Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH, legacy) — Question 24

An engineer is designing a Layer 3-enabled access layer.
Which design recommendation must the engineer consider when deploying EIGRP routing within the access layer?

Answer options

• A. Configure all edge access layer switches to use a stub routing feature.
• B. Implement floating static routes on access switches for redundant links.
• C. Use the First Hop Redundancy Protocol on access layer switches.
• D. Enable multiple uplinks from each access switch stack to the distribution switches.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because enabling multiple uplinks increases redundancy and bandwidth between the access and distribution layers, which is essential for efficient routing with EIGRP. Options A, B, and C do not specifically address the need for redundancy and performance enhancements in the access layer design for EIGRP.
