[All 4A0-112 Questions]

Refer to the exhibit.

In the IS-IS network shown, router R1 has been configured to summarize subnetworks 20.20.1.0/24 and 20.20.2.0/24 as 20.20.0.0/16. Which routers' routing tables will be reduced, compared to their routing tables before the summarization?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Router R1 is the one that performs the summarization of the two subnets (20.20.1.0/24 and 20.20.2.0/24) into the summarized route 20.20.0.0/16. However, R1 itself will not see any change in its routing table because it is directly connected to both subnets and already knows about them.

Router R2, which is in Area 49.0002, will benefit from this summarization because it previously had separate routes for both 20.20.1.0/24 and 20.20.2.0/24. After the summarization, R2 will only need to maintain a single route to 20.20.0.0/16, reducing the size of its routing table.

Router R4 does not directly benefit from the summarization because it is only connected to the Level 1 network and has no need for the summarized routes from R1. Thus, the summarization does not affect R4's routing table.

I'm going with C. Routing tables, reduced. Sounds like a job for the Routing Fairy!

I think C is the correct answer too. Summarization can definitely help reduce routing tables.

C, obviously. R1 is the one doing the summarization, so of course R1 and R2 will have their routing tables reduced. Wait, did I just say 'obviously'? That was a rookie mistake.

Agreed, C is the correct answer. R1 is the one summarizing, so R1 and R2 will have their routing tables reduced.

Definitely C. R1 is the one doing the summarization, so R1 and R2 will see a reduction in their routing tables.

Yeah, that makes sense. R1 is the one performing the summarization, so R1 and R2 will benefit from reduced routing tables.

I think it's C too. R1 is the one doing the summarization, so R1 and R2 will have reduced routing tables.

But wouldn't only router R1 have a reduced routing table since it's the one doing the summarization?

I agree with Arthur, because the subnetworks are being summarized by R1.

This is a tricky one! I'd go with C, but I can see how someone might think R2 or R4 could be affected too. Good question!

Hmm, I'm not sure. I think it might be B since R2 is directly connected to the summarized subnets.

The answer is clearly C. Routers R1 and R2 will have their routing tables reduced since the summarization is happening on R1, which is connected to both R2 and R4.
