Question 234

Refer to the exhibit. R1 and R2 are configured for EIGRP peering using authentication and the neighbors failed to come up. Which action resolves the issue?

    Correct Answer: A

    The issue is that EIGRP neighbors fail to come up due to a mismatch in key-chain attributes. In this configuration, both routers have different lowest key IDs set for their key-chains, which causes a failure in the EIGRP authentication process. EIGRP uses the first valid key it encounters during authentication, and if the lowest key ID does not match on both routers, the authentication fails. Therefore, configuring a matching lowest key ID on both routers resolves the issue.

Discussion
HungarianDishOption: A

For me it's "A". The lowest key ID needs to match, because EIGRP checks against the FIRST valid key.

HamzaBadarOption: A

Test with GNS3. Answer is A.

MalasxdOption: C

The EIGRP try to use the key-id in the order they were configured. In this exemplo they will never match and there is no way to chance the order EIGRP process the keys. C seeems more correct for me.
