Question 491

In which two ways does the routing protocol OSPF differ from EIGRP? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: B, D

    OSPF supports only equal-cost load balancing, while EIGRP supports both equal and unequal-cost load balancing. Additionally, OSPF supports an unlimited number of hops, whereas EIGRP supports a maximum of 255 hops.

B and D. EIGRP has faster convergence time than OSPF because EIGRP has a backup route (feasible successor) readily available. OSPF would have to first signal with LSAs, then run SPF calculation, then update the RIB and the FIB.

Its so obvious A is not the answer. Cisco has to FLEX their pelvic once in a while

B and D

B and D are the correct ones

B and Da are correct answers!!

B and D are correct

EIGRP has a default maximum hop count limit of 100, which can be configured up to a maximum of 255. A is incorrect because EIGRP can provide a shorter convergence time with minimal network traffic. https://notes.networklessons.com/eigrp-hop-count#:~:text=EIGRP%20has%20a%20default%20maximum,maintain%20network%20stability%20and%20manageability. https://community.fs.com/article/eigrp-vs-ospf-differences.html#:~:text=EIGRP%20can%20provide%20a%20shorter%20convergence%20time%20with%20minimal%20network%20traffic .................

The answers is correct.

HaidaryOptions: BD

B&D are correct answers.

net_eng10021Options: BD

Seems that eigrp would provide faster convergence so A would be incorrect.

imbhebhiOptions: BD

I also think it's B&D

Rose66Options: BD

definitly BD

dancottOptions: BD

Defo not A as OSPF sorts out the new route after it is already down

bora4motionOptions: BD

BD, and in theory EIGRP should be faster than OSPF as per Cisco.

There is one ponit about D Hop count is 2 This is not used in metric calculations, but does limit the maximum size of an EIGRP AS. The maximum number of hops that EIGRP accepts is 100 by default, although the maximum can be configured to 220 with metric maximum hops. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/enhanced-interior-gateway-routing-protocol-eigrp/16406-eigrp-toc.html
