EIGRP-ChatGPT1

Question 1

What type of routing protocol is EIGRP?

A) Distance-vector
B) Link-state
C) Hybrid
D) Static

Answer 1

Answer:
C) Hybrid

Explanation:
EIGRP is a hybrid routing protocol because it combines features of both distance-vector and link-state routing protocols. It uses distance-vector algorithms for routing table calculations but has link-state capabilities for topology information exchange.

Question 2

Which metric does EIGRP primarily use to calculate the best path to reach a destination network?

A) Hop count
B) Bandwidth
C) Delay
D) Administrative distance

Answer 2

Answer:
C) Delay

Explanation:
EIGRP primarily uses the “delay” metric to calculate the best path to a destination network. It considers the cumulative delay along the path to determine the most optimal route.

Question 3

What is the maximum number of equal-cost paths (feasible successors) that EIGRP can store in its topology table?

A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4

Answer 3

Answer:
B) 2

Explanation:
EIGRP can store up to two equal-cost paths (feasible successors) in its topology table. These paths can be used for load balancing and redundancy.

Question 4

Which administrative distance does EIGRP assign to routes within the same autonomous system (AS)?

A) 1
B) 90
C) 100
D) 110

Answer 4

Answer:
B) 90

Explanation:
EIGRP assigns an administrative distance of 90 to routes within the same autonomous system (AS). This value makes EIGRP routes more preferable than routes learned from other routing protocols with higher administrative distances.

Question 5

What multicast address does EIGRP use for its routing updates?

A) 224.0.0.5
B) 224.0.0.6
C) 224.0.0.9
D) 224.0.0.10

Answer 5

Answer:
D) 224.0.0.10

Explanation:
EIGRP uses the multicast address 224.0.0.10 for its routing updates. This address is used to send EIGRP updates to neighboring routers within the same autonomous system (AS).
