Question 700

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: Two campuses are compared using different reporting time windows and management calls one site defective. Select TWO: a corrective switching action and separate evidence that the correction worked. (Select TWO.)

  1. Interpret interface administrative and operational state, negotiated speed, error counters and trend direction in context before taking action.
  2. Compare current AOS-CX telemetry against a known healthy baseline and traffic time window rather than drawing conclusions from isolated graphs.
  3. A route-health trial ties expected adjacencies and advertised/received prefixes to successful bidirectional probes.
  4. Monitor VSF conductor, member presence, ring or chain status and per-member uplinks to recognize degraded access availability.
  5. Before/after trend data uses consistent time windows and shows whether measured user impact and relevant network counters improved.

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

The targeted correction for Two campuses are compared using different reporting time windows and management calls one site defective is: Compare current AOS-CX telemetry against a known healthy baseline and traffic time window rather than drawing conclusions from isolated graphs. It reduces the risk that an average bandwidth graph can conceal short congestion bursts and misleading seasonal comparisons.

E:

A separate operational validation for Two campuses are compared using different reporting time windows and management calls one site defective is: Before/after trend data uses consistent time windows and shows whether measured user impact and relevant network counters improved. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative concerns switch interface telemetry and threshold interpretation; its associated risk is: A single green link status can conceal elevated errors, mismatched speed or an emerging optical failure. The observed case Two campuses are compared using different reporting time windows and management calls one site defective requires the more specific network health dashboards and time-series baseline control. The targeted action is: Compare current AOS-CX telemetry against a known healthy baseline and traffic time window rather than drawing conclusions from isolated graphs.

C:

This alternative concerns route-table neighbor and path change monitoring; its associated risk is: A session-up metric alone can hide missing or rejected prefixes, and route churn can cause sporadic traffic loss. The observed case Two campuses are compared using different reporting time windows and management calls one site defective requires the more specific network health dashboards and time-series baseline control. The targeted action is: Compare current AOS-CX telemetry against a known healthy baseline and traffic time window rather than drawing conclusions from isolated graphs.

D:

This alternative concerns vsf member and stack topology observability; its associated risk is: A surviving logical stack address can conceal a missing member and hundreds of failed physical user ports. The observed case Two campuses are compared using different reporting time windows and management calls one site defective requires the more specific network health dashboards and time-series baseline control. The targeted action is: Compare current AOS-CX telemetry against a known healthy baseline and traffic time window rather than drawing conclusions from isolated graphs.

Question 701

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: A new branch shows high CPU only during provisioning yet the operations team assumes persistent overload. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. Which implementation or troubleshooting step directly resolves the specific network issue?

  1. Interpret VSX peer, inter-switch link, keepalive, synchronization and multichassis LAG indicators together instead of relying on one peer's health.
  2. Use multi-month traffic, port utilization, PoE demand, error history and switch support lifecycle data to prioritize upgrades.
  3. Compare current AOS-CX telemetry against a known healthy baseline and traffic time window rather than drawing conclusions from isolated graphs.
  4. Interpret interface administrative and operational state, negotiated speed, error counters and trend direction in context before taking action.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The decisive observed condition is: A new branch shows high CPU only during provisioning yet the operations team assumes persistent overload. The appropriate switching action is: Compare current AOS-CX telemetry against a known healthy baseline and traffic time window rather than drawing conclusions from isolated graphs. It addresses the risk that an average bandwidth graph can conceal short congestion bursts and misleading seasonal comparisons. Confirm with: Before/after trend data uses consistent time windows and shows whether measured user impact and relevant network counters improved.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Question 702

An engineer investigates: A new branch shows high CPU only during provisioning yet the operations team assumes persistent overload. Which verification proves the intended operational state rather than just a saved configuration?

  1. Before/after trend data uses consistent time windows and shows whether measured user impact and relevant network counters improved.
  2. A capacity plan identifies the binding resource, projected growth and the least disruptive model or uplink improvement.
  3. A controlled peer-failure rehearsal confirms expected monitored state transitions and continued gateway and application reachability.
  4. A measured trend and cross-check distinguish an actionable fault from normal transient changes and verify remediation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The independent acceptance evidence for A new branch shows high CPU only during provisioning yet the operations team assumes persistent overload is: Before/after trend data uses consistent time windows and shows whether measured user impact and relevant network counters improved. It tests whether the team has actually implemented: Compare current AOS-CX telemetry against a known healthy baseline and traffic time window rather than drawing conclusions from isolated graphs.
