Which statements are true about EIGRP successor routes? (Choose two.)
A.
A successor route is used by EIGRP to forward traffic to a destination.
B.
Successor routes are saved in the topology table to be used if the primary route fails.
C.
Successor routes are flagged as ‘active’ in the routing table.
D.
A successor route may be backed up by a feasible successor route.
E.
Successor routes are stored in the neighbor table following the discovery process.
B is not correct because neighbor table only contains a list of directly connected EIGRP routers that have an adjacency with this router, it doesn’t contain successor routes.
C is not correct because successor routes are not flagged as “active”, they are always the best route to reach remote networks and are always used to send packets.
A and D are correct because successor route is the best and primary route to a remote network. It is stored in the routing table and topology table. If this route fails, a backup route (called feasible successor route) in the topology table will be used to route traffic to a destination.

Successor – A successor route (think successful!) is the best route to a remote network. A successor route is used by EIGRP to forward traffic to a destination and is stored in the routing table. It is backed up by a feasible successor route that is stored in the topology table-if one is available.
