Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A router has learned three possible routes that could be used to reach a destination network. One route is from EIGRP and has a composite metric of 20514560. Another route is from OSPF with a metric of 782. The last is from RIPv2 and has a metric of 4. Which route or routes will the router install in the routing table?
A
the OSPF route
B
the EIGRP route
C
the RIPv2 route
D
all three routes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Routers refer to internal routing tables to make decisions about how to route packets along network paths. A routing table records the paths that packets should take to reach every destination that the router is responsible for.

Detailed explanation-2: -Given two separate routes to the same destination, the router chooses the route with the lowest AD. When a router has the choice of a static route and an EIGRP route, the static route takes precedence. Similarly, a directly connected route with an AD of 0 takes precedence over a static route with an AD of 1.

Detailed explanation-3: -Destination address: this refers to the IP address of the destination network. Subnet mask/Netmask: this refers to the class or range of the destination address. Gateway/Next Hop: this refers to the next IP address to which the packet is forwarded. More items •11-Mar-2023
