Question 570

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: Small ICMP probes pass through the data-center fabric but large application transfers stall after encapsulation is enabled. Which TWO choices together provide the targeted remedy and independent validation? (Select TWO.)

  1. Verify the supported MTU across ingress, routed uplinks and any overlay encapsulation path when small packets work but larger payloads fail.
  2. Cross-endpoint and cross-service comparisons isolate whether the measured issue originates on one host or a shared network path.
  3. Evaluate per-flow LACP hashing, active member state and traffic mix before expecting additive throughput for every single transfer.
  4. Separate physical CRC errors, output discards and sustained utilization to identify whether throughput is limited by cabling or queue congestion.
  5. An appropriately sized end-to-end payload test passes without unexplained drops along the designed route.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

The targeted correction for Small ICMP probes pass through the data-center fabric but large application transfers stall after encapsulation is enabled is: Verify the supported MTU across ingress, routed uplinks and any overlay encapsulation path when small packets work but larger payloads fail. It reduces the risk that a mismatch can create fragmentation or loss and cause application timeouts even while basic ping succeeds.

E:

A separate operational validation for Small ICMP probes pass through the data-center fabric but large application transfers stall after encapsulation is enabled is: An appropriately sized end-to-end payload test passes without unexplained drops along the designed route. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This alternative concerns end-node and application-path performance differentiation; its associated risk is: Local client faults and server slowness can resemble network degradation, causing disruptive configuration changes that do not help. The observed case Small ICMP probes pass through the data-center fabric but large application transfers stall after encapsulation is enabled requires the more specific mtu consistency and large-packet forwarding control. The targeted action is: Verify the supported MTU across ingress, routed uplinks and any overlay encapsulation path when small packets work but larger payloads fail.

C:

This alternative concerns lag hash distribution and elephant flows; its associated risk is: A single large flow may remain on one link despite healthy bundle capacity and can coexist with underused members. The observed case Small ICMP probes pass through the data-center fabric but large application transfers stall after encapsulation is enabled requires the more specific mtu consistency and large-packet forwarding control. The targeted action is: Verify the supported MTU across ingress, routed uplinks and any overlay encapsulation path when small packets work but larger payloads fail.

D:

This alternative concerns interface errors congestion and bandwidth root cause; its associated risk is: Increasing port speed or QoS priority without locating error and drop counters can waste capacity and worsen packet loss. The observed case Small ICMP probes pass through the data-center fabric but large application transfers stall after encapsulation is enabled requires the more specific mtu consistency and large-packet forwarding control. The targeted action is: Verify the supported MTU across ingress, routed uplinks and any overlay encapsulation path when small packets work but larger payloads fail.

Question 571

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: An overlay path adds headers but the physical underlay has no room for the required payload size. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. What is the most defensible operational action before closing the network change?

  1. Separate physical CRC errors, output discards and sustained utilization to identify whether throughput is limited by cabling or queue congestion.
  2. Compare ingress class, remarking, egress queue and scheduling to identify the real congestion and fairness defect.
  3. Inspect supported interface negotiation and peer duplex or speed behavior before attributing retransmissions to application servers.
  4. Verify the supported MTU across ingress, routed uplinks and any overlay encapsulation path when small packets work but larger payloads fail.
