Question 720
A campus advertises overlapping VLAN subnet ranges across two sites, generating unpredictable routing to both. Which ongoing operational safeguard best reduces the chance of recurrence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is a continuing control for the failure mode in which duplicate destination prefixes prevent unambiguous routed reachability between sites. It complements the immediate fix instead of relying on a one-off correction.
Incorrect Answers
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when a WAN cutover leaves a static route pointing to an old gateway while the current routing protocol advertises a new next hop. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when an OSPF router has a healthy adjacency but a destination prefix is missing after someone configured a restrictive inbound route filter. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when an ACL allows a remote application subnet, yet a client cannot access it because the SVI has no route to that destination. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
