Question 120
A campus advertises overlapping VLAN subnet ranges across two sites, generating unpredictable routing to both. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The underlying issue is that duplicate destination prefixes prevent unambiguous routed reachability between sites. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: each site has unique routes, and permitted inter-site flows reach the intended endpoints.
Incorrect Answers
This is suited to a different condition, such as when a distribution switch cannot reach an application subnet because its static route references an incorrect next-hop IP. The reported fault instead arises because duplicate destination prefixes prevent unambiguous routed reachability between sites.
This is suited to a different condition, such as when a campus core has a default route toward a failed WAN link, while the healthy standby WAN is not preferred. The reported fault instead arises because duplicate destination prefixes prevent unambiguous routed reachability between sites.
This is suited to a different condition, such as when a campus routes guest and employee traffic in separate VRFs but a technician adds a guest static route only to the employee VRF. The reported fault instead arises because duplicate destination prefixes prevent unambiguous routed reachability between sites.
