Question 750

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: A routed multicast issue is incorrectly blamed on local IGMP snooping while PIM neighbor state is down. Which TWO choices together provide the targeted remedy and independent validation? (Select TWO.)

  1. Use multi-month traffic, port utilization, PoE demand, error history and switch support lifecycle data to prioritize upgrades.
  2. Track IGMP membership, querier availability and multicast forwarding counters to distinguish legitimate traffic from flooding.
  3. Interpret VSX peer, inter-switch link, keepalive, synchronization and multichassis LAG indicators together instead of relying on one peer's health.
  4. A load test measures class-level drops and user quality before and after an approved QoS change.
  5. A measurement shows subscribers receive their requested group and nonmembers do not receive unwanted multicast flooding.

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

The targeted correction for A routed multicast issue is incorrectly blamed on local IGMP snooping while PIM neighbor state is down is: Track IGMP membership, querier availability and multicast forwarding counters to distinguish legitimate traffic from flooding. It reduces the risk that excess replication can degrade other applications while loss of membership state can silently stop authorized streams.

E:

A separate operational validation for A routed multicast issue is incorrectly blamed on local IGMP snooping while PIM neighbor state is down is: A measurement shows subscribers receive their requested group and nonmembers do not receive unwanted multicast flooding. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative concerns capacity growth and hardware lifecycle interpretation; its associated risk is: Replacing switches only when average utilization spikes can miss power exhaustion, optics limitations and unsupported software risk. The observed case A routed multicast issue is incorrectly blamed on local IGMP snooping while PIM neighbor state is down requires the more specific multicast group and receiver telemetry interpretation control. The targeted action is: Track IGMP membership, querier availability and multicast forwarding counters to distinguish legitimate traffic from flooding.

C:

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 A routed multicast issue is incorrectly blamed on local IGMP snooping while PIM neighbor state is down requires the more specific multicast group and receiver telemetry interpretation control. The targeted action is: Track IGMP membership, querier availability and multicast forwarding counters to distinguish legitimate traffic from flooding.

D:

This alternative concerns qos drop queues and application service metrics; its associated risk is: A policy that looks configured can still starve sensitive flows because of wrong queue mapping or oversubscribed scheduling. The observed case A routed multicast issue is incorrectly blamed on local IGMP snooping while PIM neighbor state is down requires the more specific multicast group and receiver telemetry interpretation control. The targeted action is: Track IGMP membership, querier availability and multicast forwarding counters to distinguish legitimate traffic from flooding.

Question 751

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: A broadcast-like storm consumes uplink bandwidth because multicast streams were forwarded without membership control. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. Which response best satisfies the technical requirement without disrupting unrelated traffic?

  1. Compare current AOS-CX telemetry against a known healthy baseline and traffic time window rather than drawing conclusions from isolated graphs.
  2. Monitor VSF conductor, member presence, ring or chain status and per-member uplinks to recognize degraded access availability.
  3. Review AAA login, 802.1X denials, role changes and management access logs for abnormal patterns with privacy-aware escalation.
  4. Track IGMP membership, querier availability and multicast forwarding counters to distinguish legitimate traffic from flooding.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The decisive observed condition is: A broadcast-like storm consumes uplink bandwidth because multicast streams were forwarded without membership control. The appropriate switching action is: Track IGMP membership, querier availability and multicast forwarding counters to distinguish legitimate traffic from flooding. It addresses the risk that excess replication can degrade other applications while loss of membership state can silently stop authorized streams. Confirm with: A measurement shows subscribers receive their requested group and nonmembers do not receive unwanted multicast flooding.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 broadcast-like storm consumes uplink bandwidth because multicast streams were forwarded without membership control requires the more specific multicast group and receiver telemetry interpretation control. The targeted action is: Track IGMP membership, querier availability and multicast forwarding counters to distinguish legitimate traffic from flooding.

B:

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 A broadcast-like storm consumes uplink bandwidth because multicast streams were forwarded without membership control requires the more specific multicast group and receiver telemetry interpretation control. The targeted action is: Track IGMP membership, querier availability and multicast forwarding counters to distinguish legitimate traffic from flooding.

C:

This alternative concerns security event and unauthorized management detection; its associated risk is: A successful user session or high denial count alone cannot establish legitimacy or rule out an attack without correlation. The observed case A broadcast-like storm consumes uplink bandwidth because multicast streams were forwarded without membership control requires the more specific multicast group and receiver telemetry interpretation control. The targeted action is: Track IGMP membership, querier availability and multicast forwarding counters to distinguish legitimate traffic from flooding.

Question 752

The switch operations team reports: A broadcast-like storm consumes uplink bandwidth because multicast streams were forwarded without membership control. What is the most relevant operational exposure in this switching scenario?

  1. An average bandwidth graph can conceal short congestion bursts and misleading seasonal comparisons.
  2. Excess replication can degrade other applications while loss of membership state can silently stop authorized streams.
  3. A surviving logical stack address can conceal a missing member and hundreds of failed physical user ports.
  4. A successful user session or high denial count alone cannot establish legitimacy or rule out an attack without correlation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The direct operational failure mode is: Excess replication can degrade other applications while loss of membership state can silently stop authorized streams. It applies to the condition A broadcast-like storm consumes uplink bandwidth because multicast streams were forwarded without membership control. The suitable corrective action is: Track IGMP membership, querier availability and multicast forwarding counters to distinguish legitimate traffic from flooding. Independently validate using: A measurement shows subscribers receive their requested group and nonmembers do not receive unwanted multicast flooding.

Question 753

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: A voice queue reports high discards during backup traffic despite apparently correct DSCP marking. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. Which change best addresses the observed switching requirement?

  1. Correlate event timestamps, switch identity, severity and preceding change windows to determine the next operational action.
  2. Monitor VSF conductor, member presence, ring or chain status and per-member uplinks to recognize degraded access availability.
  3. Interpret egress queue discards, classification and latency together to determine whether congestion policy meets voice and video needs.
  4. Compare current AOS-CX telemetry against a known healthy baseline and traffic time window rather than drawing conclusions from isolated graphs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The decisive observed condition is: A voice queue reports high discards during backup traffic despite apparently correct DSCP marking. The appropriate switching action is: Interpret egress queue discards, classification and latency together to determine whether congestion policy meets voice and video needs. It addresses the risk that a policy that looks configured can still starve sensitive flows because of wrong queue mapping or oversubscribed scheduling. Confirm with: A load test measures class-level drops and user quality before and after an approved QoS change.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative concerns syslog severity timestamps and event context; its associated risk is: Incorrect device time or unfiltered log noise can hide the precise moment of a route failure or security incident. The observed case A voice queue reports high discards during backup traffic despite apparently correct DSCP marking requires the more specific qos drop queues and application service metrics control. The targeted action is: Interpret egress queue discards, classification and latency together to determine whether congestion policy meets voice and video needs.

The targeted action is: Interpret egress queue discards, classification and latency together to determine whether congestion policy meets voice and video needs.

Question 754

An engineer investigates: A voice queue reports high discards during backup traffic despite apparently correct DSCP marking. What network observation should the team require before approving completion?

  1. A load test measures class-level drops and user quality before and after an approved QoS change.
  2. Before/after trend data uses consistent time windows and shows whether measured user impact and relevant network counters improved.
  3. A test event is received with correct identity, timestamp, severity and a link to the affected switch and change.
  4. A stack event test alerts on lost member or link and confirms all expected ports return after recovery.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The independent acceptance evidence for A voice queue reports high discards during backup traffic despite apparently correct DSCP marking is: A load test measures class-level drops and user quality before and after an approved QoS change. It tests whether the team has actually implemented: Interpret egress queue discards, classification and latency together to determine whether congestion policy meets voice and video needs. An enabled interface or saved configuration by itself is not evidence of complete service recovery.

Question 755

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: A switch shows no interface errors but an application experiences latency from a congested egress queue. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. What is the most defensible operational action before closing the network change?

  1. Interpret VSX peer, inter-switch link, keepalive, synchronization and multichassis LAG indicators together instead of relying on one peer's health.
  2. Use Central inventory, configuration and switch status views with device-level detail to distinguish reachability, compliance and hardware health.
  3. Interpret egress queue discards, classification and latency together to determine whether congestion policy meets voice and video needs.
  4. Review AAA login, 802.1X denials, role changes and management access logs for abnormal patterns with privacy-aware escalation.
