EIGRP and OSPF - Technical MCQs

Q1:

Where are EIGRP successor routes stored?

A In the routing table only

B In the neighbor table only

C In the topology table only

D In the routing table and the topology table

E In the routing table and the neighbor table

ANS:D - In the routing table and the topology table

Successor routes are going to be in the routing table since they are the best path to a remote network. However, the topology table has a link to each and every network, so the best answer is topology table and routing table. Any secondary route to a remote network is considered a feasible successor, and those routes are only found in the topology table and used as backup routes in case of primary route failure.
