Cisco 200-301 Exam - Topic 1 Question 126 Discussion

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

B) it uses a default metric of 10 for all routes that are learned by the router
C) it uses a reference Bandwidth and the actual bandwidth of the connected link to calculate the route metric
D) it counts the number of hops between the receiving and destination routers and uses that value as the metric

B seems too simplistic for EIGRP.

C could be right too, reference bandwidth matters.

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

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

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

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.

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

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