300-320 Question #364: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A: Bandwidth. EIGRP supports five metrics-Bandwidth, Delay (Latency), Reliability, Load, and MTU-controlled by K-values. By default, only K1 (Bandwidth) and K3 (Delay/Latency) are set to 1; all other K-values are 0. This means EIGRP uses only Bandwidth (A) and Delay/Latency (B) in its composit

Question

Which two metric are used by EIGRP by default to calculate its cost ? (Choose two)

Options

ABandwidth
BLatency
CMTU
DLoad

Explanation

EIGRP supports five metrics-Bandwidth, Delay (Latency), Reliability, Load, and MTU-controlled by K-values. By default, only K1 (Bandwidth) and K3 (Delay/Latency) are set to 1; all other K-values are 0. This means EIGRP uses only Bandwidth (A) and Delay/Latency (B) in its composite metric formula by default. MTU (C) is tracked by EIGRP but not used in the metric calculation. Load (D) is available but disabled by default because it changes frequently, which would cause excessive route recalculations.
