Question 90

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: Two distribution switches accidentally use conflicting physical SVI addresses because the design confuses them with a shared virtual gateway. Which TWO choices together provide the targeted remedy and independent validation? (Select TWO.)

  1. Define access, aggregation and core boundaries, link roles and failure domains before selecting redundancy and spanning-tree approaches.
  2. Select a consistent MSTP region/root placement or appropriate VSX/VSF active uplink design based on the actual Layer 2 topology.
  3. A new host receives the intended address scope, gateway and DNS from an approved server across the routed boundary.
  4. Specify supported SVI gateways, routed uplinks, static or dynamic routing and redundancy placement before implementation.
  5. A routed path test confirms intended gateway ownership, bidirectional prefixes and recovery after an uplink outage.

Explanation

Correct Answers

D:

The targeted correction for Two distribution switches accidentally use conflicting physical SVI addresses because the design confuses them with a shared virtual gateway is: Specify supported SVI gateways, routed uplinks, static or dynamic routing and redundancy placement before implementation. It reduces the risk that placing IP gateways on the wrong layer can lead to asymmetric paths, duplicate addresses or traffic hairpinning.

E:

A separate operational validation for Two distribution switches accidentally use conflicting physical SVI addresses because the design confuses them with a shared virtual gateway is: A routed path test confirms intended gateway ownership, bidirectional prefixes and recovery after an uplink outage. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative concerns campus topology and failure-domain planning; its associated risk is: Undocumented failure boundaries can turn an access-layer defect into a campus-wide event and obscure recovery responsibility. The observed case Two distribution switches accidentally use conflicting physical SVI addresses because the design confuses them with a shared virtual gateway requires the more specific inter-vlan routing and default gateway placement control. The targeted action is: Specify supported SVI gateways, routed uplinks, static or dynamic routing and redundancy placement before implementation.

B:

The observed case Two distribution switches accidentally use conflicting physical SVI addresses because the design confuses them with a shared virtual gateway requires the more specific inter-vlan routing and default gateway placement control. The targeted action is: Specify supported SVI gateways, routed uplinks, static or dynamic routing and redundancy placement before implementation.

C:

This alternative concerns dhcp relay and ip service planning; its associated risk is: A missing relay or permissive rogue-server path can leave new VLAN users disconnected or misconfigured. The observed case Two distribution switches accidentally use conflicting physical SVI addresses because the design confuses them with a shared virtual gateway requires the more specific inter-vlan routing and default gateway placement control. The targeted action is: Specify supported SVI gateways, routed uplinks, static or dynamic routing and redundancy placement before implementation.

Question 91

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: A branch host receives a correct subnet mask but its default gateway exists only in a remote isolated VLAN. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. What is the most defensible operational action before closing the network change?

  1. Map VLAN IDs, switchport tagging, Layer 3 gateways and traffic-policy boundaries to actual user and device populations.
  2. Specify supported SVI gateways, routed uplinks, static or dynamic routing and redundancy placement before implementation.
  3. Identify client VLAN boundaries, relay targets, routing and DHCP protection controls so hosts obtain addresses from authorized servers.

The targeted action is: Specify supported SVI gateways, routed uplinks, static or dynamic routing and redundancy placement before implementation.

Question 92

The switch operations team reports: A branch host receives a correct subnet mask but its default gateway exists only in a remote isolated VLAN. What adverse switching behavior should the engineer anticipate?

Question 94

An engineer investigates: A campus core has a route to a server subnet but no reciprocal route back to the user access network. Which verification proves the intended operational state rather than just a saved configuration?
