An airport authority wants to nudge EIGRP traffic away from a congested microwave hop during fair season without tearing down the adjacency. Which tool best applies a controlled metric increase to selected prefixes?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
An offset-list is a gentle thumb on the scale—add some metric to the prefixes you care about and traffic slides to the quieter path. The neighbor stays up; you just made that microwave look a little worse on purpose. Passive or protocol mix-ups are sledgehammers.
Full Explanation
EIGRP offset-lists add a configured metric offset to matching routes inbound or outbound, enabling controlled traffic engineering without removing the adjacency. Passive-interface stops peering, OSPF process IDs are irrelevant to EIGRP path choice, and disabling BFD slows failure detection rather than steering traffic. Offset-lists remain a classic operations tool for seasonal or temporary nudges.
