Which two conditions must be met for EIGRP to maintain an alternate loop-free path to...

For EIGRP to maintain loop-free alternate paths, the feasibility condition must be met:

A. The Reported Distance (RD) must be lower than the router's Feasible Distance (FD).

E. A feasible successor must exist (i.e., an alternate next-hop satisfying the feasibility condition).

This design allows immediate failover without recomputation, ensuring fast convergence — a critical CCDE v3.1 protocol design principle.

Why other options are incorrect:

B, C, D: Misstate the feasibility condition or confuse RD and FD relationships.
