Question 760

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: A policy adds a strict-priority class and ordinary business traffic sees increased drops when many endpoints use it. Select TWO: a corrective switching action and separate evidence that the correction worked. (Select TWO.)

  1. Use multi-month traffic, port utilization, PoE demand, error history and switch support lifecycle data to prioritize upgrades.
  2. Interpret VSX peer, inter-switch link, keepalive, synchronization and multichassis LAG indicators together instead of relying on one peer's health.
  3. Interpret egress queue discards, classification and latency together to determine whether congestion policy meets voice and video needs.
  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

C:

The targeted correction for A policy adds a strict-priority class and ordinary business traffic sees increased drops when many endpoints use it is: Interpret egress queue discards, classification and latency together to determine whether congestion policy meets voice and video needs. It reduces the risk that a policy that looks configured can still starve sensitive flows because of wrong queue mapping or oversubscribed scheduling.

D:

A separate operational validation for A policy adds a strict-priority class and ordinary business traffic sees increased drops when many endpoints use it is: A load test measures class-level drops and user quality before and after an approved QoS change. 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 policy adds a strict-priority class and ordinary business traffic sees increased drops when many endpoints use it 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.

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 A policy adds a strict-priority class and ordinary business traffic sees increased drops when many endpoints use it 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.

E:

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 policy adds a strict-priority class and ordinary business traffic sees increased drops when many endpoints use it 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.

Question 761

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: A switch sees repeated failed administrator logins from a user VLAN that is not approved for management. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. Which change best addresses the observed switching requirement?

  1. Interpret VSX peer, inter-switch link, keepalive, synchronization and multichassis LAG indicators together instead of relying on one peer's health.
  2. Interpret OSPF/BGP neighbor states, selected route prefixes and next-hop changes before troubleshooting downstream application latency.
  3. Interpret interface administrative and operational state, negotiated speed, error counters and trend direction in context before taking action.
  4. Review AAA login, 802.1X denials, role changes and management access logs for abnormal patterns with privacy-aware escalation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The decisive observed condition is: A switch sees repeated failed administrator logins from a user VLAN that is not approved for management. The appropriate switching action is: Review AAA login, 802.1X denials, role changes and management access logs for abnormal patterns with privacy-aware escalation. It addresses the risk that a successful user session or high denial count alone cannot establish legitimacy or rule out an attack without correlation. Confirm with: A seeded unauthorized access attempt produces a traceable alert while a legitimate device continues to authenticate normally.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 switch sees repeated failed administrator logins from a user VLAN that is not approved for management requires the more specific security event and unauthorized management detection control. The targeted action is: Review AAA login, 802.1X denials, role changes and management access logs for abnormal patterns with privacy-aware escalation.

B:

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 A switch sees repeated failed administrator logins from a user VLAN that is not approved for management requires the more specific security event and unauthorized management detection control. The targeted action is: Review AAA login, 802.1X denials, role changes and management access logs for abnormal patterns with privacy-aware escalation.

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 switch sees repeated failed administrator logins from a user VLAN that is not approved for management requires the more specific security event and unauthorized management detection control. The targeted action is: Review AAA login, 802.1X denials, role changes and management access logs for abnormal patterns with privacy-aware escalation.

Question 762

An engineer investigates: A switch sees repeated failed administrator logins from a user VLAN that is not approved for management. Which verification proves the intended operational state rather than just a saved configuration?

  1. A measured trend and cross-check distinguish an actionable fault from normal transient changes and verify remediation.
  2. A seeded unauthorized access attempt produces a traceable alert while a legitimate device continues to authenticate normally.
  3. A controlled peer-failure rehearsal confirms expected monitored state transitions and continued gateway and application reachability.
  4. A route-health trial ties expected adjacencies and advertised/received prefixes to successful bidirectional probes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The independent acceptance evidence for A switch sees repeated failed administrator logins from a user VLAN that is not approved for management is: A seeded unauthorized access attempt produces a traceable alert while a legitimate device continues to authenticate normally. It tests whether the team has actually implemented: Review AAA login, 802.1X denials, role changes and management access logs for abnormal patterns with privacy-aware escalation. An enabled interface or saved configuration by itself is not evidence of complete service recovery.

Question 763

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: An access-control dashboard shows a sudden increase in rejected 802.1X devices after certificate expiration. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. What is the most defensible operational action before closing the network change?

  1. Track IGMP membership, querier availability and multicast forwarding counters to distinguish legitimate traffic from flooding.
  2. Interpret VSX peer, inter-switch link, keepalive, synchronization and multichassis LAG indicators together instead of relying on one peer's health.
  3. Correlate event timestamps, switch identity, severity and preceding change windows to determine the next operational action.
  4. Review AAA login, 802.1X denials, role changes and management access logs for abnormal patterns with privacy-aware escalation.
