350-401 Practice Question: Which three statements about EIGRP named mode…
Which three statements about EIGRP named mode configuration are true? (Choose three.)
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
✓
Named mode uses the 'router eigrp <name>' command to enter configuration mode.
EIGRP named mode uses a hierarchical configuration under a single router process, supporting address families (IPv4, IPv6) and VRFs. It simplifies configuration and allows per-interface settings.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Named mode uses the 'router eigrp <name>' command to enter configuration mode.
Why this is correct
Correct because named mode starts with 'router eigrp <name>', where <name> is a case-sensitive tag.
- ✗
In named mode, the network statement is replaced by the 'af-interface' configuration under the address family.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because named mode still uses the 'network' command under the address family, though 'af-interface' is used for per-interface tuning.
- ✓
Named mode supports both IPv4 and IPv6 address families within the same EIGRP process.
Why this is correct
Correct because named mode allows multiple address families (IPv4, IPv6) under a single process.
- ✓
The 'address-family ipv4' command is used to enter IPv4 configuration under named mode.
Why this is correct
Correct because after 'router eigrp <name>', you use 'address-family ipv4' to configure IPv4 EIGRP.
- ✗
Named mode requires the 'no shutdown' command under the address family to enable EIGRP.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because named mode does not require 'no shutdown'; EIGRP is enabled by default when the address family is configured.
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.
