Implementing Cisco IP Routing (CCNP ROUTE, legacy) — Question 139

When troubleshooting an EIGRP connectivity problem, you notice that two connected EIGRP routers are not becoming EIGRP neighbors. A ping between the two routers was successful.
What is the next thing that should be checked?

Answer options

• A. Verify that the EIGRP hello and hold timers match exactly.
• B. Verify that EIGRP broadcast packets are not being dropped between the two routers with the show ip EIGRP peer command.
• C. Verify that EIGRP broadcast packets are not being dropped between the two routers with the show ip EIGRP traffic command.

Correct answer: E, I, G, R, P

Explanation

The correct next step is to verify that the EIGRP hello and hold timers match exactly, as mismatched timers can prevent routers from forming neighbor relationships. The other options focus on checking packet loss, which is not the immediate concern since the ping was successful, indicating IP connectivity is intact.
