Question 270
For regional route exchange at a retail network core in Chicago, a maintenance test revisits the fault: OSPF routes do not appear in EIGRP after redistribution because no usable seed metric was assigned. Which result validates the intended fix most directly?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for eigrp seed metric on redistribution. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Configure an explicit EIGRP redistribution metric or suitable default metric with bandwidth, delay, reliability, load and MTU values', actually resolved the reported issue at a retail network core in Chicago. The original failure was: OSPF routes do not appear in EIGRP after redistribution because no usable seed metric was assigned.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies redistribution route-map omission in a different situation, such as when a router leaks sensitive static prefixes into OSPF because redistribute static has no route policy. For the reported eigrp seed metric on redistribution incident at a retail network core in Chicago, the required acceptance evidence is: External EIGRP routes are installed with plausible composite metrics after the injection. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies mutual redistribution metric integrity in a different situation, such as when bGP-origin routes entering EIGRP are given arbitrary seed metrics that make a slow backup path appear better than intended. For the reported eigrp seed metric on redistribution incident at a retail network core in Chicago, the required acceptance evidence is: External EIGRP routes are installed with plausible composite metrics after the injection. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies ospf external subnets redistribution in a different situation, such as when a redistribution statement is intended to carry multiple classless subnets into OSPF but only classful behavior is observed in the configured IOS context. For the reported eigrp seed metric on redistribution incident at a retail network core in Chicago, the required acceptance evidence is: External EIGRP routes are installed with plausible composite metrics after the injection. This other result does not test that condition directly.
