Question 520
The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: A stack conductor election becomes unstable after a software mismatch that the change plan never validated. Select TWO: a corrective switching action and separate evidence that the correction worked. (Select TWO.)
Explanation
Correct Answers
The targeted correction for A stack conductor election becomes unstable after a software mismatch that the change plan never validated is: Recover missing VSF members using supported identity, link, conductor and software checks rather than resetting the logical stack without evidence. It reduces the risk that unplanned zeroization or member readdition can erase interface configuration and extend an access outage.
A separate operational validation for A stack conductor election becomes unstable after a software mismatch that the change plan never validated is: All expected members and ports rejoin the intended VSF inventory with preserved interface roles and healthy conductor election. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.
Incorrect Answers
This alternative concerns multicast join and routed multicast fault recovery; its associated risk is: Enabling more multicast flooding without diagnosis can overload unrelated VLANs and still fail inter-subnet delivery. The observed case A stack conductor election becomes unstable after a software mismatch that the change plan never validated requires the more specific vsf membership and conductor recovery plan control. The targeted action is: Recover missing VSF members using supported identity, link, conductor and software checks rather than resetting the logical stack without evidence.
This alternative concerns port security and aaa fault remediation; its associated risk is: Disabling authentication for an entire building may restore connectivity while exposing unauthorized access to enterprise VLANs. The observed case A stack conductor election becomes unstable after a software mismatch that the change plan never validated requires the more specific vsf membership and conductor recovery plan control. The targeted action is: Recover missing VSF members using supported identity, link, conductor and software checks rather than resetting the logical stack without evidence.
This alternative concerns configuration drift and restore after an outage; its associated risk is: Blind restoration from a stale backup may overwrite healthy newer policies and leave a hidden repeat-failure trigger. The observed case A stack conductor election becomes unstable after a software mismatch that the change plan never validated requires the more specific vsf membership and conductor recovery plan control. The targeted action is: Recover missing VSF members using supported identity, link, conductor and software checks rather than resetting the logical stack without evidence.
