Question 260

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: Two distribution peers use the same physical SVI address accidentally instead of their planned shared gateway design. Select TWO: a corrective switching action and separate evidence that the correction worked. (Select TWO.)

  1. A route-table and traceroute check confirms the selected prefix, reachable next hop and bidirectional service flow.
  2. Configure supported BGP neighbor reachability, autonomous system relationships and explicit route import/export controls for the actual topology.
  3. Configure an SVI with a valid VLAN, IP prefix and forwarding state on a supported AOS-CX platform to route traffic between authorized networks.
  4. Routing and ARP or neighbor tests prove two permitted VLANs reach the intended gateways and return paths.
  5. Keep tenant or management routing tables in intended VRFs and define explicit supported inter-VRF reachability only when authorized.

Explanation

Correct Answers

C:

The targeted correction for Two distribution peers use the same physical SVI address accidentally instead of their planned shared gateway design is: Configure an SVI with a valid VLAN, IP prefix and forwarding state on a supported AOS-CX platform to route traffic between authorized networks. It reduces the risk that duplicate gateways or mismatched prefix lengths can make hosts reachable only locally or create asymmetric routing.

D:

A separate operational validation for Two distribution peers use the same physical SVI address accidentally instead of their planned shared gateway design is: Routing and ARP or neighbor tests prove two permitted VLANs reach the intended gateways and return paths. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative concerns static route preference and default path; its associated risk is: A default route pointing to an unreachable gateway or unintended VRF can blackhole otherwise correctly switched traffic. The observed case Two distribution peers use the same physical SVI address accidentally instead of their planned shared gateway design requires the more specific svi addressing and inter-vlan routing control. The targeted action is: Configure an SVI with a valid VLAN, IP prefix and forwarding state on a supported AOS-CX platform to route traffic between authorized networks.

B:

This alternative concerns bgp peering and route policy boundaries; its associated risk is: An established BGP session does not by itself prove that correct prefixes are advertised or accepted without leaks. The observed case Two distribution peers use the same physical SVI address accidentally instead of their planned shared gateway design requires the more specific svi addressing and inter-vlan routing control. The targeted action is: Configure an SVI with a valid VLAN, IP prefix and forwarding state on a supported AOS-CX platform to route traffic between authorized networks.

E:

This alternative concerns vrf segmentation and route leaking control; its associated risk is: Treating VRFs as one shared table can leak restricted networks or leave permitted traffic with no route. The observed case Two distribution peers use the same physical SVI address accidentally instead of their planned shared gateway design requires the more specific svi addressing and inter-vlan routing control. The targeted action is: Configure an SVI with a valid VLAN, IP prefix and forwarding state on a supported AOS-CX platform to route traffic between authorized networks.

Question 261

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: An SVI remains down because its underlying VLAN has no operational forwarding port. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. Which implementation or troubleshooting step directly resolves the specific network issue?

  1. Keep tenant or management routing tables in intended VRFs and define explicit supported inter-VRF reachability only when authorized.
  2. Configure supported BGP neighbor reachability, autonomous system relationships and explicit route import/export controls for the actual topology.
  3. Define next hops and route preferences using the intended VRF and reachable paths, then check both forward and reverse reachability.
  4. Configure an SVI with a valid VLAN, IP prefix and forwarding state on a supported AOS-CX platform to route traffic between authorized networks.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The decisive observed condition is: An SVI remains down because its underlying VLAN has no operational forwarding port. The appropriate switching action is: Configure an SVI with a valid VLAN, IP prefix and forwarding state on a supported AOS-CX platform to route traffic between authorized networks. It addresses the risk that duplicate gateways or mismatched prefix lengths can make hosts reachable only locally or create asymmetric routing.

The targeted action is: Configure an SVI with a valid VLAN, IP prefix and forwarding state on a supported AOS-CX platform to route traffic between authorized networks.

Question 262

An engineer investigates: An SVI remains down because its underlying VLAN has no operational forwarding port. What acceptance evidence most directly demonstrates the correction succeeded?

  1. A route-table and traceroute check confirms the selected prefix, reachable next hop and bidirectional service flow.
  2. The routing policy test checks permitted learned and advertised prefixes and rejects disallowed networks.
  3. Two tenant tests confirm expected isolation and any explicitly approved shared service is reachable under policy.
  4. Routing and ARP or neighbor tests prove two permitted VLANs reach the intended gateways and return paths.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The independent acceptance evidence for An SVI remains down because its underlying VLAN has no operational forwarding port is: Routing and ARP or neighbor tests prove two permitted VLANs reach the intended gateways and return paths. It tests whether the team has actually implemented: Configure an SVI with a valid VLAN, IP prefix and forwarding state on a supported AOS-CX platform to route traffic between authorized networks. An enabled interface or saved configuration by itself is not evidence of complete service recovery.

Question 263

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: A branch routes one subnet correctly but the destination VLAN is missing from the local routing table. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. Which response best satisfies the technical requirement without disrupting unrelated traffic?

  1. Configure an SVI with a valid VLAN, IP prefix and forwarding state on a supported AOS-CX platform to route traffic between authorized networks.
  2. Define next hops and route preferences using the intended VRF and reachable paths, then check both forward and reverse reachability.
  3. Configure consistent active-gateway addresses and VMACs across supported VSX peers and confirm ISL and keepalive health.
  4. Establish compatible OSPF process, area, interface and adjacency parameters before relying on dynamic campus route convergence.

The targeted action is: Configure an SVI with a valid VLAN, IP prefix and forwarding state on a supported AOS-CX platform to route traffic between authorized networks.

Question 264

The switch operations team reports: A branch routes one subnet correctly but the destination VLAN is missing from the local routing table. Which failure or service risk most directly follows from leaving this condition uncorrected?
