R2 has 5 loopback interfaces but instead of advertising all these interfaces we can only
advertise its summarized subnet. In this case the best summarized subnet should be
1.1.1.0/29 which includes all these 5 loopback interfaces.
R2(config)#interface fa0/0
R2(config-if)#ip summary-address eigrp 1 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.248
This configuration causes EIGRP to summarize network 1.1.1.0 and sends out Fa0/0
interface
After configuring manual EIGRP summary, the routing table of the local router will have
a route to Null0:
So why is this route inserted in the routing table when doing summarization? Well, you
may notice that although our summarized subnet is 1.1.1.0/29 but we dont have all IP
addresses in this subnet. Assignable IP addresses of subnet 1.1.1.0/29 are from 1.1.1.1
to 1.1.1.6. Imagine what happens if R1 sends a packet to 1.1.1.6. Because R1 do believe
R2 is connected with this IP so it will send this packet to R2. But R2 does not have this IP
The command eigrp stub turns R1 into a stub router so R2 will never send any query
to R1 because R2 knows that a stub router will only route packets for networks it has
explicitly advertised -> A is correct.
The command eigrp stub is same as eigrp stub connected summary command
because connected and summarized routes are advertised by default -> D is correct.
Note: Because the network 192.168.50.0 is not advertised by network statement, it is
necessary to redistribute connected route with the redistribute connected command.
