What interface configuration command is used after the EIGRP configuration to end the session?

  1. exit

  2. end

  3. quit

  4. finish

The correct answer is: end

The command that is used to end the session after configuring EIGRP is "end." This command is utilized in Cisco IOS to exit to the privileged EXEC mode from the global configuration mode. When you finish configuring an interface or a routing protocol like EIGRP, you can type "end" to conclude the configuration session gracefully. This ensures that all your configurations are saved to the running configuration before you exit. While other commands may seem similar, they serve different purposes. For instance, "exit" is used to step out of a specific configuration mode hierarchically but may not take you out of global configuration mode directly. "Quit" and "finish" are not standard commands recognized in Cisco IOS for this context. Hence, "end" is the appropriate command to conclude the EIGRP configuration session and return to privileged EXEC mode.
