300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show…
A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:
R1# show ip eigrp neighbors
IP-EIGRP neighbors for process 100 H Address Interface Hold Uptime SRTT RTO Q Seq (sec) (ms) Cnt Num 0 192.168.1.2 Gi0/0 13 00:12:34 10 200 0 15 1 192.168.2.2 Gi0/1 10 00:10:22 12 200 0 22 2 10.10.10.2 Gi0/2 14 00:08:15 15 200 0 18
Based on this output, which statement is correct?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that a Q count of 0 means no routes are being exchanged, when in fact it simply indicates no packets are currently queued for transmission, which is normal for a stable EIGRP adjacency.
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
✓
All EIGRP neighbors are operating normally.
All neighbors show a Hold time above 10 seconds, SRTT values well below the default 200 ms threshold, RTO at the default 200 ms, and a Q count of 0. These values indicate stable adjacencies with no retransmissions or packet loss, which is normal EIGRP operation.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Neighbor 192.168.1.2 has a high SRTT indicating a slow link.
Why it's wrong here
SRTT of 10 ms is low, not high.
- ✓
All EIGRP neighbors are operating normally.
Why this is correct
All neighbors show normal hold timers, uptimes, and zero queued packets.
- ✗
Neighbor 10.10.10.2 is experiencing packet loss due to high RTO.
Why it's wrong here
RTO of 200 ms is standard for this SRTT.
- ✗
The Q count of 0 indicates that EIGRP is not exchanging routes.
Why it's wrong here
Q count of 0 means no packets are queued, which is normal.
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.
