Question 40
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 operational change most directly addresses the fault described?
Explanation
Correct Answer
At the Northport logistics site, the evidence points to a concrete mechanism rather than a generic outage. Default EIGRP forwarding does not use the desired unequal-cost feasible alternate without appropriate variance. Configure EIGRP variance within the feasible-path and feasible-distance limitations for unequal-cost load balancing. Confirm it by checking that the routing table installs the permitted unequal-cost feasible paths with expected ratios.
Incorrect Answers
That change targets eigrp feasible successor inequality, not the reported eigrp variance traffic sharing fault at the Northport logistics site. Default EIGRP forwarding does not use the desired unequal-cost feasible alternate without appropriate variance.
This is appropriate for a different routing or network-control issue: Passive-interface suppresses routing-neighbor discovery where an EIGRP adjacency is required. The stated evidence at the Northport logistics site instead concerns eigrp variance traffic sharing.
This could help where eigrp delay in composite metric is the issue, but not for the evidence reported at the Northport logistics site. Default EIGRP forwarding does not use the desired unequal-cost feasible alternate without appropriate variance.
