HP HPE7-A01 Practice Test 19

Question 180

A pair of distribution switches is designed with active gateways but an uplink failure strands half of the access layer. What precaution is most important before the change is expanded?

  1. Run a controlled single-peer maintenance with a rollback and stop criteria
  2. Replace an unsupported optic in a maintenance window and verify a safe recovery sequence
  3. Document independent power, diverse fiber paths and recovery ownership
  4. Test upstream dependency failure independently of chassis failure

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Multiple failure modes expose missing redundancy paths. A responsive local gateway can coexist with a broken WAN route.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A staged operation prevents simultaneous loss of both forwarding planes. In this situation, multiple failure modes expose missing redundancy paths.

B:

A partially degraded peer pair can behave unpredictably under another failure. By contrast, multiple failure modes expose missing redundancy paths.

C:

True resilience removes shared physical points of failure. It would not resolve the documented symptom; multiple failure modes expose missing redundancy paths.

Question 181

A finance VLAN reaches a lab access port after an uplink trunk was widened during maintenance. Which configuration decision most directly resolves the situation?

  1. Restrict the trunk allowed-VLAN list and correct access-port membership
  2. Align LACP active/passive modes and bundle membership on both endpoints
  3. Use validated DHCP snooping bindings with dynamic ARP inspection where supported
  4. Restore the intended untagged VLAN or explicit tagged management transport

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

VLAN propagation should follow approved segmentation rather than every available tag. Observed Layer 2 propagation identifies where the boundary is lost.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Negotiation and common aggregation parameters are needed for a functional LAG. By contrast, vLAN propagation should follow approved segmentation rather than every available tag.

C:

A binding table can be used to reject forged address-to-MAC claims. It would not resolve the documented symptom; vLAN propagation should follow approved segmentation rather than every available tag.

D:

Untagged management frames must land in the proper VLAN at both link ends. The relevant technical distinction is that vLAN propagation should follow approved segmentation rather than every available tag.

Question 182

A finance VLAN reaches a lab access port after an uplink trunk was widened during maintenance. Which check most directly demonstrates the desired network behavior?

  1. Inspect tagged uplink frames and MAC learning for the finance VLAN on the lab switch
  2. Compare traffic counters and storm-control events before and after a controlled burst
  3. Capture gateway ARP replies and verify intended active/standby or active-gateway behavior
  4. Connect an authorized phone and PC, then a third test device, and observe violation behavior

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Observed Layer 2 propagation identifies where the boundary is lost. VLAN propagation should follow approved segmentation rather than every available tag.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The threshold must catch abnormal traffic without suppressing normal discovery. Here, however, observed Layer 2 propagation identifies where the boundary is lost.

C:

The MAC and virtual-address state explain competing replies. By contrast, observed Layer 2 propagation identifies where the boundary is lost.

D:

Both acceptance and rejection establish the effective limit. The relevant technical distinction is that observed Layer 2 propagation identifies where the boundary is lost.

Question 183

A finance VLAN reaches a lab access port after an uplink trunk was widened during maintenance. Which TWO actions together implement the required change and verify that it works? Choose TWO.

  1. Restrict the trunk allowed-VLAN list and correct access-port membership
  2. Assess narrowing L2 domains or routing at distribution boundaries
  3. Document known exceptions such as docks and replacement NICs
  4. Check creation of the VLAN and its permitted status on each relevant trunk
  5. Inspect tagged uplink frames and MAC learning for the finance VLAN on the lab switch

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

VLAN propagation should follow approved segmentation rather than every available tag. Observed Layer 2 propagation identifies where the boundary is lost.

E:

Observed Layer 2 propagation identifies where the boundary is lost. VLAN propagation should follow approved segmentation rather than every available tag.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Smaller broadcast scopes reduce unnecessary flooding across the campus. In this situation, vLAN propagation should follow approved segmentation rather than every available tag.

C:

Asset changes need a controlled authorization path. Here, however, negative testing guards against accidental sensitive VLAN expansion.

D:

An allowed tag that does not exist or propagate cannot forward frames. The relevant technical distinction is that vLAN propagation should follow approved segmentation rather than every available tag.

Question 184

A finance VLAN reaches a lab access port after an uplink trunk was widened during maintenance. Which safeguard best reduces the deployment risk in this case?

  1. Record the faulted patch-port and confirm the cable path meets distance requirements
  2. Size bundles for realistic traffic patterns and surviving member capacity
  3. Verify the DHCP relay and any authorized server uplinks before enabling globally
  4. Perform a denied cross-VLAN test and peer-review future trunk changes

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Negative testing guards against accidental sensitive VLAN expansion. Observed Layer 2 propagation identifies where the boundary is lost.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Recurring bad media should not be treated as a software mystery. It would not resolve the documented symptom; negative testing guards against accidental sensitive VLAN expansion.

B:

Aggregate advertised rate does not guarantee every individual application's speed. Here, however, negative testing guards against accidental sensitive VLAN expansion.

C:

Inaccurate trust boundaries can stop all address assignment. In this situation, negative testing guards against accidental sensitive VLAN expansion.

Question 185

An access edge sees rapid MAC flapping between two switch ports after a cabling change. What is the most appropriate first technical change?

  1. Correct the LLDP management address advertisement and intended management context
  2. Investigate a Layer 2 loop and restore a supported spanning-tree or LAG design
  3. Inspect trunk allowed-VLAN lists and native/tagged state at both switches
  4. Align LACP active/passive modes and bundle membership on both endpoints

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

MAC movement can signal circulating frames across parallel physical links. The sequence helps localize the loop rather than chase an endpoint.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Neighbor inventory should reflect reachable approved management endpoints. In this situation, mAC movement can signal circulating frames across parallel physical links.

C:

Missing one VLAN on an otherwise healthy trunk isolates the problem to membership. It would not resolve the documented symptom; mAC movement can signal circulating frames across parallel physical links.

D:

Negotiation and common aggregation parameters are needed for a functional LAG. By contrast, mAC movement can signal circulating frames across parallel physical links.

Question 186

An access edge sees rapid MAC flapping between two switch ports after a cabling change. Which observation would best verify that the intended behavior is working?

  1. Correlate MAC movement, STP topology events and offending physical connections
  2. Inspect active members, hashed session paths and tagged-frame counters under load
  3. Compare member interface state and MAC learning for affected versus working VLANs
  4. Check receiver joins, multicast routing state and per-VLAN forwarding

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The sequence helps localize the loop rather than chase an endpoint. MAC movement can signal circulating frames across parallel physical links.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Per-member evidence helps isolate a bad link or mismatch. It would not resolve the documented symptom; the sequence helps localize the loop rather than chase an endpoint.

C:

Focused comparison reveals the local forwarding defect. By contrast, the sequence helps localize the loop rather than chase an endpoint.

D:

Membership alone does not prove end-to-end multicast delivery. The relevant technical distinction is that the sequence helps localize the loop rather than chase an endpoint.

Question 187

An access edge sees rapid MAC flapping between two switch ports after a cabling change. Which belief about the configuration should the team reject?

  1. Configure the same native VLAN differently at each end and ignore mismatch alarms
  2. Assume adding more IP routes will fix a MAC learning failure in the same VLAN
  3. Disable spanning tree globally so both cables forward at once
  4. Assume the old VLAN MAC table is instantly updated without any new traffic

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Removing loop prevention can amplify broadcast storms. MAC movement can signal circulating frames across parallel physical links.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Untagged traffic can enter a different VLAN after crossing the link. By contrast, removing loop prevention can amplify broadcast storms.

B:

Layer 3 route changes cannot correct a basic Layer 2 forwarding table problem. Here, however, removing loop prevention can amplify broadcast storms.

D:

Entries may persist until relearn or expiry. The relevant technical distinction is that removing loop prevention can amplify broadcast storms.

Question 188

An access edge sees rapid MAC flapping between two switch ports after a cabling change. What should be included in the rollout plan to limit a foreseeable failure?

  1. Limit multicast to intended receivers and test one source leaving the network
  2. Test each member independently before declaring the bundled uplink healthy
  3. Stage subnet/DHCP changes alongside network segmentation
  4. Isolate the newly connected link and reintroduce redundancy with a tested design

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A staged restoration protects the rest of the campus. The sequence helps localize the loop rather than chase an endpoint.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Uncontrolled multicast can consume shared uplink capacity. The relevant technical distinction is that a staged restoration protects the rest of the campus.

B:

A balanced bundle should not contain one defective path. Here, however, a staged restoration protects the rest of the campus.

C:

A routing redesign requires addressing and policy coordination. In this situation, a staged restoration protects the rest of the campus.

Question 189

A campus access switch connects to a distribution switch via two cables but the LAG remains down. What should the network engineer do to address this requirement?

  1. Restore the intended untagged VLAN or explicit tagged management transport
  2. Restrict the trunk allowed-VLAN list and correct access-port membership
  3. Align LACP active/passive modes and bundle membership on both endpoints
  4. Enable DHCP snooping with trusted uplinks and untrusted user access ports

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Negotiation and common aggregation parameters are needed for a functional LAG. Protocol state distinguishes incompatible bundling from a physical fault.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Untagged management frames must land in the proper VLAN at both link ends. In this situation, negotiation and common aggregation parameters are needed for a functional LAG.

B:

VLAN propagation should follow approved segmentation rather than every available tag. Here, however, negotiation and common aggregation parameters are needed for a functional LAG.

D:

Snooping can reject unauthorized server offers on client-facing interfaces. It would not resolve the documented symptom; negotiation and common aggregation parameters are needed for a functional LAG.

Question 190

A campus access switch connects to a distribution switch via two cables but the LAG remains down. What should the team inspect to confirm the result?

  1. Check receiver joins, multicast routing state and per-VLAN forwarding
  2. Connect an authorized phone and PC, then a third test device, and observe violation behavior
  3. Measure broadcast utilization and user performance before and after moving a pilot subnet
  4. Review partner system IDs, LACP member status and interface error counters

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Protocol state distinguishes incompatible bundling from a physical fault. Negotiation and common aggregation parameters are needed for a functional LAG.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Membership alone does not prove end-to-end multicast delivery. It would not resolve the documented symptom; protocol state distinguishes incompatible bundling from a physical fault.

B:

Both acceptance and rejection establish the effective limit. In this situation, protocol state distinguishes incompatible bundling from a physical fault.

C:

Improved L2 containment should produce measurable results. By contrast, protocol state distinguishes incompatible bundling from a physical fault.
