Cisco EIGRP Configuration

Hi,
Our school has two locations that are currently linked via a full T1 (PTP) connection. We are planning to have a second but primary PTP connection based on Optical Laser or FSO technology. The link operates at 100Mbps in Full Duplex mode. My current routing protocol is RIP and am planning to switch to EIGRP as it has better routing mechanisms in-built. I'm planning my configuring something like this and would like to have comments, suggestions or pointers to how to go about using FSO as primary and T1 as backup link.

Config:
Location A (main building and common internet gateway for both locations):
Ethernet 0/0
description "To Firewall (Internet Gateway)"
Ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

Ethernet 0/1
description "Location A LAN"
Ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0

Ethernet 0/2
description "New PTP primary Link - Location A < > B"
Ip address 192.168.4.1 255.255.255.0

Serial 0/0
Description "T1 Backup Link Location A < > B"
Ip address 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.0

Router eigrp 100
Network 192.168.0.0

Location B:
Ethernet 0/0
description "Location B LAN"
Ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0

Ethernet 0/1
description "PTP primary Link - Location A < > B"
Ip address 192.168.4.1 255.255.255.0

Serial 0/0
Description "T1 link - PTP Link - Location A < > B"
Ip address 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.0

Router eigrp 200
Network 192.168.0.0

Thanks, Sharad

Sorry typo on the bandwidth command

On the fiber interface you will use:

bandwidth 100000 (not 100) <---set in Kbps

Yes you will need to make sure to place the correct bandwidth command on the correct interface. You will also need to set up eigrp on the neighbor routers as well (make sure to use the same AS ). Also i recommend using the "no auto" command under eigrp to disable auto-summarization.

eigrp 200
no auto
