Implementing Cisco IP Routing (CCNP ROUTE, legacy) — Question 160

Which configuration command is used to enable EIGRP unequal-cost path load balancing?

Answer options

• A. maximum-paths
• B. distance
• C. metric
• D. variance

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is D. variance, which is specifically used in EIGRP to allow unequal-cost load balancing by defining the maximum allowable metric difference. Options A, B, and C do not relate to enabling unequal-cost load balancing; maximum-paths only sets the number of paths, distance defines administrative distance, and metric refers to the path cost itself.
