Multiple choice

Refer to the exhibit. Router1 and Router2 are running EIGRP. All interfaces are operational and packets can be forwarded between all networks. What information will be found in the routing table for Router1?

  1. Router1 will have 6 directly connected networks.

  2. The administrative distance of the route to network 172.16.0.0 will be 90.

  3. The metric for routes to 172.16.0.0 will be 1.

  4. The interface that is used to forward packets to 172.16.0.0 will always be the S0/1 interface.

B Correct answer
Explanation

In EIGRP, routes learned from other EIGRP routers have an administrative distance (AD) of 90 by default. This AD value will appear in Router1's routing table for networks like 172.16.0.0 that are learned via EIGRP. Administrative distance is a trustworthiness metric used to rate routes from different routing protocols. Router1 would not have 6 directly connected networks in this scenario (it would have directly connected plus EIGRP-learned routes), EIGRP metrics are composite values based on bandwidth and delay (not simply 1), and the forwarding interface can change based on routing decisions.
