A network administrator has two routers connected to the same two networks via two separate links. The administrator wants to utilize both links simultaneously to increase throughput. Which configuration will achieve this?

Increase the administrative distance on one link.

Use a routing protocol that only supports one path.

Configure both links with the same metric and enable load balancing.

Configure one link as a backup and the other as primary.

Which of the following routes would be preferred if both are available to the same destination?

An OSPF route with an AD of 110

An EIGRP route with an AD of 90

What is the purpose of load balancing in routing?

To reduce the number of routes in the routing table

To prioritize traffic based on QoS requirements

To distribute traffic across multiple paths to improve utilization and reliability

To ensure all packets take the same path
