Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the characteristics from the left onto the protocols they apply to on the right. Answer:

The correct answer is can automatically summarize networks at the boundary; supports virtual links; requires manual configuration of network summarization. The correct arrangement maps routing protocol characteristics to their respective protocols: EIGRP can automatically summarize networks at classful boundaries (auto-summary feature), OSPF supports virtual links to connect discontiguous areas back to Area 0, and BGP requires manua

Correct arrangement

  • can automatically summarize networks at the boundary
  • supports virtual links
  • requires manual configuration of network summarization

Explanation

The correct arrangement maps routing protocol characteristics to their respective protocols: EIGRP can automatically summarize networks at classful boundaries (auto-summary feature), OSPF supports virtual links to connect discontiguous areas back to Area 0, and BGP requires manual configuration of network summarization since it does not perform automatic summarization. These are fundamental behavioral differences that distinguish these three major routing protocols used in enterprise and service provider environments.
