Question 560

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: A 10G uplink cannot carry expected workloads because one end negotiated at a lower supported rate after optics replacement. Select TWO: a corrective switching action and separate evidence that the correction worked. (Select TWO.)

  1. Packet captures and class drop counters show expected markings and acceptable loss and latency with congestion reproduced.
  2. Inspect supported interface negotiation and peer duplex or speed behavior before attributing retransmissions to application servers.
  3. Separate physical CRC errors, output discards and sustained utilization to identify whether throughput is limited by cabling or queue congestion.
  4. Correlate MSTP port roles, root changes and topology-change counters with periods of interrupted forwarding.
  5. A controlled traffic test identifies the causal counter and demonstrates improved delivery after the targeted fix.

Explanation

Correct Answers

C:

The targeted correction for A 10G uplink cannot carry expected workloads because one end negotiated at a lower supported rate after optics replacement is: Separate physical CRC errors, output discards and sustained utilization to identify whether throughput is limited by cabling or queue congestion. It reduces the risk that increasing port speed or QoS priority without locating error and drop counters can waste capacity and worsen packet loss.

E:

A separate operational validation for A 10G uplink cannot carry expected workloads because one end negotiated at a lower supported rate after optics replacement is: A controlled traffic test identifies the causal counter and demonstrates improved delivery after the targeted fix. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative concerns qos misclassification and queue starvation; its associated risk is: An incorrect high-priority class can starve the intended protected service during busy periods. The observed case A 10G uplink cannot carry expected workloads because one end negotiated at a lower supported rate after optics replacement requires the more specific interface errors congestion and bandwidth root cause control. The targeted action is: Separate physical CRC errors, output discards and sustained utilization to identify whether throughput is limited by cabling or queue congestion.

B:

This alternative concerns duplex mismatch negotiation and retransmissions; its associated risk is: A speed or duplex mismatch can cause errors and poor throughput although packets intermittently pass. The observed case A 10G uplink cannot carry expected workloads because one end negotiated at a lower supported rate after optics replacement requires the more specific interface errors congestion and bandwidth root cause control. The targeted action is: Separate physical CRC errors, output discards and sustained utilization to identify whether throughput is limited by cabling or queue congestion.

D:

This alternative concerns spanning-tree convergence and topology-change churn; its associated risk is: Repeated topology changes can interrupt latency-sensitive services even if average switch CPU and link utilization are normal. The observed case A 10G uplink cannot carry expected workloads because one end negotiated at a lower supported rate after optics replacement requires the more specific interface errors congestion and bandwidth root cause control. The targeted action is: Separate physical CRC errors, output discards and sustained utilization to identify whether throughput is limited by cabling or queue congestion.

Question 561

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: One legacy printer shows collisions and erratic throughput on a link whose peer has a forced duplex setting. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. Which change best addresses the observed switching requirement?

  1. Use supported CPU, process, routing and management telemetry to differentiate control-plane overload from simple forwarding congestion.
  2. Inspect supported interface negotiation and peer duplex or speed behavior before attributing retransmissions to application servers.

Question 562

An engineer investigates: One legacy printer shows collisions and erratic throughput on a link whose peer has a forced duplex setting. What network observation should the team require before approving completion?

  1. An appropriately sized end-to-end payload test passes without unexplained drops along the designed route.
  2. Both ends agree on supported link negotiation and a sustained traffic trial exhibits clean counters and expected rate.
  3. A fault simulation demonstrates expected alternative path convergence with stable root priority and no recurring topology flaps.
