352-001 · Question #664

You work for a large enterprise network that spans many remote locations and uses EIGRP as its only routing protocol. Recently, the network grew too rapidly and it is having a lot of SIA problems…

The correct answer is D. Implement route summarization. E. Implement EIGRP Stub on remote locations. EIGRP SIA problems stem from excessive query propagation across the network; route summarization limits query scope and EIGRP Stub prevents remote sites from being queried entirely.

Layer 3 Control Plane

Question

You work for a large enterprise network that spans many remote locations and uses EIGRP as its only routing protocol. Recently, the network grew too rapidly and it is having a lot of SIA problems, which impact the company business. In which two ways should you redesign the network to solve this problem? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AEliminate the use of secondary networks.
  • BImplement EIGRP Wide Metrics
  • CEliminate duplicate router IDs.
  • DImplement route summarization.
  • EImplement EIGRP Stub on remote locations.

Why each option

EIGRP SIA problems stem from excessive query propagation across the network; route summarization limits query scope and EIGRP Stub prevents remote sites from being queried entirely.

AEliminate the use of secondary networks.

Secondary networks do not cause or contribute to SIA problems; SIA is driven by excessive query propagation and slow reply times, which are unrelated to secondary IP address configuration.

BImplement EIGRP Wide Metrics

EIGRP Wide Metrics increases metric granularity for interfaces above 1 Gbps to avoid metric saturation, but it does not affect the query-reply process or address SIA conditions.

CEliminate duplicate router IDs.

Duplicate router IDs cause LSA conflicts in OSPF; in EIGRP, router IDs are used only for loop prevention in external routes and have no bearing on SIA behavior.

DImplement route summarization.Correct

Route summarization creates query boundaries in EIGRP - when a specific route goes active, queries are contained within the summarization boundary and cannot flood the entire network, directly reducing the chance of a query timing out and causing an SIA condition.

EImplement EIGRP Stub on remote locations.Correct

EIGRP Stub routing marks remote routers so that hub routers never send them queries; stub routers only advertise connected and summary routes back, eliminating them as participants in the query process and preventing SIA at remote sites.
