A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot an Administrative Distance issue:
R1# show ip route summary
Route Source Networks Subnets Overhead Memory (bytes) connected 2 0 0 512 static 1 0 0 256 eigrp 100 3 0 0 768 ospf 1 2 0 0 512 bgp 65001 1 0 0 256 internal 1 0 0 256 Total 10 0 0 2560
What does this output indicate?
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
✓
The router has 10 routes total, with EIGRP contributing the most routes.
The output shows a summary of routes from different sources. It does not show administrative distance values directly, but it lists the routing protocols and their route counts.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The router has 10 routes total, with EIGRP contributing the most routes.
Why this is correct
EIGRP has 3 networks, which is the highest count among protocols.
- ✗
The administrative distance for EIGRP routes is 90.
Why it's wrong here
The output does not show AD values.
- ✗
The router is redistributing between OSPF and EIGRP.
Why it's wrong here
The output does not indicate redistribution.
- ✗
The BGP route is preferred over the OSPF route for the same prefix.
Why it's wrong here
The output does not show any specific prefix comparison.
Visual reference
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.
