:47, GigabitEthernet0/2
[90/131072] via 1.1.1.2, 00:04:47, GigabitEthernet0/1
OK so I will issue a bandwidth 100 command on R2 and I will expect to see that route taken out because EIGRP has 2 better routes
R2(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 0/2
R2(config-if)#bandwidth 100
now my routeing table looks like this
-
R1#show ip route eigrp
192.168.3.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
192.168.3.0 [90/131072] via 1.1.3.2, 00:00:16, GigabitEthernet0/3
[90/131072] via 1.1.2.2, 00:00:16, GigabitEthernet0/2
I want to bring that gig 0/1 route back into the routing table using the Variance command. How do I know what Variance number to pick?
I tried everything from 10 to 128 and nothing would bring the route via 1.1.1.2 back.
I know the answer is simple but I just can't get my head around this Variance concept.
