Implementing Cisco IP Routing (CCNP ROUTE, legacy) — Question 224

Which condition must be satisfied before an EIGRP neighbor can be considered a feasible successor?

Answer options

• A. The neighbor's advertised distance must be less than or equal to the feasible distance of the current successor.
• B. The neighbor's advertised distance must be less than the feasible distance of the current successor.
• C. The neighbor's advertised distance must be greater than the feasible distance of the current successor.

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a feasible successor must have an advertised distance that is less than the feasible distance of the current successor to ensure it can be a viable alternative route. Option A is incorrect because it allows for equality, which does not meet the strict requirement for a feasible successor. Option C is wrong as it contradicts the necessary condition for a feasible successor, being greater than the feasible distance.
