EIGRP Questions 4
Here you will find answers to EIGRP – Part 4
Question 1
Which three statements are true about EIGRP route summarization? (Choose three)
A. Manual route summarization is configured in router configuration mode when the router is configured for EIGRP routing.
B. Manual route summarization is configured on the interface.
C. When manual summarization is configured, the summary route will use the metric of the largest specific metric of the summary routes.
D. The ip summary-address eigrp command generates a default route with an administrative distance of 90.
E. The ip summary-address eigrp command generates a default route with an administrative distance of 5.
F. When manual summarization is configured, the router immediately creates a route that points to null0 interface
Answer: B E F
Explanation
The ip summary-address eigrp {AS number} {address mask} command is used to configure a summary aggregate address for a specified interface. For example with the topology below:

R2 has 5 loopback interfaces but instead of advertising all these interfaces we can only advertise its summarized subnet. In this case the best summarized subnet should be 1.1.1.0/29 which includes all these 5 loopback interfaces.
R2(config)#interface fa0/0
R2(config-if)#ip summary-address eigrp 1 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.248
This configuration causes EIGRP to summarize network 1.1.1.0 and sends out Fa0/0 interface
After configuring manual EIGRP summary, the routing table of the local router will have a route to Null0:

So why is this route inserted in the routing table when doing summarization? Well, you may notice that although our summarized subnet is 1.1.1.0/29 but we don’t have all IP addresses in this subnet. Assignable IP addresses of subnet 1.1.1.0/29 are from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.6. Imagine what happens if R1 sends a packet to 1.1.1.6. Because R1 do believe R2 is connected with this IP so it will send this packet to R2. But R2 does not have this IP so if R2 has a default-route to R1 (for example R1 is connected to the Internet and R2 routes all unknown destination IP packets to R1) then a loop will occur.
To solve this problem, some routing protocols automatically add a route to Null0. A packet is sent to “Null0″ means that packet is dropped. Suppose that R1 sends a packet to 1.1.1.6 through R2, even R2 does not have a specific route for that IP, it does have a general route pointing to Null0 which the packet sent to 1.1.1.6 can be matched -> That packet is dropped at R2 without causing a routing loop!
By default, EIGRP summary routes are given an administrative distance value of 5. Notice that this value is only shown on the local router doing the summarization. On other routers we can still see an administrative distance of 90 in their routing table.

Question 2
After implementing EIGRP on your network, you issue the show ip eigrp traffic command on router C. The following output is shown:
RouterC#show ip eigrp traffic
IF-EIGRP Traffic Statistics for process 1
Hellos sent/received: 481/444
Updates sent/received: 41/32
Queries sent/received: 5/1
Replies sent/received: 1/4
Acks sent/received: 21/25
Input queue high water mark 2, 0 drops
SIA-Queries sent/received: 0/0
SIA-Replies sent/received: 0/0
Approximately 25 minutes later, you issue the same command again. The following output is shown:
RouterC#show ip eigrp traffic
IP-EIGRP Traffic Statistics for process 1
Hellos sent/received: 1057/1020
Updates sent/received: 41/32
Queries sent/received: 5/1
Replies sent/received: 1/4
Acks sent/received: 21/25
Input queue high water mark 2, 0 drops
SIA-Queries sent/received: 0/0
SIA-Replies sent/received: 0/0
Approximately 25 minutes later, you issue the same command a third time. The following output is shown:
RouterC#show ip eigrp traffic
IP-EIGRP Traffic Statistics for process 1
Hellos sent/received: 1754/1717
Updates sent/received: 41/32
Queries sent/received: 5/1
Replies sent/received: 1/4
Acks sent/received: 21/25
Input queue high water mark 2, 0 drops
SIA-Queries sent/received: 0/0
SIA-Replies sent/received: 0/0
What can you conclude about this network?
A. The network has been stable for at least the last 45 minutes.
B. There is a flapping link or interface, and router C knows an alternate path to the network.
C. There is a flapping link or interface, and router A does not know an alternate path to the network.
D. EIGRP is not working correctly on router C.
E. There is not enough information to make a determination.
Answer: A
Explanation
In three times using the command, the “Queries sent/received” & “Replies sent/received” are still the same -> the network is stable.
Question 3
After implementing EIGRP on your network, you issue the show ip eigrp traffic command on router C. The following output is shown:
RouterC#show ip eigrp traffic
IP-EIGRP Traffic Statistics for process 1
Hellos sent/received: 2112/2076
Updates sent/received: 47/38
Queries sent/received: 5/3
Replies sent/received: 3/4
Acks sent/received: 29/33
Input queue high water mark 2, 0 drops
SIA-Queries sent/received: 0/0
SIA-Replies sent/received: 0/0
Moments later, you issue the same command a second time and the following output is shown:
RouterC#show ip eigrp traffic
IP-EIGRP Traffic Statistics for process 1
Hellos sent/received: 2139/2104
Updates sent/received: 50/39
Queries sent/received: 5/4
Replies sent/received: 4/4
Acks sent/received: 31/37
Input queue high water mark 2, 0 drops
SIA-Queries sent/received: 0/0
SIA-Replies sent/received: 0/0
Moments later, you issue the same command a third time and the following output is shown:
RouterC#show ip eigrp traffic
IP-EIGRP Traffic Statistics for process 1
Hellos sent/received: 2162/2126
Updates sent/received: 53/42
Queries sent/received: 5/5
Replies sent/received: 5/4
Acks sent/received: 35/41
Input queue high water mark 2, 0 drops
SIA-Queries sent/received: 0/0
SIA-Replies sent/received: 0/0
What information can you determine about this network?
A. The network is stable.
B. There is a flapping link or interface, and router C knows an alternate path to the network.
C. There is a flapping link or interface, and router C does not know an alternate path to the network.
D. EIGRP is not working correctly on router C.
E. There is not enough information to make a determination.
Answer: B
Explanation
We notice that the “Queries received” number is increased so router C has been asked for a route. The “Replies sent” number is also increased -> router C knows an alternate path to the network.
Question 4
R1 and R2 are connected and are running EIGRP on all their interfaces, R1 has four interfaces, with IP address 172.16.1.1/24, 172.16.2.3/24,172.16.5.1/24, and 10.1.1.1/24. R2 has two interfaces, with IP address 172.16.1.2/24 and 192.168.1.1/24. There are other routers in the network that are connected on each of the interfaces of these two routers that are also running EIGRP. Which summary routes does R1 generate automatically (assuming auto-summarization is enable)? (choose two)
A. 192.168.1.0/24
B. 10.0.0.0/8
C. 172.16.1.0/22
D. 172.16.0.0/16
E. 10.1.1.0/24
Answer: B D
Question 5

There was an exhibit, 172.16.1.0/24 to 172.16.2.0/24 with the 4 paths with mentions of eigrp metric and asked if the variance is put to 2 in exhibit then what 2 paths are not used by eigrp routing table? (Choose two)
A. R1—R2—R6
B. R1—R3—R6
C. R1—R4—R6
D. R1—R5—R6
Answer: C D
Question 6
What does the default value of the EIGRP variance command of 1 mean?
A. Load balancing is disabled on this router.
B. The router performs equal-cost load balancing.
C. Only the path that is the feasible successor should be used.
D. The router only performs equal-cost load balancing on all paths that have a metric greater than 1.
Answer: B
Question 7
Refer to the exhibit. EIGRP has been configured on all routers in the network. The command metric weights 0 0 1 0 0 has been added to the EIGRP process so that only the delay metric is used in the path calculations. Which router will R1 select as the successor and feasible successor for Network A?

A. R4 becomes the successor for Network A and will be placed in the routing table. R2 becomes the feasible successor for Network A.
B. R4 becomes the successor for Network A and will be included in the routing table. No feasible successor will be selected as the advertised distance from R2 is higher than the feasible distance.
C. R2 becomes the successor and will be placed in the routing table. R4 becomes the feasible successor for Network A.
D. R2 becomes the successor and will be placed in the routing table. No feasible successor will be selected as the reported distance from R4 is lower than the feasible distance.
Answer: B
Question 8
Based on the exhibited output, which three statements are true? (Choose three)

A. R1 is in AS 200.
B. R1 will load balance between three paths to reach the 192.168.1.48/28 prefix because all three paths have the same advertised distance (AD) of 40512000.
C. The best path for R1 to reach the 192.168.1.48/28 prefix is via 192.168.1.66.
D. 40512000 is the advertised distance (AD) via 192.168.1.66 to reach the 192.168.1.48/28 prefix.
E. All the routes are in the passive mode because these routes are in the hold-down state.
F. All the routes are in the passive mode because R1 is in the query process for those routes.
Answer: A C D
Explanation
In the statement “IP-EIGRP Topology Table for process 200″, process 200 here means AS 200 -> A is correct.
There are 3 paths to reach network 192.168.1.48/28 but there is only 1 path in the routing table (because there is only 1 successor) so the path with least FD will be chosen -> path via 192.168.1.66 with a FD of 40537600 will be chosen -> C is correct.
The other parameter, 40512000, is the AD of that route -> D is correct.
Question 9
Characteristics of the routing protocol EIGRP? (choose two)
A. Updates are sent as broadcast.
B. Updates are sent as multicast.
C. LSAs are sent to adjacent neighbors.
D. Metric values are represented in a 32-bit format for granularity.
Answer: B D
Question 10
Which EIGRP packet statement is true?
A. On high-speed links, hello packets are broadcast every 5 seconds for neighbor discovery.
B. On low-speed links, hello packets are broadcast every 15 seconds for neighbor discovery.
C. Reply packets are multicast to IP address 224.0.0.10 using RTP.
D. Update packets route reliable change information only to the affected routers.
E. Reply packets are used to send routing updates.
Answer: D

Is answer A not also correct in question 10?
Yes. answer A is not correct because CISCO always tries to trick everyone; the keyword in here is “broadcast.” EIGRP doesn’t use a broadcast address as RIPv1 does. It uses the default multicast address of 224.0.0.10. I also was trying to figure out why A wasn’t the right answer for a while until I realized the “broadcast” word.
Q2: as far as Router C learns route to the flapping link through the summary (or being a stub router), answer E would be correct!??
Very great job Digitaltut !!!
@Da If you think Cisco is tricking you.. you should try a Microsoft test :D
Has anyone passed the exam recently?..
#3,4, 10 were on my test
Q10 C is also tricky. the key word is multicast. Replies are unicasts.
Hello Friends,
I just started to study the ROUTE test after taking almost two years off from passing the CCNA. I am planning to take the ROUTE test in two months. Are the Sims, Drag and Drop, Questions, and everything else on this site still valid for the ROUTE test?
Thank you all!
thank you ry.
guys which website can i use for switch?
lampitt
http://www.certprepare.com/
in question 10,why not C?
@ furqan because replies are unicast and not multicast as in question it is stated replies are multicast .. so wrong statement .. thats why C is not the option
question 5, can someone explain?
never mind. I figured it out. I was confused with AD/FD.
Q3: How do we know router C knows an alternate path to the network? Isn’t the reply sent back in any case (whether reachable or unreachable)?
OK, no queries are sent out, but what if there’s EIGRP running only on one int?
Anyone can see distance 5 in the Q1 ?
Paulo,
sh ip route 1.1.1.0 on the router that does summary
is the answer for question # 4 is corect ? cheack it pls, cos it is summarised to the class full address how ?
pyar ki pungi :p
Can some one please explain question 5.
many thanks,
In Q.5- what 2 paths are not used by eigrp routing table—its not
So AD of 40 and 45 not being used
so C and D is ans
Q5
FD of R1-R3-R6 is15 and that multiplied by variance 2 is 30
the Metric of R1-R4-R6 is 40 and R1-R5-R6 is 45
there metric is higher then the metric of R1-R3-R6 which is 30 ( due to variance 2)
R1-R5-R6 does have a AD of 5 and could become a FS which is less the FD of R1-R3-R6 which is 15 but because of It’s higher metric of 45 it cant be use to for loadbalacing
R1-R4-R6 isn’t even a FS because its AD (20) is higher then the FD of R1-R3-R6 (15)
hope this clear it up…
cheers…
great work black-cisco
Q3:
In my opinion there is an error in explanation, but the answer is correct.
You say:
We notice that the “Queries received” number is increased so router C has been asked for a route. The “Replies sent” number is also increased -> router C knows an alternate path to the network.
I say:
We notice that the “Queries received” number is increased so router C has been asked for a route. The “Queries sent” numbers stays the same (5) in all three show commands, which tells us that this router knows an alternate path and therefore doesn’t need to send Queries further.
Hope I helped.
can some one help me with GNS3, Just passed my CCNA self study , preaparing for CCNP self study, I’m not from IT byground , your help appreciated Syedameenullah@yahoo.com
Q1 – Answer E is worng I think.
We will see a summary route with an administrative distance of 5 not a default route
Hi Guys!
Who can explain quest #7…….I think right answer will be A
AD for R2=10 FD=30 or 25 (I’m not sure)
FC=AD<FD so 10<30
FC is satisfied so answer I think A….
Hi,
no I think the given answer (B) is correct.
FD is 20 (R1 – R4 – R5) = 5 + 10 + 5
AD from R2 is 25 (R2 – R3 – R5) = 10 + 10 + 5
´cause AD>FD there´s no feasible successor
JJ,
AD of R2 is 25
FD of R1 is 20
25 >20 does not meet Feasibility Condition,
thus R2 cannot be Feasible successor.
Q1 – YEs Q1 is BCF!
Q1 – according to this, C is surely wrong: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/message/237245#237245
q4 is wrong right ans are A & B
Which summary routes does R1 generate automatically (assuming auto-summarization is enable)?
R1 has four interfaces, with IP address 172.16.1.1/24, 172.16.2.3/24,172.16.5.1/24, and 10.1.1.1/24.
By summarizing 172.16.1.1/24, 172.16.2.3/24,172.16.5.1/24 you will get 172.16.1.0/22
while the summary for 10.1.1.1 is 10.0.0.0/8
i.e for 172.16……, the difference starts occurring in the third octet
00000001
00000010
00000101 the first different bit form the left marks the summary, therefore from the /16 we add 6 bits to the point where the difference is noted to give a /22
Don’t concentrate on R2
Q4
@deno when autosummarisation is enabled I think that EIGRP process create summary routers only to classfull prefix (eg. 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/16, 192.168.0.0/24 etc.) so that summarisation in yours example must be done manually :)
EIGRP auto summarisation is done on major networks boundary so in question 4 on router R1 are networks 172.16.1.1/24, 172.16.2.3/24, 172.16.5.1/24, 10.1.1.1/24 and on router R2 are networks 172.16.1.2/24, 192.168.1.1/24. (and there is other networks)
In general when router R1 send updates to 172.16.X.0/24 neighbors only 10.0.0.0/8 will be summarised and when network updates are sent to neighbors 10.1.1.0/24, only 172.16.0.0/16 will be summarised. (similar is with router R2)
So router R1 generate summary routes
10.0.0.0/8
172.16.0.0/16
Q1 – E would be a correct answer, but it is incorrectly worded. It should state:
By default, the ip summary-address eigrp command generates a summary route with an administrative distance of 5.
agree with TW
Question 1
Should correct answer are B, C, F. ?
hi.
could you explain me the questio 6 and 7 please?

Q10 … when looking at Answer D, I’d think, by “only the affected routers”, they are referring to “these are unicasts” which is not true. On the other hand I’d think “Reply-Packets” do contain routing updates as they are replies to queries for missing routes. So, can anyone explain to me, why D is correct an E is wrong?
DaSteve, replay packets dont contain updates, they just reply to quries sent to them. Update packets contain updates, so change information, etc.
Thanks for all this. very usefull.
its good
Writin my exam next week
use the minimum number of network commands to advertise the network range 192.168.66.0/24-192.168.166.0/24 into EIGRP domain.
need help for this question . answer me on my email please. azizdia2003@yahoo.fr
thanks.
Since you need to learn the basic so First step, convert the network into binary
192. 168. 66. 0
11000000.101010000.01000010.00000000
192. 168. 166. 0
11000000.101010000.10100110.00000000
second step: we find what are the numbers of “COMMON BITs” between these 2 networks.
we line up the networks and then find out till where, the BITs are common.
We find that in this case the BITs are common till the end of second octet. See the line below,
telling that the bits are common (same) till the 16th bits. So in that case
192.168.0.0 will be our network and 16 will be our subnet mask.
11000000.101010000.|01000010.00000000
|
same Different
|
11000000.101010000.|10100110.00000000
so for your case the EIGRP summary address would be
ip summary-address eigrp ASnumber 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0
I am curious how to see the AD=5 in EIGRP summary in question #1.
It says (in the explanation) that this value is only shown on the local router doing the summarization.
Q1.
Is this statement correct? Can any one help me?
“E. THE IP SUMMARY-ADDRESS EIGRP COMMAND GENERATES A DEFAULT
ROUTE WITH AN ADMINISTRATIVE DISTANCE OF 5″
Zeremahesh,
Yes, the summary-adress eigrp generates a AD of 5. You can verify this with GNS3 ;)
@new_student
You can check that through the command #show ip route [network] [network-mask]
where network network-mask -> summarized address
Hi all,
Which show command will display the two values used in the calculation of
the EIGRP metric?
A. show protocol
B. show ip eigrp interface
C. show interface
D. show ip eigrp neighbor
I think answer C is the correct but I found some tests that says answer B. Please help, I’ll take the exam next thursday.
Answer of Q-10 should includes c. Multicast on 224.0.0.10. Is it not correct?? Explain Please.
Digitaltut Sir or Ma’am. I just have one request.. Could you please add a little more separation between the question and answer? I like that the answers are right after the question but I like to be able to hide the answer until after I have considered the questions fully. As it is now, the answers are too close and I frequently scroll too much so I see the answer before I want to. No problem if it can’t be done but sure would help me a lot. Then again, you folks at the Tut have helped my education tremendously as is.
Thanks, muddy!
@Arpit
Hello packets- Unicats/multicats
Update:- unicast/Multicast
Query:-multicast
reply:- unicast
ack:- unicast
for summary metric….u can check it with “Show Run” also.
when you will look at the command in the end you will find 5. this is by default even u can give desirable metric int hat command.

Hi Lalo.
Q7. for selecting Feasible successor. The condition Must be AD(Advertised Distance) of Feasible Succesor must be less than the FD(Feasible distance) of the Current Successor.Here Successor FD is 15. None of the router will meets the desired criteria.
R1-R4-R5- Will be one route R4 will selected as succesor.
R1-R2-r3-R5 – will be the other route. which AD was 20(R2-R5).
The condition doesnot met – 20<15
So there wont be any feasible successor for this topology if succesor goes down that is R4 goes down. then route enter in toa active state. I Hope u r clear on Q7.
@ Lalo
Q8. first line Sh EIGRP toplogy indicates. its running EIGRP AS 200 So Answer A is correct.
for 192.168.1.48 there is only one successor so it load balance in three paths is incorrect so Answer B is incorrect.
R1 for 192.168.1.48 has only one successor which was 192.168.1.66 because its FD was 40537600 rest of two ips greater than this. so 192.168.1.66 was successor for 192.168.1.48. So answer C is correcct.
Answer D is correct 40512000 is the advertised distance (AD) via 192.168.1.66 to reach the 192.168.1.48/28 prefix.
Hi guys,
Is any book or materials/website that is good on objectives/theory? I greatly appreciate feedback. Thanks. firstroberts@gmail.com
