by default the administrative distance is one (1), but you can give it an optional value. The metric is zero (0).

Which two statements correctly describe the concepts of administrative distance and metric?

Administrative distance is a way to prioritize routing information from different routing protocols; a lower administrative distance is preferred. The metric, on the other hand, is a value that represents the cost of a particular route, aiding in selecting the best path to a destination.


Why does the route to 172.17.0.0 have a metric of 1 and the route to 172.18.0.0 have a metric of 2?

They are the number of hops needed to get to the desired network. The way the network is set up, 172.17.0.0 is 1 hop away from the device that issued the DEBUG IP RIP command. and 172.18.0.0 is 2 hops.


What is the shortest distance around the world?

If you mean by the words "direct route" the shortest distance between two places, distances between two places are shortest at the equator, because of the shape of the planet. If you mean which direction should be traveled to minimize distance, the route taken should be as straight a line as possible.


What is the metric that OSPF uses?

OSPF uses the path cost metric to determine the best route to a destination network. The path cost is based on the bandwidth of the link. Lower path costs indicate faster or more desirable paths.


How would you remove either of these routes from the configuration?

To remove a route from the configuration, you can use the 'no' command followed by the route information in the router configuration mode. For example, to remove a static route '192.168.1.0' with subnet mask '255.255.255.0' pointing to next-hop '10.0.0.1', you would use the command 'no ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.1'. Make sure to save your configuration afterwards.

How can you know how many computers are path your network?

The route via Path B is installed because the EIGRP route has the best metric to network 10.2.0.0/16. The route via Path A is installed because the static route has the best metric to network 10.2.0.0/16. The route via Path B is installed because the EIGRP route has the lowest administrative distance to network 10.2.0.0/16. The route via Path A is installed because the static route has the lowest administrative distance to network 10.2.0.0/16.


What is the administrative distance of a default route?

The administrative distance of a default route is typically 1. This means that it is considered the most reliable and preferred route for forwarding traffic when no other more specific route is available in the routing table.

Wich two statements correctly describe the concepts of administrative distance and metric?

Administrative distance refers to the trustworthiness of a particular route. Routes with the smallest metric to a destination indicate the best path.


A static route that points to the next hop IP will have what administrative distance and metric in the routing table?

For a hop to another network that is close, if you want it to be a preferred route the cost metric must be a low number. Depending on which protocol you use for routing, this number should be lower than other numbers as alternate routes.


A router has learned about a network through static and dynamic routing processes Which route will be used to reach network 192.168.168.0?

This is where administrative distance comes into play. The lowest one gets used in the routing table. A static route always has a lower AD than dynamic routing processes. So the static route will be used.


What is the method a router uses to rank the reliability of routing information?

A Admin can set the Administrative Distance (AD) on a static route to tell the router how reliable the route is. Dynamic routing protocols use metrics to determine route reliability.


Which command will show the administrative distance of routes?

The "show ip route" command in Cisco devices will display the administrative distance of routes along with other routing information.


Why is the show ip route command important for troubleshooting commands?

Compared to RIP, EIGRP has a lower administrative distance. Compared to EIGRP, RIP has a higher metric value for the route. Compared to RIP, the EIGRP route has fewer hops. Compared to RIP, EIGRP has a faster update timer.


Show ip route command?

Compared to RIP, EIGRP has a lower administrative distance.


What are the three pieces of information about a route are contained in a routing table?

The network as an IP address; the corresponding subnet mask (often shown in shortcut notation, e.g., /24), the next-hop address; the interface through which data must be sent to that network; how it was learned (directly connected, static configuration, or some routing protocol); the administrative distance; the cost or metric.
