CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 159

You have two paths for the 10.10.10.0 network - one that has a feasible distance of 3072 and the other of 6144.
What do you need to do to load balance your EIGRP routes?

Answer options

• A. Change the maximum paths to 2
• B. Change the configuration so they both have the same feasible distance
• C. Change the variance for the path that has a feasible distance of 3072 to 2
• D. Change the IP addresses so both paths have the same source IP address

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because adjusting the variance allows EIGRP to consider routes with higher feasible distances for load balancing. Options A and B are incorrect as they either do not influence the load balancing mechanism effectively or do not align the feasible distances. Option D is irrelevant as the source IP address does not affect EIGRP's route selection process.
