Question 460
The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: A disconnected VSF ring link leaves the stack running in a reduced topology and the NOC overlooks the degraded state. Select TWO: a corrective switching action and separate evidence that the correction worked. (Select TWO.)
Explanation
Correct Answers
The targeted correction for A disconnected VSF ring link leaves the stack running in a reduced topology and the NOC overlooks the degraded state is: Review VSF member status, conductor role, topology and stack link health before treating missing interfaces as VLAN misconfiguration. It reduces the risk that a failed stack member or split may remove physical access ports and strand endpoints while the logical switch remains partially reachable.
A separate operational validation for A disconnected VSF ring link leaves the stack running in a reduced topology and the NOC overlooks the degraded state is: The stack returns to a single intended logical inventory with healthy member ports and validated failover. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.
Incorrect Answers
This alternative concerns duplicate or mismatched host ipv4 settings; its associated risk is: A duplicate or off-subnet gateway can make traffic fail at the first hop even while switch links and route tables appear normal. The observed case A disconnected VSF ring link leaves the stack running in a reduced topology and the NOC overlooks the degraded state requires the more specific vsf member identity and split detection fault control. The targeted action is: Review VSF member status, conductor role, topology and stack link health before treating missing interfaces as VLAN misconfiguration.
This alternative concerns ethernet carrier optic and physical fault isolation; its associated risk is: Repeated CRC errors or light loss can mimic application failures even when the port intermittently reports up. The observed case A disconnected VSF ring link leaves the stack running in a reduced topology and the NOC overlooks the degraded state requires the more specific vsf member identity and split detection fault control. The targeted action is: Review VSF member status, conductor role, topology and stack link health before treating missing interfaces as VLAN misconfiguration.
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 disconnected VSF ring link leaves the stack running in a reduced topology and the NOC overlooks the degraded state requires the more specific vsf member identity and split detection fault control. The targeted action is: Review VSF member status, conductor role, topology and stack link health before treating missing interfaces as VLAN misconfiguration.
