FrameRelay Map-Class and CIR

[CiscoFun]

Hello all,

Site A has a Frame-Relay Connection to Site C at 64KB and 32K CIR.
Site B has a Frame-Relay Connection to Site C at 64KB and a 16K CIR
Site A has a Fast-Ethernet Connection to Site B.

I have EIGRP turned on using AS number 1024.

I seem to be having trouble understanding what I should but under the map-class statements for these sites. I have the following:

Site A:
map-class frame-relay 32k
no frame-relay adaptive-shaping
frame-relay cir 32000
frame-relay bc 64000

Site B:
map-class frame-relay 16k
no frame-relay adaptive-shaping
frame-relay cir 16000
frame-relay bc 64000

The other issue I have is that EIGRP always sees the Fast-Ethernet as the best route to the destination. (Even on sites with equal CIR).

Thank you for any help.

EIGRP is calculating fastethernet port ( 10/100 MBPS) as the best path.

That is why it is not using the frame relay connection but the lan connection.

Yes I knew that but thank you very much. I am wondering how to fix this. I have played with variance but it seems to effect all my eigrp routes.

Thank you for you help.

The ether will always show up faster...unless you use the bandwidth command. On the fe, type "bandwidth..." something less then 32000. This will not actually change the bandwidth of the port, but the metric that eigrp uses to calculate the route.
