[All 200-301 Questions]

Which two actions influence the EIGRP route selection process? (Choose two.)

  • A. The advertised distance is calculated by a downstream neighbor to inform the local router of the bandwidth on the link.
  • B. The router calculates the feasible distance of all paths to the destination route.
  • C. The router must use the advertised distance as the metric for any given route.
  • D. The router calculates the best backup path to the destination route and assigns it as the feasible successor.
  • E. The router calculates the reported distance by multiplying the delay on the exiting interface by 256.

Suggested Answer: BD 🗳️
The reported distance (or advertised distance) is the cost from the neighbor to the destination. It is calculated from the router advertising the route to the network.
For example in the topology below, suppose router A & B are exchanging their routing tables for the first time. Router B says ג€Hey, the best metric (cost) from me to IOWA is 50 and the metric from you to IOWA is 90ג€ and advertises it to router A. Router A considers the first metric (50) as the Advertised distance. The second metric (90), which is from NEVADA to IOWA (through IDAHO), is called the Feasible distance.

The reported distance is calculated in the same way of calculating the metric. By default (K1 = 1, K2 = 0, K3 = 1, K4 = 0, K5 = 0), the metric is calculated as follows:

Feasible successor is the backup route. To be a feasible successor, the route must have an Advertised distance (AD) less than the Feasible distance (FD) of the current successor route.
Feasible distance (FD): The sum of the AD plus the cost between the local router and the next-hop router. The router must calculate the FD of all paths to choose the best path to put into the routing table.
Note: Although the new CCNA exam does not have EIGRP topic but you should learn the basic knowledge of this routing protocol.

The two answers with feasible in it, make them feasible answers.

EIGRP is NOT topic of 200-301.

Yes, it's on the exam. You must know how it calculates the best path and it's AD cost. That's about it.

It's not part of CCNA 200-301 or it shouldn't be. Cisco CCNA courses on Netacad don't even talk about EIGRP and then they would ask you questions about it? If so, that's a total scam and they want you to fail just to make more money.

I thought it was bandwith and delay

Read more about the operation of EIGRP and how it selects routes. Yes it uses bandwidth and delay but that's only the default parameters that it uses for the calculation.

WHY WOULD IT NOT BE "A" LEARNING FROM THE DOWN STREAM ?
upvoted 2 times

Not A because advertised distance is not a report of the bandwidth on the link. Sure it uses bandwidth and delay to calculate a metric but don't confuse the metric with the bandwidth they are not interchangeable. The Advertised Distance (AD) is the distance from a given neighbor to the destination router. https://www.pluralsight.com/blog/it-ops/eigrp-overview https://networklessons.com/eigrp/introduction-to-eigrp#:~:text=You%20have%20now%20learned%20two,to%20get%20to%20the%20destination.

Network topology updates are sent using eigrp, therefore the answer is C, because there was a circuit update by the engineer that has lower AD than the previous route from int0/0.

Yeah you should definitely learn this as well as the AD of other routing protocols.
