Implementing Cisco IP Routing (CCNP ROUTE, legacy) — Question 307

If the primary path goes down, what will EIGRP use to reach a destination?

Answer options

• A. administrative distance
• B. advertised successor
• C. successor

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is 'successor' because EIGRP uses successor routes to reach a destination when the primary path is unavailable. 'Administrative distance' is not relevant to path selection in this context, and 'advertised successor' refers to the information about possible routes rather than the active route used for forwarding traffic.
