11+ 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 learns 172.16.40.0/24 from OSPF with AD 110 and metric 20. It also learns the same prefix from EIGRP with AD 90 and feasible distance 30720. Which route is installed?
Explanation: When the same prefix is learned from different routing protocols, the router compares administrative distance first. EIGRP internal routes have AD 90, which beats OSPF AD 110, so the EIGRP path goes into the table.
Drag and drop the route types on the left to the correct administrative distance and use case descriptions on the right.
Explanation: All the given pairings are correct. Connected routes use AD 0 because they are directly connected. Static routes use AD 1 as they are manually configured. EIGRP internal routes have AD 90, and OSPF routes have AD 110; both are IGPs used for routing within the same autonomous system.
Why is a default route often called a route of last resort?
Explanation: Ly identifies the default route as a route of last resort because it is used only when no more specific route matches the destination. Option B is incorrect because bandwidth is not a defining characteristic of a default route; it is simply a fallback path. Option C is wrong because default routes can be configured statically or learned via any routing protocol (e.g., OSPF, EIGRP, RIP), not exclusively OSPF. Option D is false because the default route is the least specific route (0.0.0.0/0), not more specific than any other route.
A router shows the following routing table entries for the same destination: O 10.10.50.0/24 [110/20] via 192.168.12.2, GigabitEthernet0/0 D 10.10.50.0/24 [90/30720] via 192.168.13.2, GigabitEthernet0/1 Which route will become the active route in the routing table?
Explanation: The EIGRP route becomes active because the router compares administrative distance first when the same destination is learned from different routing protocols. This is one of the most common Cisco exam traps: candidates compare the OSPF metric value of 20 to the EIGRP metric value and assume the smaller number must win. That is not how route selection works across different protocols. OSPF metrics and EIGRP metrics are calculated differently, so the router does not compare them directly. Instead it checks administrative distance. EIGRP internal routes default to 90, while OSPF routes default to 110. Since 90 is lower than 110, the EIGRP route is trusted more and is installed as the active path.
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.

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.
