routing protocols : EIGRP - advanced distance vector routing protocol and Administrative Distance

The video tutorial explains EIGRP, a hybrid routing protocol combining elements of distance vector and link state protocols. It highlights EIGRP's ease of configuration and its ability to form neighbor relationships like link state protocols. The concept of administrative distance is introduced as a measure of a routing protocol's trustworthiness, with EIGRP having a lower administrative distance than OSPF and RIP. The video also compares these protocols, emphasizing EIGRP's advantages in terms of configuration simplicity and performance in Cisco networks.

What type of routing protocol is EIGRP considered to be?

• Distance vector

• Link state

• Hybrid

• Static

What is a key disadvantage of using EIGRP?

• It does not form neighbor relationships

• It has a high administrative distance

• It is difficult to configure

• It is Cisco proprietary

What is the administrative distance of EIGRP?

• 90

• 255

• 120

• 110

Which routing protocol has the lowest administrative distance?

• Unknown routes

• EIGRP

• OSPF

• RIP

Why do static routes have a low administrative distance?

• They are manually configured by the administrator

• They are less reliable

• They are automatically updated

• They are received from neighboring devices

What does EIGRP consider when determining the best route?

• Latency

• Hop count

• Bandwidth and delay

• Cost

Which protocol only uses hop count to determine the best route?

• OSPF

• RIP

• EIGRP

• BGP
