In EIGRP, what term denotes the total metric to reach a destination?

• A. Advertised Distance
• B. Route Metric
• C. Feasible Distance
• D. Path Cost

Answer: (C)

Feasible Distance is the total metric to reach a destination in EIGRP. It combines the cost to reach the next hop with the distance that the next hop advertises for the destination, giving you the complete distance from your router to the destination. The router picks the path with the smallest Feasible Distance, and uses this value to evaluate feasible successors as well. Advertised Distance is only what a neighbor reports for that destination, not the total distance from you. Path Cost isn’t the standard term for the total distance in this context.
