300-410 Practice Question: Which TWO commands would a network engineer use…
Which TWO commands would a network engineer use to verify the results of route redistribution from OSPF into EIGRP? (Choose TWO.)
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
✓
show ip route eigrp
To verify redistribution, you can check the routing table to see if redistributed routes appear, and you can check the EIGRP topology table to see if they are learned via redistribution. Option A is correct because 'show ip route eigrp' displays EIGRP routes, including redistributed ones. Option D is correct because 'show ip eigrp topology' shows all EIGRP routes and their sources. Option B is incorrect because 'show ip ospf database' shows OSPF LSAs, not redistributed routes. Option C is incorrect because 'show ip protocols' shows routing protocol parameters but not specific redistributed routes. Option E is incorrect because 'show ip eigrp traffic' shows packet statistics, not route information.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
show ip route eigrp
Why this is correct
Correct: This shows EIGRP routes in the routing table, including redistributed routes.
- ✗
show ip ospf database
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: This shows OSPF LSAs, not redistributed routes in EIGRP.
- ✗
show ip protocols
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: This shows protocol timers and filters, not specific redistributed routes.
- ✓
show ip eigrp topology
Why this is correct
Correct: This shows all EIGRP routes, including those learned via redistribution.
- ✗
show ip eigrp traffic
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: This shows packet statistics, not route information.

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.

Key term
Route Redistribution Between Protocols
Route redistribution between protocols is the process of taking routes learned from one routing protocol and injecting them into another routing protocol so that networks using different protocols can communicate.
