Implementing Cisco IP Routing (CCNP ROUTE, legacy) — Question 236

ACME Rocket Sleds is growing, and so is their network. They have determined that they can no longer continue using static routes and must implement a dynamic routing protocol. They want to have data use multiple paths to the destinations, even if the paths are not equal cost.
Which routing protocol has the ability to do this?

Answer options

• A. EIGRP
• B. OSPF
• C. RIPv1
• D. RIPv2
• E. BGP

Correct answer:

Explanation

EIGRP is the correct choice because it supports unequal-cost load balancing, allowing traffic to utilize multiple paths to a destination. OSPF, while a robust protocol, does not support unequal-cost routing. RIPv1 and RIPv2 are limited to equal-cost routes, and BGP is more suited for inter-domain routing rather than the requirements specified.
