Why have the routes changed?

An engineer has implemented EIGRP in the data center with a large OSPF routed environment.
All EIGRP routes were functioning properly until enabling EIGRP route summarization. Legacy
OSPF routes are now being used for route selection. Why have the routes changed?

    Hi,

    Answer A is wrong, because of this (5 vs 90):
    only possible answer is C.

    Routing Protocol Administrative distance
    Directly connected interface 0
    Static route out an interface 1
    Static route to next-hop address 1
    DMNR – Dynamic Mobile Network Routing 3
    EIGRP summary route 5
    External BGP 20
    Internal EIGRP 90
    IGRP 100
    OSPF 110
    IS-IS 115
    Routing Information Protocol (RIP) 120
    Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) 140
    On Demand Routing (ODR) 160
    External EIGRP 170
    Internal BGP 200
    Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) 250
    Floating Static Route (ex. DHCP-learned) 254
    Unknown 255

    Guys, I think you missed Something in the Question and specifically the answer A!
    Maybe the EIGRP summary routes have changed manually to a higher AD than the default value!
    Ex: ip summary-address eigrp 10 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 150
    considering this, then the answer A is correct!;-)

    Ans: C
    Example
    Making Forwarding Decisions

    Let’s look at the three routes we just installed in the routing table, and see how they look on the router.

    router# show ip route
    ….
    D 192.168.32.0/26 [90/25789217] via 10.1.1.1
    R 192.168.32.0/24 [120/4] via 10.1.1.2
    O 192.168.32.0/19 [110/229840] via 10.1.1.3
    ….

    If a packet arrives on a router interface destined for 192.168.32.1, which route would the router choose? It depends on the prefix length, or the number of bits set in the subnet mask. Longer prefixes are always preferred over shorter ones when forwarding a packet.

    In this case, a packet destined to 192.168.32.1 is directed toward 10.1.1.1, because 192.168.32.1 falls within the 192.168.32.0/26 network (192.168.32.0 to 192.168.32.63). It also falls within the other two routes available, but the 192.168.32.0/26 has the longest prefix within the routing table (26 bits verses 24 or 19 bits).

    Likewise, if a packet destined for 192.168.32.100 arrives on one of the router’s interfaces, it’s forwarded to 10.1.1.2, because 192.168.32.100 doesn’t fall within 192.168.32.0/26 (192.168.32.0 through 192.168.32.63), but it does fall within the 192.168.32.0/24 destination (192.168.32.0 through 192.168.32.255). Again, it also falls into the range covered by 192.168.32.0/19, but 192.168.32.0/24 has a longer prefix length.
