Topic #: 9

How does the EIGRP metric differ from the OSPF metric?

AThe EIGRP metric is calculated based on bandwidth only. The OSPF metric is calculated on delay only.

BThe EIGRP metric is calculated based on delay only. The OSPF metric is calculated on bandwidth and delay.

CThe EIGRP metric Is calculated based on bandwidth and delay. The OSPF metric is calculated on bandwidth only.

DThe EIGRP metric Is calculated based on hop count and bandwidth. The OSPF metric is calculated on bandwidth and delay.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

By default, EIGRP metric is calculated:

metric = bandwidth + delay

While OSPF is calculated by:

OSPF metric = Reference bandwidth / Interface bandwidth in bps

(Or Cisco uses 100Mbps (108) bandwidth as reference bandwidth. With this bandwidth, our equation would be:

Cost = 108/interface bandwidth in bps)
