352-001 · Question #169

Which three techniques can be used to improve fault isolation in an enterprise network design? (Choose three.)

The correct answer is A. aggregate routing information on an OSPF ABR D. EIGRP query boundaries E. multiple IS-IS flooding domains. Fault isolation in enterprise routing is achieved by bounding the scope of topology change propagation using route summarization, protocol-specific query or flooding limits, and routing domain segmentation.

Why each option

Fault isolation in enterprise routing is achieved by bounding the scope of topology change propagation using route summarization, protocol-specific query or flooding limits, and routing domain segmentation.

Aaggregate routing information on an OSPF ABRCorrect

An OSPF Area Border Router summarizes LSA information between areas, so a topology change inside one area generates a summary prefix change rather than flooding detailed LSAs network-wide, confining the fault's impact to the originating area.

Bfully meshed distribution layer

A fully meshed distribution layer provides redundancy and fast failover but does not bound the scope of routing protocol updates or topology change notifications.

CEqual-Cost Multipath routing

Equal-Cost Multipath routing provides load balancing and path redundancy but does not limit how far routing protocol topology changes propagate through the network.

DEIGRP query boundariesCorrect

EIGRP queries propagate outward until a feasible successor or a stub boundary is reached; configuring EIGRP stub routers or using route summarization at distribution boundaries limits how far queries travel, preventing a single failure from triggering a network-wide query storm.

Emultiple IS-IS flooding domainsCorrect

IS-IS Level 1 and Level 2 routing creates separate flooding domains; LSPs generated by a topology change within one Level 1 area are not flooded into other areas, so the fault's impact is contained to the local flooding domain.

Ftuned Spanning Tree Protocol timers

Tuned STP timers affect how quickly spanning tree converges after a topology change but do not isolate the fault from the rest of the Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.
