By default, how does EIGRP determine the metric of a route for the routing table?

The correct answer is A. It uses the bandwidth and delay values of the path to calculate the route metric.. EIGRP uses the minimum bandwidth on the path to a destination network and the total delay to compute routing metrics.

Question

By default, how does EIGRP determine the metric of a route for the routing table?

Options

  • AIt uses the bandwidth and delay values of the path to calculate the route metric.
  • BIt uses a default metric of 10 for all routes that are learned by the router.
  • CIt counts the number of hops between the receiving and destination routers and uses that value
  • DIt uses a reference bandwidth and the actual bandwidth of the connected link to calculate the
