Cisco Exam 300-510 Topic 13 Question 92 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-510 exam

Question #: 92
Topic #: 13

Refer to the exhibit.

IS-IS is the routing protocol on the network. After the team noticed excessive CPU usage on all routers, particularly routers R2 and R6, they configured route summarization on all routers. However, a network engineer noticed that summary routes and more specific routes are present in the routing table on R1. Which action must the team take so that R1 receives only the summary routes?

AConfigure R2 and R4 to perform summarization for Level 1 routers.

BConfigure R3 to perform summarization for Level 1 routers, and configure R6 to perform summarization for Level 2 routers.

CConfigure R3 and R5 to perform summarization for Level 1 and Level 2 routers.

DConfigure R6 only to perform summarization for all routers.

I believe configuring R6 only for all routers would be the best option.

I'm leaning towards option C. Configuring R3 and R5 to handle the summarization for both levels seems like the most comprehensive solution. Plus, it's always good to have a backup plan, just in case.

Good point. It's always important to consider redundancy in network configurations.

That's true, but having redundancy with multiple routers handling the summarization can provide a backup in case one router fails.

But wouldn't it be better to have a single router handle the summarization for all routers? Option D seems like a simpler solution.

I think option C is a good choice too. Having multiple routers handle the summarization can help distribute the load.

Ah, the joys of routing protocols and excessive CPU usage. I bet the team wishes they could just unplug everything and call it a day. But alas, the show must go on!

I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't it be better to configure the Level 1 and Level 2 routers separately? I think option B might be the safest bet here.

Agreed. Option B seems like the safest bet to ensure R1 receives only the summary routes.

That makes sense. We can also configure R6 to perform summarization for Level 2 routers.

I think we should configure R3 to perform summarization for Level 1 routers.

That could work too, but I think option B provides a more organized approach.

But wouldn't it be simpler to just configure R6 to perform summarization for all routers?

I agree, separating Level 1 and Level 2 routers for summarization sounds like a good idea.

Option D seems like the way to go. Configuring R6 to perform summarization for all routers should do the trick and keep R1's routing table nice and tidy.
