200-301 · Question #1108
Refer to the exhibit. What is the next-hop IP address for R2 so that PC2 reaches the application server via EIGRP?
The correct answer is B. 10.10.10.6. R2 determines the next-hop IP address for reaching the application server via EIGRP by consulting its EIGRP routing table for the optimal path.

Why each option
R2 determines the next-hop IP address for reaching the application server via EIGRP by consulting its EIGRP routing table for the optimal path.
This IP address is not identified as the next-hop on the optimal EIGRP path from R2 to the application server based on the provided choices and problem context.
The IP address 10.10.10.6 represents the interface of a directly connected EIGRP neighbor, which R2's routing table has determined to be the optimal next-hop for reaching the application server through the EIGRP routing protocol.
The IP address 10.10.10.5 would likely be an interface IP address on R2 itself, which cannot be a next-hop for traffic leaving R2.
This IP address is not identified as the next-hop on the optimal EIGRP path from R2 to the application server based on the provided choices and problem context.
