Question 380
A preventive architecture review covers this situation: A regional aggregation campus redistributes the same prefixes between OSPF and EIGRP at two locations, risking feedback loops. Which preventive design control MOST DIRECTLY addresses this specific risk?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Maintain a centralized redistribution matrix and prevent untagged re-imports. This control targets the underlying design risk. Two-way redistribution can reintroduce routes into their source protocol without policy guards. The follow-up acceptance check remains: Test prefixes appear only in approved protocols with expected tags and no persistent route oscillation.
Incorrect Answers
VRFs maintain logically separate routing and forwarding contexts on capable shared devices. The repeat risk here is different: Two-way redistribution can reintroduce routes into their source protocol without policy guards. A directly relevant preventive control is: Maintain a centralized redistribution matrix and prevent untagged re-imports.
Route summarization reduces upstream route detail and contains changes within appropriate campus areas. The repeat risk here is different: Two-way redistribution can reintroduce routes into their source protocol without policy guards. A directly relevant preventive control is: Maintain a centralized redistribution matrix and prevent untagged re-imports.
A documented hierarchy can limit topology complexity while preserving critical backup paths. The repeat risk here is different: Two-way redistribution can reintroduce routes into their source protocol without policy guards. A directly relevant preventive control is: Maintain a centralized redistribution matrix and prevent untagged re-imports.
