Drag and drop the steps of EIGRP named mode configuration steps into the correct order, from first to last.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enter global config and type router eigrp <name>
Named mode starts with the router eigrp <virtual-name> command, then enters address-family configuration, configures the network, and optionally adjusts timers or other parameters. Finally, the configuration is verified.
Quick reference
Routing Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Metric | Max Hops | Algorithm | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RIP v2 | Hop count | 15 | Bellman-Ford | Distance vector |
| OSPF | Cost (bandwidth) | Unlimited | Dijkstra (SPF) | Link state |
| EIGRP | Composite metric | Unlimited | DUAL | Hybrid |
| IS-IS | Cost | Unlimited | Dijkstra | Link state |
| BGP | Policy / attributes | Unlimited | Path vector | Path vector |
RIP's 15-hop limit makes it unsuitable for large networks. OSPF and EIGRP dominate modern enterprise deployments.

Variation 1. Drag and drop the steps of EIGRP named mode configuration steps into the correct order, from first to last.
medium- ✓ A.Create the EIGRP named mode instance
- ✓ B.Enter address-family ipv4 unicast
- ✓ C.Advertise networks using network statements
- ✓ D.Configure hello and hold timers if needed
- ✓ E.Verify with show ip eigrp interfaces detail
Why A: EIGRP named mode uses an address-family configuration. First, create the named EIGRP instance, then enter address-family IPv4, configure the network, optionally adjust timers, and finally verify the configuration.
