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
network. The use of the lower bandwidth route that passes using the remote router might cause WAN
EIGRP distribution routers to be dropped. Serial lines on distribution and remote routers could also be
dropped, and EIGRP SIA errors on the distribution and core routers could occur.
