What is an offset-list, and how is it useful?
A. The offset-list is an feature used to modify the composite metrics in EIGRP. The value configured in the offset-list command is added to the delay value calculated by the router for the route matched by an access-list. An offset-list is the preferred method to influence a particular path that is advertised and/or chosen.
A. The offset-list is an feature used to modify the composite metrics in EIGRP, for example, bandwidth and delay. Since the bandwidth taken for the calculation is local to the router, the value applied in the offset-list is not applicable to bandwidth, so the offset-list affects only the delay value. The value configured in the offset-list command is added to the delay value calculated by the router for the route matched by an access-list. An offset-list is the preferred method to influence a particular path that is advertised and/or chosen.
