What code is used in the routing table to identify routes learned through EIGRP?

D

What is the purpose of a routing protocol?

It allows a router to share information about known networks with other routers.

Which two statements describe characteristics of load balancing? (Choose two.)

Load balancing allows a router to forward packets over multiple paths to the same destination network. Unequal cost load balancing is supported by EIGRP.

Which two statements describe static routes? (Choose two.)

They require manual reconfiguration to accommodate network changes. They are identified in the routing table with the prefix S.
