TestKing uses EIGRP as the routing protocol. Based on the info shown above, what path will packets take from a host on the 192.168.10.192/26 network to a host on the LAN attached to routerTESTKING1?

The TestKing network is shown in the following exhibit:

A. The path of the packets will be TESTKING3 to TESTKING2 to TESTKING1
B. The path of the packets will be TESTKING3 to TESTKING1 to TESTKING2
C. The path of the packets will be both TESTKING3 to TESTKING2 to TESTKING1
AND TESTKING3 to TESTKING1
D. The path of the packets will be TESTKING3 to TESTKING1
E. None of the above

Answer: D

Explanation:

Based on the routing table of TestKing3, the best path to the TestKing1 LAN is shown on
the first routing entry (192.168.10.64). TestKing 3 will use the Serial 0/0 interface to
route traffic to this destination, with the next hop IP address of 192.168.10.9, which is the
network used between TestKing3 and TestKing1, making choice D correct. Note that
there is only one routing entry for this destination. If traffic were load balancing over both
paths, then both would be displayed in the routing table.
