Question 410

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: Two classroom PCs report the same IP address and intermittently steal each other's ARP entries. Which TWO choices together provide the targeted remedy and independent validation? (Select TWO.)

  1. Start IP reachability triage by comparing host address, mask, default gateway and SVI subnet on the actual VLAN before changing routes.
  2. Inspect MSTP region configuration, root election and per-instance port states to explain blocking or topology churn.
  3. VSX state, ISL and keepalive show expected health and host traffic remains available after one controlled peer fault.
  4. A corrected test host ARPs for the intended gateway and reaches both a local peer and an approved remote subnet.
  5. Review VSF member status, conductor role, topology and stack link health before treating missing interfaces as VLAN misconfiguration.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

The targeted correction for Two classroom PCs report the same IP address and intermittently steal each other's ARP entries is: Start IP reachability triage by comparing host address, mask, default gateway and SVI subnet on the actual VLAN before changing routes. It reduces the risk that a duplicate or off-subnet gateway can make traffic fail at the first hop even while switch links and route tables appear normal.

D:

A separate operational validation for Two classroom PCs report the same IP address and intermittently steal each other's ARP entries is: A corrected test host ARPs for the intended gateway and reaches both a local peer and an approved remote subnet. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This alternative concerns spanning tree topology and root inconsistency; its associated risk is: An unexpected root or mismatched region can suppress the intended redundant forwarding path and cause intermittent client connectivity. The observed case Two classroom PCs report the same IP address and intermittently steal each other's ARP entries requires the more specific duplicate or mismatched host ipv4 settings control. The targeted action is: Start IP reachability triage by comparing host address, mask, default gateway and SVI subnet on the actual VLAN before changing routes.

C:

This alternative concerns vsx keepalive isl and peer-state fault; its associated risk is: An ISL failure without a correctly operating peer control path can disrupt dual-homed systems and complicate split recovery. The observed case Two classroom PCs report the same IP address and intermittently steal each other's ARP entries requires the more specific duplicate or mismatched host ipv4 settings control. The targeted action is: Start IP reachability triage by comparing host address, mask, default gateway and SVI subnet on the actual VLAN before changing routes.

E:

This alternative concerns vsf member identity and split detection fault; its associated risk is: A failed stack member or split may remove physical access ports and strand endpoints while the logical switch remains partially reachable. The observed case Two classroom PCs report the same IP address and intermittently steal each other's ARP entries requires the more specific duplicate or mismatched host ipv4 settings control. The targeted action is: Start IP reachability triage by comparing host address, mask, default gateway and SVI subnet on the actual VLAN before changing routes.

Question 411

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: A branch printer has an address in VLAN 30 but its default gateway belongs to VLAN 40. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. What is the most defensible operational action before closing the network change?

  1. Compare a failed endpoint's observed MAC-learning VLAN, access interface membership and IP lease with the expected role.
  2. Inspect MSTP region configuration, root election and per-instance port states to explain blocking or topology churn.
  3. Check authorized DHCP offer path and access-port authentication state when clients cannot obtain usable connectivity.
  4. Start IP reachability triage by comparing host address, mask, default gateway and SVI subnet on the actual VLAN before changing routes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The decisive observed condition is: A branch printer has an address in VLAN 30 but its default gateway belongs to VLAN 40. The appropriate switching action is: Start IP reachability triage by comparing host address, mask, default gateway and SVI subnet on the actual VLAN before changing routes. It addresses the risk that a duplicate or off-subnet gateway can make traffic fail at the first hop even while switch links and route tables appear normal. Confirm with: A corrected test host ARPs for the intended gateway and reaches both a local peer and an approved remote subnet.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative concerns incorrect vlan access assignment identification; its associated risk is: A host in the wrong access VLAN can contact the wrong DHCP scope or become disconnected from its authorized services.

The targeted action is: Start IP reachability triage by comparing host address, mask, default gateway and SVI subnet on the actual VLAN before changing routes.

C:

This alternative concerns dhcp and wired-authentication first-hop failures; its associated risk is: A blocked DHCP relay or failed RADIUS policy can masquerade as a dead network even though forwarding interfaces remain operational. The observed case A branch printer has an address in VLAN 30 but its default gateway belongs to VLAN 40 requires the more specific duplicate or mismatched host ipv4 settings control. The targeted action is: Start IP reachability triage by comparing host address, mask, default gateway and SVI subnet on the actual VLAN before changing routes.

Question 412

The switch operations team reports: A branch printer has an address in VLAN 30 but its default gateway belongs to VLAN 40. What adverse switching behavior should the engineer anticipate?

  1. A host in the wrong access VLAN can contact the wrong DHCP scope or become disconnected from its authorized services.
  2. A duplicate or off-subnet gateway can make traffic fail at the first hop even while switch links and route tables appear normal.
  3. A blocked DHCP relay or failed RADIUS policy can masquerade as a dead network even though forwarding interfaces remain operational.
  4. An unexpected root or mismatched region can suppress the intended redundant forwarding path and cause intermittent client connectivity.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The direct operational failure mode is: A duplicate or off-subnet gateway can make traffic fail at the first hop even while switch links and route tables appear normal. It applies to the condition A branch printer has an address in VLAN 30 but its default gateway belongs to VLAN 40. The suitable corrective action is: Start IP reachability triage by comparing host address, mask, default gateway and SVI subnet on the actual VLAN before changing routes.

Question 413

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: A host uses a /16 mask where the deployed user VLAN is /24 and incorrectly treats remote clients as on-link. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. Which implementation or troubleshooting step directly resolves the specific network issue?

  1. Inspect MSTP region configuration, root election and per-instance port states to explain blocking or topology churn.
  2. Use port operational status, optical diagnostics and CRC or FCS counters to distinguish physical failure from VLAN and routing issues.
  3. Trace the affected VLAN over all inter-switch trunks and reconcile tagged or untagged handling at each hop.
  4. Start IP reachability triage by comparing host address, mask, default gateway and SVI subnet on the actual VLAN before changing routes.
