350-401 Practice Question: Which two statements about EIGRP stub routing are…
Which two statements about EIGRP stub routing are true? (Choose two.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
A stub router advertises only connected and summary routes by default.
EIGRP stub routing limits the routes a stub router advertises, preventing it from being used as a transit router. Common stub types include connected, static, summary, and receive-only.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
A stub router advertises only connected and summary routes by default.
Why this is correct
Correct because the default stub setting (without keywords) advertises connected and summary routes.
- ✗
A stub router can still be used as a transit router for other EIGRP neighbors.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because stub routers are not used as transit routers; they only advertise specific routes and do not forward traffic for other networks.
- ✗
The 'eigrp stub' command is configured on the hub router in a hub-and-spoke topology.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because the 'eigrp stub' command is configured on the spoke (leaf) routers, not the hub.
- ✓
EIGRP stub routing reduces query scoping and improves convergence.
Why this is correct
Correct because stub routers do not propagate queries, limiting the query domain and speeding up convergence.
- ✗
A stub router can be configured with the 'receive-only' keyword to advertise all its routes.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because 'receive-only' prevents the stub router from advertising any routes; it only receives routes.
Quick reference
Routing Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Metric | Max Hops | Algorithm | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RIP v2 | Hop count | 15 | Bellman-Ford | Distance vector |
| OSPF | Cost (bandwidth) | Unlimited | Dijkstra (SPF) | Link state |
| EIGRP | Composite metric | Unlimited | DUAL | Hybrid |
| IS-IS | Cost | Unlimited | Dijkstra | Link state |
| BGP | Policy / attributes | Unlimited | Path vector | Path vector |
RIP's 15-hop limit makes it unsuitable for large networks. OSPF and EIGRP dominate modern enterprise deployments.
