B.

C.

D.

Show Answer
Correct Answer:

To resolve the issue of ISPs still receiving specific routes along with summary routes, the aggregate-address command must include the 'summary-only' option. This ensures that only the summarized route is advertised, preventing the advertisement of individual specific routes. The configuration should be as follows: 'router bgp 64511 aggregate-address 172.16.20.0 255.255.252.0 summary-only'. Therefore, option A is correct because it uses 'aggregate-address' with 'summary-only' to ensure only summarized routes are sent.

A is the correct answer but let me clarify this: aggregate address is similar to route summary addresses like a router prefers to receive a single route instead of too many. notice here 172.16.20.0 255.255.252.0 covers from 172.16.21.0 to 172.16.23.0 so aggregate-add 172.16.20.0 255.255.252.0 summary only will force these addresses to send only summary to AS 100 and 200 to fulfill the request

The aggregate-address command causes a router to send a summary route AND still also send the normal individual routes - unless you add "summary-only." So A is correct.

Set this up to verify. Answer 'A' does indeed summarize on ISP-1 and 2.
