Which path is preferred if OSPF and EIGRP have dynamically discovered a remote network?
The Cisco IOS gives administrative distance first priority given. EIGRP AD is 90 and OSPF is 110. The lower AD is more trustworthy, so the Cisco IOS chooses EIGRP. You can change the default AD values by using the IOS distance command. • What common methods are used to control routing updates and filtering? The main methods are passive interfaces, distribution lists, and route maps. • What is the metric used by OSPF, and is the lower or higher metric the chosen path? OSPF’s metric is cost (ranging from 1 to 65535). The lower cost is always preferred to a remote destination. • Is a static route always preferred over a directly connected route? No, directly connected interfaces have an AD of 0, compared to 1 for static routes. Lower ADs are always preferred. • Which command stops updates from being sent out of any interface? passive-interface interface stops updates from being sent, although, updates are still received and processed. • Which parameter does the Cisco IOS always compare be
