Question 180

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: An incident responder saves a broad emergency ACL change that the approved rollback intended to remove. Select TWO: a corrective switching action and separate evidence that the correction worked. (Select TWO.)

  1. A reviewed transcript shows the desired state in running configuration and matching operational show outputs on the target model.
  2. Confirm the effective running configuration, persistence on reboot and approved backup before saving or upgrading an AOS-CX switch.
  3. Correlate operational interface, MAC, VLAN, route and neighbor show output with configuration instead of inferring success from one line of CLI.
  4. A maintenance test compares running and startup state, saves only approved changes and verifies persistence after a controlled reboot.
  5. Assign user ports to the intended access VLAN and verify that untagged frames reach the proper broadcast domain.

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

The targeted correction for An incident responder saves a broad emergency ACL change that the approved rollback intended to remove is: Confirm the effective running configuration, persistence on reboot and approved backup before saving or upgrading an AOS-CX switch. It reduces the risk that a working session can vanish after a restart, while inadvertently saved emergency settings can persist outside the change window.

D:

A separate operational validation for An incident responder saves a broad emergency ACL change that the approved rollback intended to remove is: A maintenance test compares running and startup state, saves only approved changes and verifies persistence after a controlled reboot. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative concerns aos-cx cli configuration context and verification; its associated risk is: Commands copied from a different platform family or wrong configuration context may be rejected or alter an unintended object. The observed case An incident responder saves a broad emergency ACL change that the approved rollback intended to remove requires the more specific running versus startup configuration and controlled save control. The targeted action is: Confirm the effective running configuration, persistence on reboot and approved backup before saving or upgrading an AOS-CX switch.

C:

This alternative concerns interface and route operational show-command discipline; its associated risk is: An administratively up interface does not establish that tagging, adjacency or end-to-end forwarding works correctly. The observed case An incident responder saves a broad emergency ACL change that the approved rollback intended to remove requires the more specific running versus startup configuration and controlled save control. The targeted action is: Confirm the effective running configuration, persistence on reboot and approved backup before saving or upgrading an AOS-CX switch.

E:

This alternative concerns vlan access port membership and untagged traffic; its associated risk is: A correct IP address cannot repair wrong VLAN membership, and access ports in unintended VLANs can expose protected resources. The observed case An incident responder saves a broad emergency ACL change that the approved rollback intended to remove requires the more specific running versus startup configuration and controlled save control. The targeted action is: Confirm the effective running configuration, persistence on reboot and approved backup before saving or upgrading an AOS-CX switch.

Question 181

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: An engineer captures a backup from last month's switch rather than the running target before a risky upgrade. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. Which implementation or troubleshooting step directly resolves the specific network issue?

  1. Use the appropriate AOS-CX global, VLAN, interface and routing CLI contexts, and verify commands against the exact platform and version.
  2. Correlate operational interface, MAC, VLAN, route and neighbor show output with configuration instead of inferring success from one line of CLI.
  3. Integrate switch configuration and monitoring with the intended Central deployment method while reconciling local changes, templates and device exceptions.
  4. Confirm the effective running configuration, persistence on reboot and approved backup before saving or upgrading an AOS-CX switch.

The targeted action is: Confirm the effective running configuration, persistence on reboot and approved backup before saving or upgrading an AOS-CX switch.

C:

This alternative concerns central and aos-cx configuration consistency; its associated risk is: A local fix that conflicts with centrally enforced state can disappear on the next synchronization cycle. The observed case An engineer captures a backup from last month's switch rather than the running target before a risky upgrade requires the more specific running versus startup configuration and controlled save control. The targeted action is: Confirm the effective running configuration, persistence on reboot and approved backup before saving or upgrading an AOS-CX switch.

Question 182

An engineer investigates: An engineer captures a backup from last month's switch rather than the running target before a risky upgrade. What network observation should the team require before approving completion?

  1. A validation log includes link counters, VLAN membership, neighbor state and an end-to-end traffic test for the change.
  2. A maintenance test compares running and startup state, saves only approved changes and verifies persistence after a controlled reboot.
  3. A reviewed transcript shows the desired state in running configuration and matching operational show outputs on the target model.
  4. A controlled policy change remains effective after Central reconciliation and matches its intended device group and exceptions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The independent acceptance evidence for An engineer captures a backup from last month's switch rather than the running target before a risky upgrade is: A maintenance test compares running and startup state, saves only approved changes and verifies persistence after a controlled reboot. It tests whether the team has actually implemented: Confirm the effective running configuration, persistence on reboot and approved backup before saving or upgrading an AOS-CX switch.

Confirm with: A maintenance test compares running and startup state, saves only approved changes and verifies persistence after a controlled reboot.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative concerns dynamic segmentation roles and enforcement; its associated risk is: Role names without operational enforcement can leave different endpoint classes in an improperly shared security domain.
