Question 1
The network operations group at a multinational data center in Frankfurt must resolve this issue affecting east-west routing: The topology table shows an alternate route whose reported distance exceeds the successor feasible distance, but an engineer calls it a guaranteed feasible successor. Which remediation should be prioritized?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This action directly corrects feasibility condition. The observed fault is: The topology table shows an alternate route whose reported distance exceeds the successor feasible distance, but an engineer calls it a guaranteed feasible successor. The specified remedy addresses that mechanism rather than a nearby networking feature. Confirmation requires: Only alternates satisfying RD less than FD qualify as feasible successors. The conclusion applies to the stated Cisco IOS/IOS XE scenario at a multinational data center in Frankfurt; syntax and capabilities remain platform dependent.
Incorrect Answers
That approach is relevant to eigrp variance unequal cost, such as when an EIGRP design wants to load share over qualified unequal-cost loop-free paths but only the single lowest-metric successor is installed. That is a different root cause from the feasibility condition fault observed at a multinational data center in Frankfurt. Applying that approach alone would not establish the required result: Only alternates satisfying RD less than FD qualify as feasible successors.
That approach is relevant to eigrp stub leaf, such as when a remote branch does not transit traffic yet its router receives network-wide EIGRP query requests for unrelated destinations. That is a different root cause from the feasibility condition fault observed at a multinational data center in Frankfurt. Applying that approach alone would not establish the required result: Only alternates satisfying RD less than FD qualify as feasible successors.
That approach is relevant to eigrp ipv6 address family, such as when iPv4 EIGRP is healthy but IPv6 routes are absent because the appropriate IPv6 routing address family was never activated. That is a different root cause from the feasibility condition fault observed at a multinational data center in Frankfurt. Applying that approach alone would not establish the required result: Only alternates satisfying RD less than FD qualify as feasible successors.
