The correct answer is A. Configure EIGRP route summarization on all the interfaces to summarize the internal LAN routes D. Configure route leaking of summary routes on the link between London and Rome. Summarizing routes on all interfaces minimizes routing table entries, while route leaking on the London-Rome link allows specific routes to be advertised so that link is selectively utilized.

Question

Refer to the exhibit. This network is running EIGRP as the routing protocol and the internal networks are being advertised in EIGRP. Based on the link speeds, all traffic between London and Rome is getting propagated via Barcelona and the direct link between London and Rome is not being utilized under normal working circumstances. The EIGRP design should allow for efficiency in the routing table by minimizing the routes being exchanged. The link between London and Rome should be utilized for specific routes. Which two steps accomplish this task? (Choose two.)

Why each option

Summarizing routes on all interfaces minimizes routing table entries, while route leaking on the London-Rome link allows specific routes to be advertised so that link is selectively utilized.

AConfigure EIGRP route summarization on all the interfaces to summarize the internal LAN routesCorrect

Configuring EIGRP route summarization on all interfaces causes routers to advertise a single summary route instead of individual subnet entries, which minimizes the number of routes exchanged throughout the EIGRP domain and reduces routing table size on all routers.

BFilter the routes on the link between London and Barcelona

Filtering routes on the London-Barcelona link would disrupt the primary high-speed traffic path between those sites and could cause connectivity issues, which contradicts the design goal.

CFilter the routes on the link between London and Rome

Filtering routes on the London-Rome link would suppress route advertisements over that link entirely, preventing its use rather than enabling the selective utilization the design requires.

DConfigure route leaking of summary routes on the link between London and RomeCorrect

Configuring route leaking of specific summary routes on the London-Rome link allows targeted prefixes to be advertised over that direct path, overriding the summarization suppression and giving London a more specific route to certain Rome networks via the direct link, thus enabling selective utilization of that otherwise idle connection.
