Question 80

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: A network operator has no diagram showing which sites are affected if a distribution uplink fails. Select TWO: a corrective switching action and separate evidence that the correction worked. (Select TWO.)

  1. Define access, aggregation and core boundaries, link roles and failure domains before selecting redundancy and spanning-tree approaches.
  2. Specify supported SVI gateways, routed uplinks, static or dynamic routing and redundancy placement before implementation.
  3. Identify client VLAN boundaries, relay targets, routing and DHCP protection controls so hosts obtain addresses from authorized servers.
  4. A topology diagram and controlled fault injection identify which users and uplinks remain available after each expected component failure.
  5. A lab simulates one member loss and verifies the logical LAG remains up with expected capacity and forwarding.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

The targeted correction for A network operator has no diagram showing which sites are affected if a distribution uplink fails is: Define access, aggregation and core boundaries, link roles and failure domains before selecting redundancy and spanning-tree approaches. It reduces the risk that undocumented failure boundaries can turn an access-layer defect into a campus-wide event and obscure recovery responsibility.

D:

A separate operational validation for A network operator has no diagram showing which sites are affected if a distribution uplink fails is: A topology diagram and controlled fault injection identify which users and uplinks remain available after each expected component failure. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This alternative concerns inter-vlan routing and default gateway placement; its associated risk is: Placing IP gateways on the wrong layer can lead to asymmetric paths, duplicate addresses or traffic hairpinning. The observed case A network operator has no diagram showing which sites are affected if a distribution uplink fails requires the more specific campus topology and failure-domain planning control. The targeted action is: Define access, aggregation and core boundaries, link roles and failure domains before selecting redundancy and spanning-tree approaches.

C:

This alternative concerns dhcp relay and ip service planning; its associated risk is: A missing relay or permissive rogue-server path can leave new VLAN users disconnected or misconfigured. The observed case A network operator has no diagram showing which sites are affected if a distribution uplink fails requires the more specific campus topology and failure-domain planning control. The targeted action is: Define access, aggregation and core boundaries, link roles and failure domains before selecting redundancy and spanning-tree approaches.

E:

This alternative concerns lacp bandwidth and uplink resiliency planning; its associated risk is: A multi-chassis bundle planned without a supported peer technology can fail to aggregate or loop after partial failures. The observed case A network operator has no diagram showing which sites are affected if a distribution uplink fails requires the more specific campus topology and failure-domain planning control. The targeted action is: Define access, aggregation and core boundaries, link roles and failure domains before selecting redundancy and spanning-tree approaches.

Question 81

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: A visitor wireless VLAN is inadvertently allowed onto a restricted server aggregation trunk. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. Which change best addresses the observed switching requirement?

  1. Plan resilient management addressing, VRF separation, DNS, time, AAA and emergency access before connecting production uplinks.
  2. Map VLAN IDs, switchport tagging, Layer 3 gateways and traffic-policy boundaries to actual user and device populations.
  3. Define 802.1X, supported fallback, RADIUS connectivity and policy role assignment for endpoints before production rollout.
  4. Identify client VLAN boundaries, relay targets, routing and DHCP protection controls so hosts obtain addresses from authorized servers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The decisive observed condition is: A visitor wireless VLAN is inadvertently allowed onto a restricted server aggregation trunk. The appropriate switching action is: Map VLAN IDs, switchport tagging, Layer 3 gateways and traffic-policy boundaries to actual user and device populations. It addresses the risk that a reused VLAN ID or unplanned trunk allowance can bridge separated device classes or silently block a required service. Confirm with: A permitted test host reaches its gateway in the intended VLAN while cross-segment traffic follows the approved policy.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative concerns out-of-band management and management vrf design; its associated risk is: A network outage may become unrecoverable when the only management path follows the same failed control or data plane. The observed case A visitor wireless VLAN is inadvertently allowed onto a restricted server aggregation trunk requires the more specific vlan and subnet segmentation design control. The targeted action is: Map VLAN IDs, switchport tagging, Layer 3 gateways and traffic-policy boundaries to actual user and device populations.

C:

This alternative concerns wired network authentication and dynamic segmentation plan; its associated risk is: Unreviewed authentication fallbacks may lock out critical devices or grant a broad VLAN to unverified endpoints.

Question 82

An engineer investigates: A visitor wireless VLAN is inadvertently allowed onto a restricted server aggregation trunk. What network observation should the team require before approving completion?

  1. A permitted test host reaches its gateway in the intended VLAN while cross-segment traffic follows the approved policy.
  2. The NOC reaches the switch through its approved management path during a simulated production uplink failure.
  3. A new host receives the intended address scope, gateway and DNS from an approved server across the routed boundary.
  4. A role-based acceptance test authenticates a managed endpoint and denies or restricts an unknown device while logging the decision.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The independent acceptance evidence for A visitor wireless VLAN is inadvertently allowed onto a restricted server aggregation trunk is: A permitted test host reaches its gateway in the intended VLAN while cross-segment traffic follows the approved policy. It tests whether the team has actually implemented: Map VLAN IDs, switchport tagging, Layer 3 gateways and traffic-policy boundaries to actual user and device populations. An enabled interface or saved configuration by itself is not evidence of complete service recovery.
