Module 5
EIGRP and the Feasible Successor
A protocol that keeps a spare route verified in advance, and the one condition a spare must satisfy before it is allowed to be used.
5 activities~90 min
In this module
- Distinguish reported distance from feasible distance
- State the feasibility condition and explain what it prevents
- Explain what variance means, while separating theory from the lab's unverified effect
