How can EIGRP topologies be designed to converge as fast as possible in the event of a point-to- point link failure?

The correct answer is D. Limit the query domain b use of summarization. EIGRP convergence after a link failure is fastest when the query domain is limited, and route summarization is the most effective technique because it creates a hard query boundary.

Why each option

EIGRP convergence after a link failure is fastest when the query domain is limited, and route summarization is the most effective technique because it creates a hard query boundary.

ABuild neighbor adjacencies in a triangulated fashion

Triangulated adjacencies can increase the number of neighbors that receive queries, potentially expanding the query domain rather than constraining it.

BBuild neighbor adjacencies in a squared fashion

A squared adjacency pattern does not represent a recognized EIGRP design construct that limits query propagation or improves convergence speed.

CLimit the query domain by use of distribute lists

Distribute lists filter routing update advertisements but do not block EIGRP query messages from propagating, so they do not effectively bound the query domain.

DLimit the query domain b use of summarizationCorrect

When EIGRP summarization is configured at a boundary router, the summary prefix has its own topology table entry independent of its component routes. If a component route goes active and triggers a query, that query does not propagate beyond the summarizing router because downstream neighbors only know the aggregate summary, effectively stopping query scope expansion and enabling faster convergence.

ELimit the query domain by use of default routes

Injecting a default route does not create a query boundary; queries for specific prefixes still propagate through routers even when those routers also carry a default route.
