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

  • A. OSPF provides shorter convergence time than EIGRP.
  • B. OSPF supports only equal-cost load balancing EIGRP supports unequal-cost load balancing.
  • C. OSPF is distance vector protocol. EIGRP is a link-state protocol.
  • D. OSPF supports an unlimited number of hops EIGRP supports a maximum of 255 hops.
  • E. OSPF supports unequal-cost load balancing EIGRP supports only equal-cost load balancing.

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.

Selected Answer: BD
EIGRP: Uses DUAL for fast convergence. Hybrid protocol with features of both link-state and distance-vector. Supports a maximum of 255 hops. Supports equal and unequal load balancing. OSPF: Link-state protocol. Does not use hop count; supports unlimited hops based on link cost. Supports only equal-cost load balancing.

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 .................

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

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
