Both distribution routers maintain routes to the corporate network and stub network 10.1.1.0/24.
Dual-homed routing can introduce instability into an EIGRP network. In
1 is directly connected to network 10.3.1.0/24. If summarization or filtering is applied on distribution
router 1, the router advertises network 10.3.1.0/24 to all of its directly connected EIGRP neighbors
(distribution router 2 and the remote router).

If the 10.2.1.0/24 link between distribution router 1 and distribution router 2 has failed, the lowest cost
path to network 10.3.1.0/24 from distribution router 2 is using the remote router (see
route is not desirable because the traffic that was previously traveling across the corporate network
10.2.1.0/24 is now sent across a much lower bandwidth connection. The over utilization of the lower
bandwidth WAN connection can cause a number of problems that might affect the entire corporate
