ICND1: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (CCENT, legacy) — Question 55

Which two statements about administrative distance are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The metric is used to determine which administrative distance is selected from the routing table.
• B. The metric is calculated independently of the administrative distance.
• C. It identifies the routing protocol priority.
• D. It identifies the metric used for path calculation.
• E. The metric uses the administrative distance to calculate a path. BC

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C. Option B is accurate because the metric is computed independently of administrative distance, which does not influence it. Option C is also correct as administrative distance helps determine the priority of routing protocols, while options A, D, and E are incorrect as they misrepresent the roles of metric and administrative distance.
