Discuss Cisco 200-301 Exam Topic 1 Question 126

By default, how Does EIGRP determine the metric of a route for the routing table?

Ait uses the bandwidth and delay values of the path to calculate the route metric

Bit uses a default metric of 10 for all routes that are learned by the router

Cit uses a reference Bandwidth and the actual bandwidth of the connected link to calculate the route metric

Dit counts the number of hops between the receiving and destination routers and uses that value as the metric

Suggested Answer: A

D seems too simplistic. Hops don't tell the whole story.

Alesia 7 days ago

I lean towards C too. It considers actual link performance.

Vilma 12 days ago

But isn't A more accurate overall? Delay matters a lot.

Jamal 17 days ago

I feel like C is also a good choice. Reference bandwidth is important.

Miles 22 days ago

I agree, A makes sense. It reflects real network conditions.

Mike 27 days ago

I think it's A. Bandwidth and delay are key metrics.

Luisa 1 month ago

Right, it’s all about the metrics, not just hops.

Eleonore 1 month ago

Exactly, EIGRP is more complex than just counting hops.

Afton 1 month ago

D is not right, EIGRP isn’t hop count based.

Beatriz 2 months ago

B seems too simplistic for EIGRP.

Stephaine 2 months ago

I feel like A is the best choice, it’s more accurate.

Alexis 2 months ago

C could be right too, reference bandwidth matters.

Luisa 2 months ago

I agree, A makes the most sense.

Eleonore 2 months ago

I think it's A. Bandwidth and delay are key.

Ryan 2 months ago

Wow, I didn't know it used delay too! That's interesting!

Dominic 3 months ago

C is also a factor, but A is the main one!

Kate 3 months ago

Wait, I thought it was just about hops? D doesn't seem right.

Peter 3 months ago

Totally agree with A! That's how EIGRP works.

Alita 3 months ago

A) is correct, it uses bandwidth and delay.

Kristofer 3 months ago

I thought EIGRP had a default metric of 10 for all routes, but that seems too simplistic for how it actually works.

Erasmo 3 months ago

I feel like I saw a practice question that mentioned hops, but I don't think EIGRP uses that method like some other protocols do.

Gerardo 4 months ago

I remember something about a reference bandwidth being involved in the metric calculation, so maybe option C is correct?

Rebecka 4 months ago

I think EIGRP uses bandwidth and delay to calculate the metric, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only factor.
