What is the effect of this configuration?
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
✓
Only EIGRP routes in the 192.168.0.0/16 range are redistributed into OSPF as type-1 external routes.
The ACL 10 permits only routes with source IP in the 192.168.0.0/16 range. The route-map OSPF-REDIST matches this ACL and sets the metric type to type-1. Only EIGRP routes that match the ACL (i.e., have a network starting with 192.168.x.x) are redistributed into OSPF as type-1 external routes. Routes not matching the ACL are denied because the route-map has only one permit sequence and the ACL ends with deny any.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
All EIGRP routes are redistributed into OSPF as type-1 external routes.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The ACL filters only 192.168.0.0/16; other routes are denied.
- ✓
Only EIGRP routes in the 192.168.0.0/16 range are redistributed into OSPF as type-1 external routes.
Why this is correct
Correct. The ACL permits 192.168.0.0/16; the route-map sets metric-type type-1 for matching routes.
- ✗
EIGRP routes in 192.168.0.0/16 are redistributed as type-2 by default; the set metric-type is ignored.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The set metric-type command is applied when the route-map is used; it overrides the default type-2.
- ✗
The configuration is invalid because the route-map uses an ACL that ends with deny any; a prefix-list must be used instead.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. ACLs can be used in route-maps; the deny any at the end is standard and works as expected.

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.
