Explanation: The output of the show ip protocols command displays the metric weights as K1=1, K2=0, K3=1, K4=0, K5=0. In EIGRP, these K-values are coefficients used in the composite metric formula where K1 represents bandwidth and K3 represents delay. Because only K1 and K3 are set to 1 while the other weights are 0, EIGRP uses only the bandwidth and delay values to calculate the total metric and select the best path (successor) for the routing table. Metrics such as load (K2), reliability (K4), and MTU (K5) are excluded from the calculation in this configuration.
