A fire district is migrating classic EIGRP address-family style configs into named mode. What is the primary operational benefit of named-mode EIGRP for this redesign?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Named mode is the tidy filing cabinet: one EIGRP “process name,” then neat address-family drawers for IPv4, IPv6, and VRFs. Same routing brain, cleaner structure for the fire district’s migration. It doesn’t invent free encryption or throw away stubs.
Full Explanation
Named-mode EIGRP consolidates classic per-AF configuration into a hierarchical instance with address-family stanzas, improving consistency for IPv4/IPv6 and VRF designs. Neighbors still require matching AS/process identity for adjacency; named mode is not a data-plane crypto feature and does not eliminate stub or query controls. Municipal migrations adopt it for operational clarity and structured AF management.
