300-320 Question #641: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is C. Different administrative authorities manage the network. The primary valid driver for using multiple EIGRP autonomous systems is when different administrative authorities manage separate portions of the network. Each organization or team maintains its own routing domain, and redistribution at the boundary connects them. Option A (limit

Question

Which of the following is a valid driver to consider a design with multiple EIGRP autonomous systems?

Options

ATo limit EIGRP query scope
BTo simplify the design
CDifferent administrative authorities manage the network
DTo achieve more optimal routing

Explanation

The primary valid driver for using multiple EIGRP autonomous systems is when different administrative authorities manage separate portions of the network. Each organization or team maintains its own routing domain, and redistribution at the boundary connects them. Option A (limiting query scope) is better addressed through route summarization or stub configuration within a single AS, not by splitting into multiple AS. Option B is incorrect because multiple AS actually increases design complexity. Option D is incorrect because multiple AS introduces redistribution overhead, which generally leads to suboptimal routing rather than improving it.
