300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command on Router R4: R4# show…
A network engineer runs the following command on Router R4:
R4# show ip route 10.10.10.0
Routing entry for 10.10.10.0/24 Known via "connected", distance 0, metric 0 (connected) Redistributing via eigrp 100 Last update from 10.10.10.1 on GigabitEthernet0/0, 00:00:00 ago Routing Descriptor Blocks:
* 10.10.10.1, via GigabitEthernet0/0
Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1
Based on this output, which statement is true?
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 route is a connected route, as indicated by distance 0.
The route is directly connected, as indicated by 'known via connected' and distance 0. The administrative distance of 0 is the default for connected routes.
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 route is a static route with distance 0.
Why it's wrong here
Static routes have a default distance of 1, not 0. Distance 0 is for connected routes.
- ✓
The route is a connected route, as indicated by distance 0.
Why this is correct
Connected routes have an administrative distance of 0, confirming this is a directly connected network.
- ✗
The route is redistributed from EIGRP into connected.
Why it's wrong here
Redistribution does not change the route type to connected. The route is directly connected.
- ✗
The administrative distance of 0 indicates a floating static route.
Why it's wrong here
Floating static routes have a higher distance, typically greater than the dynamic protocol, not 0.
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.
