8+ practice questions focused on Eigrp — one of the most tested topics on the CCNA 200-301 v2 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Eigrp PracticeA router has the following routes in its routing table: a static route to 10.60.4.16/28, an OSPF route to 10.60.4.0/24, and an EIGRP route to 10.60.0.0/16. Which route will be used for a packet destined to 10.60.4.17?
Explanation: The route used will be the route with the longest matching prefix. In practical terms, 10.60.4.17 falls inside the /28 route shown, and that is more specific than the broader /24 and /16 alternatives. Because specificity comes first, the /28 route wins. This is a clean route-table interpretation problem that mirrors actual exam-style thinking very closely.
A router learns a route to 172.16.0.0/16 via OSPF (administrative distance 110) and a route to 172.16.10.0/24 via EIGRP (administrative distance 90). No other overlapping routes exist. Which TWO statements about how the router handles these routes are correct?
Explanation: B is correct because the router installs both routes in the routing table when they have different prefix lengths. The EIGRP route to 172.16.10.0/24 (AD 90) is more specific than the OSPF route to 172.16.0.0/16 (AD 110). The router uses the longest prefix match rule for forwarding, so both routes coexist without conflict.
Why is RIP rarely chosen for large modern enterprise networks?
Explanation: RIP is simple but has important scalability limits, including a maximum metric of 15 and relatively slow convergence compared with more modern protocols such as OSPF and EIGRP.
A router learns the same destination from EIGRP and OSPF. The EIGRP route has a metric of 1000, and the OSPF route has a metric of 10. Which route is installed by default?
Explanation: The EIGRP route is installed by default because route selection between different routing protocols is based on administrative distance before the protocol-specific metric is compared across sources. In plain language, the router does not compare an OSPF metric of 10 directly against an EIGRP metric of 1000 because those metrics come from different systems and are not numerically comparable in a meaningful cross-protocol way. Instead, the router first looks at the trustworthiness of the source. By default, internal EIGRP routes have a lower administrative distance than OSPF routes, so EIGRP wins even though the OSPF metric value appears lower. This is a classic CCNA trap designed to catch people who compare metrics across different protocols without considering administrative distance first.
A router learns the same prefix from both OSPF and EIGRP. Which route is installed by default?
Explanation: When identical prefixes are learned from different routing protocols, the router compares administrative distance first. EIGRP internal routes use AD 90, while OSPF uses AD 110.

Practice all Eigrp questions1. Baseline your knowledge
Start with 10 questions to gauge your current understanding of Eigrp. This tells you whether you need a concept refresher or just practice.
2. Review every explanation
For each question — right or wrong — read the full explanation. Understanding why an answer is correct is more valuable than knowing the answer itself.
3. Focus on exam traps
Eigrp questions on the 200-301 frequently use trap wording. Look for subtle differences in answers that test your precision, not just general knowledge.
4. Reach 80% consistently
Do repeated sessions until you score 80%+ three times in a row. Then move to mixed-mode practice to test cross-topic recall under realistic conditions.
The exact number varies per candidate. Eigrp is tested as part of the CCNA 200-301 v2 blueprint. Practicing with targeted Eigrp questions ensures you can handle any format or difficulty that appears.
