CCNP Quiz: Do you actually understand EIGRP Feasible Successors?

Testing the feasibility condition without overcomplicating the math. Drop your answer in the comments before the timer runs out!

The question

To become an EIGRP Feasible Successor, what must a neighbor's Reported Distance be?
  • ALess than your Feasible Distancecorrect
  • BLess than or equal to your FD
  • CLower than their own Feasible Distance

The answer

A Less than your Feasible Distance

If their reported distance is strictly less than your best path, there's zero chance of a loop. Watch out: 'equal to' does not cut it on Cisco exams. Follow for tomorrow's rep.

Exam tip

Read what the question is actually asking before looking at the options. The wrong answers here are ones candidates genuinely pick — each is true of something adjacent, just not of what was asked.
