CompTIA N10-009 Exam - Topic 1 Question 35 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's N10-009 exam

Question #: 35
Topic #: 1

Due to concerns around single points of failure, a company decided to add an additional WAN to the network. The company added a second MPLS vendor to the current MPLS WAN and deployed an additional WAN router at each site. Both MPLS providers use OSPF on the WAN network, and EIGRP is run internally. The first site to go live with the new WAN is successful, but when the second site is activated, significant network issues occur. Which of the following is the most likely cause for the WAN instability?

AA changed CDP neighbor

BAsymmetrical routing

CA switching loop

DAn incorrect IP address

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Asymmetrical routing occurs when packets take different paths to and from the destination, leading to instability in network communication. The use of two different MPLS providers with OSPF can lead to this type of routing issue, especially if the paths aren't carefully configured and managed. This can cause unexpected routing behaviors and instability in a dual-WAN setup. (Reference: CompTIA Network+ Study Guide, Chapter on Network Routing)
