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.)
Explanation
Correct Answers
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
