An engineer must configure EIGRP to ensure that all WAN routes are not advertised to the routers in a data center. Which action must be taken?
The action is to configure the EIGRP stub router in receive-only mode. Cisco EIGRP stub routing limits which routes a router advertises to neighbors, reducing query scope and improving stability in hub-and-spoke or WAN designs. The receive-only keyword is the most restrictive stub option: the router receives routes from neighbors but does not advertise any routes to them. That directly satisfies the requirement that WAN routes must not be advertised to the routers in the data center. Advertising only a default route still advertises routing information, so it does not meet the wording. Summarizing local subnets reduces the number of routes, but it still advertises reachability. The ''distributed mode'' option is not the correct EIGRP stub behavior for this requirement; redistributed stub mode would allow redistributed routes to be advertised. Receive-only is therefore the precise design control for stopping route advertisement from the stub router.
