Chapter 9 quiz

EIGRP uses a robust metric based on both _______________and ______________, so routers make good choices about the best route to use.

What term describes what a router knows about each route? At the end of the process when a router learns about a route to a subnet, all the router knows is some measurement of distance (the metric) and the next-hop router and outgoing interface to use for that route (a vector, or direction).

EIGRP is less likely to cause a loop than OSPF.

EIGRP sends update messages without UDP or TCP, but it does use a protocol called _____________. _______________ provides a mechanism to resend any EIGRP messages that are not received by a neighbor.

Route poisoning is the practice of …

A router learns of a potential neighbor by receiving a Hello. The Hello must be received within 40 sec to be a potential neighbor. Then the router checks the following settings to determine whether the router should be allowed to become a neighbor:

f a non successor route’s RD is greater than the FD, the route is a feasible successor route.

__________________ is a DV feature that tells the routing protocol to not advertise some routes in an update sent out an interface: routes that list that interface as the outgoing interface. Those routes that are not advertised on an interface usually include the routes learned in routing updates received on that interface.
