Question 240
At the Northport logistics site, an alternate EIGRP route is feasible but has a higher metric and is not installed alongside the primary path as desired. Which underlying technical condition best accounts for this evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The evidence at the Northport logistics site supports this condition: Default EIGRP forwarding does not use the desired unequal-cost feasible alternate without appropriate variance. The associated fix is: Configure EIGRP variance within the feasible-path and feasible-distance limitations for unequal-cost load balancing.
Incorrect Answers
This diagnoses a different mechanism: The alternate path fails the strict EIGRP feasibility condition because 130 is not below 100. The reported symptom at the Northport logistics site instead concerns eigrp variance traffic sharing.
That diagnosis belongs to eigrp query scope using stub, while the observation at the Northport logistics site points to eigrp variance traffic sharing.
This diagnoses a different mechanism: Passive-interface suppresses routing-neighbor discovery where an EIGRP adjacency is required. The reported symptom at the Northport logistics site instead concerns eigrp variance traffic sharing.
