300-320 · Question #416
Which two values does EIGRP use to calculate the metric of a route in a converged EIGRP topology (choose two):
The correct answer is B. bandwidth D. delay. EIGRP uses a composite metric formula that incorporates up to five K-value weighted components: bandwidth, delay, load, reliability, and MTU. However, by default, only K1 (bandwidth) and K3 (delay) are enabled (set to 1), while K2 (load), K4 (reliability), and K5 (MTU) are set…

Explanation
EIGRP uses a composite metric formula that incorporates up to five K-value weighted components: bandwidth, delay, load, reliability, and MTU. However, by default, only K1 (bandwidth) and K3 (delay) are enabled (set to 1), while K2 (load), K4 (reliability), and K5 (MTU) are set to 0 and excluded from the calculation. The simplified default metric formula is: Metric = 256 × (10^7 / minimum_bandwidth_kbps + cumulative_delay_in_tens_of_microseconds). Bandwidth (B) represents the slowest link along the path to the destination, and Delay (D) is the cumulative sum of delays along the path. Hops (E) are used by RIP, not EIGRP. Cost (C) is the OSPF metric. Redundancy (A) is not a component of any standard routing protocol metric.
