Question 290
At an enterprise WAN hub in Singapore, a post-change check targets this documented issue: An EIGRP peer repeatedly expires its hold time on a congested link with dropped control traffic. Which observation is the strongest evidence that the repair worked?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for eigrp neighbor churn. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Check queue loss, hello/hold behavior and control-plane filtering before increasing timers blindly', actually resolved the reported issue at an enterprise WAN hub in Singapore. The original failure was: An EIGRP peer repeatedly expires its hold time on a congested link with dropped control traffic.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies eigrp k-value disagreement in a different situation, such as when eIGRP hello packets arrive but routers refuse adjacency because composite-metric K values do not agree. For the reported eigrp neighbor churn incident at an enterprise WAN hub in Singapore, the required acceptance evidence is: Neighbor uptime remains stable and control-plane drops no longer coincide with hold expiry. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies eigrp stub leaf in a different situation, such as when a remote branch does not transit traffic yet its router receives network-wide EIGRP query requests for unrelated destinations. For the reported eigrp neighbor churn incident at an enterprise WAN hub in Singapore, the required acceptance evidence is: Neighbor uptime remains stable and control-plane drops no longer coincide with hold expiry. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies eigrp named mode af-interface in a different situation, such as when a named EIGRP configuration has the correct AS but an interface is not participating in its address family. For the reported eigrp neighbor churn incident at an enterprise WAN hub in Singapore, the required acceptance evidence is: Neighbor uptime remains stable and control-plane drops no longer coincide with hold expiry. This other result does not test that condition directly.
