I thought OSPF was lower priority than EIGRP.

OSPF has an AD of 110, EIGRP is 90.

I believe the answer is B, 90, since EIGRP is preferred over OSPF. But I should double-check my notes just to be safe!

I’m a bit confused about the distances. I thought OSPF was 110, but I can't recall if EIGRP is 90 or something else.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think OSPF is 110 and EIGRP is 90. So, I guess the route from EIGRP would be preferred?

I think OSPF has a lower administrative distance than EIGRP, but I'm not entirely sure what the exact numbers are.

Wait, I thought OSPF had a lower administrative distance than EIGRP. This is confusing me a bit, but I'll try to work through it step-by-step.

Okay, I've got this. OSPF has an administrative distance of 110, while EIGRP has an administrative distance of 90. So the route from the EIGRP neighbor will be installed in the routing table.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this. I know OSPF has a lower administrative distance than EIGRP, but I can't remember the exact values off the top of my head.

This is a tricky one, but I think I can figure it out. Let me think through the administrative distances for OSPF and EIGRP.

This is a tricky one, but I'm pretty sure the answer is D. EIGRP and OSPF have different default administrative distances, so the EIGRP route will take precedence.
