At which two networks points is route summarization supported? (Choose two)
The correct answer is B. At EIGRP interface boundaries E. At OSPF area boundaries. Route summarization in EIGRP is applied at the interface level using the ip summary-address command, while in OSPF it is applied at area boundaries on ABRs and ASBRs.

Why each option
Route summarization in EIGRP is applied at the interface level using the ip summary-address command, while in OSPF it is applied at area boundaries on ABRs and ASBRs.
EIGRP does not use the concept of AS boundaries for summarization in the same way BGP does - summarization is configured per-interface, not at AS boundary points.
EIGRP supports manual summarization applied per-interface using the 'ip summary-address eigrp' command, allowing summarization at any point in the topology regardless of AS boundaries.
OSPF virtual links are used to extend the backbone area through a non-backbone area and do not support or act as summarization boundaries.
EIGRP does not have areas like OSPF, so 'EIGRP area boundaries' is not a valid concept in EIGRP routing.
OSPF summarization is performed at Area Border Routers (ABRs) using the 'area range' command and at AS Boundary Routers (ASBRs) using 'summary-address', making area boundaries the correct summarization points.
EIGRP stub routing reduces query propagation but is not a route summarization boundary - stub routers advertise only their directly connected and summary routes.
