Question 270
The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: A route is installed in the management VRF while client traffic is evaluated in the default VRF. Which TWO choices together provide the targeted remedy and independent validation? (Select TWO.)
Explanation
Correct Answers
The targeted correction for A route is installed in the management VRF while client traffic is evaluated in the default VRF is: Define next hops and route preferences using the intended VRF and reachable paths, then check both forward and reverse reachability. It reduces the risk that a default route pointing to an unreachable gateway or unintended VRF can blackhole otherwise correctly switched traffic.
A separate operational validation for A route is installed in the management VRF while client traffic is evaluated in the default VRF is: A route-table and traceroute check confirms the selected prefix, reachable next hop and bidirectional service flow. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.
Incorrect Answers
This alternative concerns svi addressing and inter-vlan routing; its associated risk is: Duplicate gateways or mismatched prefix lengths can make hosts reachable only locally or create asymmetric routing. The observed case A route is installed in the management VRF while client traffic is evaluated in the default VRF requires the more specific static route preference and default path control. The targeted action is: Define next hops and route preferences using the intended VRF and reachable paths, then check both forward and reverse reachability.
This alternative concerns ospf area and neighbor formation; its associated risk is: An OSPF neighbor mismatch can leave a physical link working while required prefixes never populate the routing table. The observed case A route is installed in the management VRF while client traffic is evaluated in the default VRF requires the more specific static route preference and default path control. The targeted action is: Define next hops and route preferences using the intended VRF and reachable paths, then check both forward and reverse reachability.
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 A route is installed in the management VRF while client traffic is evaluated in the default VRF requires the more specific static route preference and default path control. The targeted action is: Define next hops and route preferences using the intended VRF and reachable paths, then check both forward and reverse reachability.
