Implementing Cisco IP Routing (CCNP ROUTE, legacy) — Question 306

EIGRP has been configured to operate over Frame Relay multipoint connections. What should the bandwidth command be set to?

Answer options

• A. the CIR rate of the lowest speed connection multiplied by the number of circuits
• B. the CIR rate of the lowest speed connection
• C. the CIR rate of the highest speed connection

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the bandwidth command for EIGRP over a multipoint Frame Relay connection should reflect the CIR rate of the slowest link to ensure proper routing updates and performance. Option A is incorrect because multiplying the CIR rate by the number of circuits does not accurately represent the effective bandwidth for EIGRP operations. Option C is also wrong, as using the highest speed connection's CIR would not account for the limitations imposed by the slowest link.
