350-401 Question #741: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is B: It is the minimum metric to reach the destination as stored in the topology table.. In EIGRP, the feasible distance (FD) is the best calculated metric to a destination network, representing the lowest cost path known to the routing device and stored in the topology table.

Question
Which statement about the feasible distance in EIGRP is true?
Options
- AIt is the maximum metric that should feasibly be considered for installation in the RIB.
- BIt is the minimum metric to reach the destination as stored in the topology table.
- CIt is the metric that is supplied by the best next hop toward the destination.
- DIt is the maximum metric possible based on the maximum hop count that is allowed.
Explanation
In EIGRP, the feasible distance (FD) is the best calculated metric to a destination network, representing the lowest cost path known to the routing device and stored in the topology table.
Common mistakes.
- A. The feasible distance is the best (minimum) metric to a destination, not the maximum metric that should be considered.
- C. The metric supplied by the best next hop is the advertised distance (AD), which is a component used to calculate the feasible distance, but not the feasible distance itself.
- D. EIGRP uses a composite metric based on bandwidth, delay, reliability, and load, not primarily hop count, and the feasible distance is not related to a maximum hop count allowed.
