Question 720

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: A template status indicates configuration drift but a technician checks only the device's overall reachability indicator. Select TWO: a corrective switching action and separate evidence that the correction worked. (Select TWO.)

  1. Use Central inventory, configuration and switch status views with device-level detail to distinguish reachability, compliance and hardware health.
  2. A measurement shows subscribers receive their requested group and nonmembers do not receive unwanted multicast flooding.
  3. Interpret interface administrative and operational state, negotiated speed, error counters and trend direction in context before taking action.
  4. Compare current AOS-CX telemetry against a known healthy baseline and traffic time window rather than drawing conclusions from isolated graphs.
  5. A device-level audit reconciles correct serial number, software, config status and operational link health against the physical inventory.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

The targeted correction for A template status indicates configuration drift but a technician checks only the device's overall reachability indicator is: Use Central inventory, configuration and switch status views with device-level detail to distinguish reachability, compliance and hardware health. It reduces the risk that a portal showing a registered device is not proof its configuration is synchronized or that client-facing forwarding works.

E:

A separate operational validation for A template status indicates configuration drift but a technician checks only the device's overall reachability indicator is: A device-level audit reconciles correct serial number, software, config status and operational link health against the physical inventory. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This alternative concerns multicast group and receiver telemetry interpretation; its associated risk is: Excess replication can degrade other applications while loss of membership state can silently stop authorized streams. The observed case A template status indicates configuration drift but a technician checks only the device's overall reachability indicator requires the more specific central device health and inventory interpretation control. The targeted action is: Use Central inventory, configuration and switch status views with device-level detail to distinguish reachability, compliance and hardware health.

C:

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 A template status indicates configuration drift but a technician checks only the device's overall reachability indicator requires the more specific central device health and inventory interpretation control. The targeted action is: Use Central inventory, configuration and switch status views with device-level detail to distinguish reachability, compliance and hardware health.

D:

This alternative concerns network health dashboards and time-series baseline; its associated risk is: An average bandwidth graph can conceal short congestion bursts and misleading seasonal comparisons. The observed case A template status indicates configuration drift but a technician checks only the device's overall reachability indicator requires the more specific central device health and inventory interpretation control. The targeted action is: Use Central inventory, configuration and switch status views with device-level detail to distinguish reachability, compliance and hardware health.

Question 721

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: An OSPF neighbor alternates between states and brief campus outages coincide with each transition. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. Which change best addresses the observed switching requirement?

  1. Interpret OSPF/BGP neighbor states, selected route prefixes and next-hop changes before troubleshooting downstream application latency.
  2. Interpret VSX peer, inter-switch link, keepalive, synchronization and multichassis LAG indicators together instead of relying on one peer's health.
  3. Monitor VSF conductor, member presence, ring or chain status and per-member uplinks to recognize degraded access availability.
  4. Track IGMP membership, querier availability and multicast forwarding counters to distinguish legitimate traffic from flooding.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The decisive observed condition is: An OSPF neighbor alternates between states and brief campus outages coincide with each transition. The appropriate switching action is: Interpret OSPF/BGP neighbor states, selected route prefixes and next-hop changes before troubleshooting downstream application latency. It addresses the risk that a session-up metric alone can hide missing or rejected prefixes, and route churn can cause sporadic traffic loss. Confirm with: A route-health trial ties expected adjacencies and advertised/received prefixes to successful bidirectional probes.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This alternative concerns vsx pair health and isl keepalive dashboard; its associated risk is: An apparently healthy primary switch can hide a degraded secondary path that will fail under maintenance. The observed case An OSPF neighbor alternates between states and brief campus outages coincide with each transition requires the more specific route-table neighbor and path change monitoring control. The targeted action is: Interpret OSPF/BGP neighbor states, selected route prefixes and next-hop changes before troubleshooting downstream application latency.

C:

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 An OSPF neighbor alternates between states and brief campus outages coincide with each transition requires the more specific route-table neighbor and path change monitoring control. The targeted action is: Interpret OSPF/BGP neighbor states, selected route prefixes and next-hop changes before troubleshooting downstream application latency.

D:

The observed case An OSPF neighbor alternates between states and brief campus outages coincide with each transition requires the more specific route-table neighbor and path change monitoring control. The targeted action is: Interpret OSPF/BGP neighbor states, selected route prefixes and next-hop changes before troubleshooting downstream application latency.

Question 722

An engineer investigates: An OSPF neighbor alternates between states and brief campus outages coincide with each transition. What network observation should the team require before approving completion?

  1. A measurement shows subscribers receive their requested group and nonmembers do not receive unwanted multicast flooding.
  2. A stack event test alerts on lost member or link and confirms all expected ports return after recovery.
  3. A route-health trial ties expected adjacencies and advertised/received prefixes to successful bidirectional probes.
  4. A controlled peer-failure rehearsal confirms expected monitored state transitions and continued gateway and application reachability.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The independent acceptance evidence for An OSPF neighbor alternates between states and brief campus outages coincide with each transition is: A route-health trial ties expected adjacencies and advertised/received prefixes to successful bidirectional probes. It tests whether the team has actually implemented: Interpret OSPF/BGP neighbor states, selected route prefixes and next-hop changes before troubleshooting downstream application latency. An enabled interface or saved configuration by itself is not evidence of complete service recovery.

The observed case A BGP session is established but an updated policy withdraws a critical branch subnet requires the more specific route-table neighbor and path change monitoring control. The targeted action is: Interpret OSPF/BGP neighbor states, selected route prefixes and next-hop changes before troubleshooting downstream application latency.

Question 724

The switch operations team reports: A BGP session is established but an updated policy withdraws a critical branch subnet. Which consequence explains why the described network state is unsuitable?

  1. A session-up metric alone can hide missing or rejected prefixes, and route churn can cause sporadic traffic loss.
  2. An average bandwidth graph can conceal short congestion bursts and misleading seasonal comparisons.
