Hey Omkar,

Is there an example of doing that multiple summary thing anywhere in the
documentation? If the answer to that question is "no," (and I don't presume
to know the answer - it's not being asked rhetorically), then I would
personally shy away from such an approach. If the answer is "yes," then
yes, I would look closely at task language and, assuming that didn't offer
the guidance I thought necessary, I would try to explain what I considered
to be the feasible options to the proctor and then listen very, very
carefully to the response given. If you still end up uncertain, then you
just pray hard that the grading script is looking in the routing tables for
the appropriate prefixes and not under your EIGRP/Interface configuration
for the presence of certain specific commands! ;-)

Regards,

Scott

Subject: Soup-to-Nuts EIGRP Summarization task

I the S to N workbook, for EIGRP summarization the task is to advertise a
summary route and SOME of the specific routes that are the part of the
summary to the neighbor. I advertised the summary route using the normal ip
summary-address eigrp xxx [summary-netowrk-address] [summary-mask] command
AND then I advertised the more specific routes as summary routes to the
neighbor. When I check the routing table of the neigbor I see my summary
route and also the more specific routes being learned from the neigbor
advertising the summary.
In the solution the summary-address is advertised using a leak-map +
route-map to identifiy the more specific routes of the summary.

In the lab scenario, if this requirement is presented then I automatically
would have thought about the straightforward option of advertising multiple
summary routes with the summary and more specific routes. I was not really
aware of the leak-map command.
How would we know if the lab is looking for a specific way to obtaining the
desired outcome? Ask the proctor, I guess or look for hints such as dont use
summary command more than once??

- Later,
Omkar
