Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 816

How do OSPF and EIGRP compare?

Answer options

• A. Both OSPF and EIGRP use the concept of areas.
• B. OSPF and EIGRP use the same administrative distance.
• C. EIGRP shows successor and feasible successor routes, and OSPF shows all known routes.
• D. EIGRP shows all known routes, and OSPF shows successor and feasible successor routes.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, highlights that EIGRP provides information on its successor and feasible successor routes, which is a unique feature of EIGRP. In contrast, OSPF lists all known routes in its routing table. Options A and B are incorrect as OSPF uses areas and they have different administrative distances, respectively. Option D incorrectly states the functionality of OSPF and EIGRP.
