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.)
Explanation
Correct Answers
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
