Exam 200-301 Question id=5395 IP Connectivity

In the following partial output of the show ip route command, what does the letter D stand for?
D 192.1.2.0/24 via 5.1.1.71 [w:0 m:0] C 192.8.1.1/32 directly connected to loopback 0

A. This is a default route
B. This is an EIGRP route
C. This is static route
D. This is a directly connected route

The letter D indicates that it was a route learned by the EIGRP routing protocol. In the output of the show ip route command, each route will have a letter next to it that indicates the method by which the route was learned. At the beginning of the output will be a legend describing the letters as shown below:
Router# show ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2 i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2 ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route <Output omitted>
The letter does not indicate that it is a default route. The default route (if configured) will appear at the end of the legend as follows:

Gateway of last resort is 10.119.254.240 to network 10.140.0.0

The letter does not indicate that it is a static route. Static routes will have an "S" next to them.

The letter does not indicate that it is a directly connected route. Directly connected routes will have a "C" next to them.
