A routing table contains static, RIP, and EIGRP routes for the
same destination network. Which route would normally be used
to forward data?

Answer Posted / rick

Forwarding decision will always first depend upon Longest Prefix Match Rule.
If you have have a routing table as follows:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ S 192.168.0.0/16 [1/0] via fast Ethernet 0/0 +
+ D 192.168.1.0/24 [90/*] via fast Ethernet 0/0 +
+ O 192.168.1.1/32 [110/*] via fast Ethernet 0/0 +
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

And now if you ping 192.168.1.1, then according to longest prefix match rule it will take path via OSPF learned route.

If this path goes down, again longest prefix match rule come in action, and the path learned via EIGRP will be used.
