In an EIGRP network, where can summarization be applied?

  • Any EIGRP router can perform summarization.
  • Only EIGRP area border routers can perform summarization.
  • Only EIGRP autonomous system border routers can perform summarization.
  • Only EIGRP stub routers can perform summarization.

Explanation: EIGRP is highly flexible and supports manual route summarization on any interface of any router within the autonomous system. This distinguishes it from protocols like OSPF, which restrict summarization to specific roles like Area Border Routers (ABR) or Autonomous System Border Routers (ASBR).
