Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What two metrics are used by EIGRP to select the best network route?
A
bandwidth and delay
B
bandwidth and resiliency
C
throughput and hop count
D
throughput and delay
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -EIGRP calculates its metric by using bandwidth, delay, reliability and load. By default, only bandwidth and delay are used when calulating metric, while reliability and load are set to zero.

Detailed explanation-2: -Metric = bandwidth (slowest link) + delay (sum of delays) Delay: sums of delays in the path multiplied by 256 (in tens of microseconds).

Detailed explanation-3: -By default EIGRP uses bandwidth and delay of the line to determine the best path to a remote network. However, if desired, EIGRP can use a composite of four metrics: bandwidth, delay, reliability, and load.

Detailed explanation-4: -EIGRP Classic Metric Formula with Default K-values Bandwidth is the slowest link referenced to a 10 Gbps link (107). The link speed is from the configured Bandwidth on the interface, and Delay values are the quantity of the total measure of path delay in microseconds.
