CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 211

Which two actions influence the EIGRP route selection process? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The advertised distance is calculated by a downstream neighbor to inform the local router of the bandwidth on the link.
• B. The router calculates the feasible distance of all paths to the destination route.
• C. The router must use the advertised distance as the metric for any given route.
• D. The router calculates the best backup path to the destination route and assigns it as the feasible successor.
• E. The router calculates the reported distance by multiplying the delay on the exiting interface by 256.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answer options, B and D, are pivotal in the EIGRP route selection process. B is correct because feasible distance calculation is essential for determining the best route, while D is accurate as it identifies the backup path. Options A, C, and E do not directly influence the selection process in the same manner as they pertain to other metrics or calculations that do not determine route preference.
