EIGRP Equal / Unequal Cost Balancing

To make equal cost balancing we need minimum 2 routes by looking at the topology metric : show ip eigrp topology ( network address and mask ) or show interface ( interface )
Then you can match the metric parameters with the appropriate commands see EIGRP Path Selection  and then verify that you have more then one path with the command : show ip route

To make unequal cost balancing we need to use the command variance .The variance command allow the router to install multiple routes .
By configuring a higher variance for the FD it is possible to have more then one FS . (config-router)#variance 2 then show ip route to verify your information
