A police records bureau marks remote clinic routers as EIGRP stubs so a WAN flap does not query the entire county. What primary problem does the stub feature mitigate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When the WAN hiccups, EIGRP can start a county-wide scavenger hunt asking every router “got a backup?” Stub sites reply “don’t ask me—I’m a leaf.” That shrinks the query storm. Stubs are about query boundaries, not free encryption or becoming everyone’s backup.
Full Explanation
EIGRP stub routing constrains which queries a router answers and advertises, creating query boundaries that improve stability when remote sites flap. It does not encrypt payloads, force FS roles onto remotes, or auto-convert links to OSPF area types. Marking clinics stub is a standard scale-and-stability pattern for spoke-heavy municipal WANs.
