Question 770

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: A building adds dozens of new cameras but the network team checks only available Ethernet port count, not PoE watts. Which TWO choices together provide the targeted remedy and independent validation? (Select TWO.)

  1. Correlate event timestamps, switch identity, severity and preceding change windows to determine the next operational action.
  2. A stack event test alerts on lost member or link and confirms all expected ports return after recovery.
  3. Use Central inventory, configuration and switch status views with device-level detail to distinguish reachability, compliance and hardware health.
  4. Use multi-month traffic, port utilization, PoE demand, error history and switch support lifecycle data to prioritize upgrades.
  5. A capacity plan identifies the binding resource, projected growth and the least disruptive model or uplink improvement.

Explanation

Correct Answers

D:

The targeted correction for A building adds dozens of new cameras but the network team checks only available Ethernet port count, not PoE watts is: Use multi-month traffic, port utilization, PoE demand, error history and switch support lifecycle data to prioritize upgrades. It reduces the risk that replacing switches only when average utilization spikes can miss power exhaustion, optics limitations and unsupported software risk.

E:

A separate operational validation for A building adds dozens of new cameras but the network team checks only available Ethernet port count, not PoE watts is: A capacity plan identifies the binding resource, projected growth and the least disruptive model or uplink improvement. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.
