HP HPE7-A01 Practice Test 47

Question 460

A campus switch has an SVI for each department but devices cannot reach another department even though both VLANs are healthy. What should the network engineer do to address this requirement?

  1. Remove or update the stale narrow route so the intended route can win
  2. Enable appropriate inter-VLAN routing and permit only the intended Layer 3 access
  3. Use an appropriate internal BGP path-preference policy and inspect best-path selection
  4. Ensure each loopback has valid underlay reachability and the intended source address

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Different subnets need a routed path and authorized policy for communication. Working local VLAN membership alone does not establish inter-subnet forwarding.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Longest-prefix match can override a broader learned route. By contrast, different subnets need a routed path and authorized policy for communication.

C:

Local BGP attributes can steer the campus's own egress preference. It would not resolve the documented symptom; different subnets need a routed path and authorized policy for communication.

D:

Stable BGP endpoint identity still depends on forwarding routes. In this situation, different subnets need a routed path and authorized policy for communication.

Question 461

A campus switch has an SVI for each department but devices cannot reach another department even though both VLANs are healthy. What should the team inspect to confirm the result?

  1. Capture RA contents and inspect client default-router entries
  2. Trace source gateway, route lookup and a permitted destination test
  3. Capture hello traffic and inspect interface VLAN tagging and OSPF logs
  4. Inspect hello packets and neighbor logs for area mismatch

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Working local VLAN membership alone does not establish inter-subnet forwarding. Different subnets need a routed path and authorized policy for communication.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The actual messages reveal whether route discovery is succeeding. The relevant technical distinction is that working local VLAN membership alone does not establish inter-subnet forwarding.

C:

The evidence separates missing frames from protocol mismatch. It would not resolve the documented symptom; working local VLAN membership alone does not establish inter-subnet forwarding.

D:

A direct capture identifies the advertised area values. By contrast, working local VLAN membership alone does not establish inter-subnet forwarding.

Question 462

A campus switch has an SVI for each department but devices cannot reach another department even though both VLANs are healthy. Which misconception is most likely to obstruct a correct fix?

  1. Increase administrative distance to force a router to enter Full state
  2. Add static routes and assume the OSPF area mismatch is repaired
  3. Assume two active SVIs automatically allow all interdepartment traffic despite routing or policy restrictions
  4. Redistribute every connected VLAN into eBGP to avoid missing a subnet

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Layer 3 forwarding and access controls can still block sessions. Different subnets need a routed path and authorized policy for communication.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Route preference cannot repair neighbor negotiation. The relevant technical distinction is that layer 3 forwarding and access controls can still block sessions.

B:

Static forwarding can mask but not correct the broken adjacency. By contrast, layer 3 forwarding and access controls can still block sessions.

D:

This can disclose private guest and management networks. Here, however, layer 3 forwarding and access controls can still block sessions.

Question 463

A campus switch has an SVI for each department but devices cannot reach another department even though both VLANs are healthy. What precaution is most important before the change is expanded?

  1. Maintain a reviewed route-leak matrix and regression tests
  2. Review overlapping prefixes and preserve rollback if a dependent application remains
  3. Test both approved and prohibited departmental flows after enabling routing
  4. Coordinate the area change across both sides and validate failover routes

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Routing changes must not accidentally expose restricted hosts. Working local VLAN membership alone does not establish inter-subnet forwarding.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Shared changes should not contaminate isolated routing tables. In this situation, routing changes must not accidentally expose restricted hosts.

B:

A single static exception may still be needed for a legacy service. The relevant technical distinction is that routing changes must not accidentally expose restricted hosts.

D:

One-sided routing changes can cause temporary loss of reachability. Here, however, routing changes must not accidentally expose restricted hosts.

Question 464

An access switch points all clients to a distribution gateway that has no route back to a newly added branch subnet. Which TWO actions together implement the required change and verify that it works? Choose TWO.

  1. Validate the intended backup after primary route withdrawal
  2. Trace a test session in both directions and check the destination route table
  3. Add the authorized return route or dynamic routing advertisement on the distribution layer
  4. Apply a reviewed inbound prefix list or route-map filter for that neighbor
  5. Correct route import/export rules and preserve the intended default per context

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

The missing return entry reveals why clients see timeouts. Successful forward traffic still requires a usable return path.

C:

Successful forward traffic still requires a usable return path. The missing return entry reveals why clients see timeouts.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A stored alternative should become usable under the expected failure. In this situation, route completeness should be tested as part of expansion.

D:

Import policy prevents unwanted external reachability information. Here, however, successful forward traffic still requires a usable return path.

E:

Imported defaults can redirect trusted traffic toward a less controlled network. It would not resolve the documented symptom; successful forward traffic still requires a usable return path.

Question 465

An access switch points all clients to a distribution gateway that has no route back to a newly added branch subnet. Which check most directly demonstrates the desired network behavior?

  1. Inspect advertised attributes and verify observed remote path preference
  2. Trace a test session in both directions and check the destination route table
  3. Capture hello traffic and inspect interface VLAN tagging and OSPF logs
  4. Compare OSPF path costs and the installed next hop for a representative prefix

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The missing return entry reveals why clients see timeouts. Successful forward traffic still requires a usable return path.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Local configuration does not guarantee how third-party ASes choose routes. It would not resolve the documented symptom; the missing return entry reveals why clients see timeouts.

C:

The evidence separates missing frames from protocol mismatch. In this situation, the missing return entry reveals why clients see timeouts.

D:

The route table verifies that the intended path wins. By contrast, the missing return entry reveals why clients see timeouts.

Question 466

An access switch points all clients to a distribution gateway that has no route back to a newly added branch subnet. Which assumption would be most misleading when investigating this situation?

  1. Assume AS-path prepending on advertisements solely controls the campus's own outbound path
  2. Change the access VLAN tag repeatedly even though the branch forward path is confirmed
  3. Change BGP local preference to repair OSPF database-description rejection
  4. Set an unconditional default advertisement and assume the internet never fails

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

VLAN changes do not create a missing upstream route. Successful forward traffic still requires a usable return path.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Prepending generally influences other networks' inbound decisions. By contrast, vLAN changes do not create a missing upstream route.

C:

BGP attributes are unrelated to OSPF MTU negotiation. It would not resolve the documented symptom; vLAN changes do not create a missing upstream route.

D:

Peers may blackhole all outbound traffic through a dead gateway. The relevant technical distinction is that vLAN changes do not create a missing upstream route.

Question 467

An access switch points all clients to a distribution gateway that has no route back to a newly added branch subnet. Which safeguard best reduces the deployment risk in this case?

  1. Validate approved prefixes and loop-prevention behavior before enabling new boundaries
  2. Validate inbound failover and provider filtering before changing advertisements
  3. Verify loss tolerance before enabling aggressive detection on production links
  4. Review all affected gateway route tables before adding another branch

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Route completeness should be tested as part of expansion. The missing return entry reveals why clients see timeouts.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A small filter error can affect multiple sites. The relevant technical distinction is that route completeness should be tested as part of expansion.

B:

Traffic engineering can be affected by external policies. Here, however, route completeness should be tested as part of expansion.

C:

BFD settings must not convert transient jitter into route outages. By contrast, route completeness should be tested as part of expansion.

Question 468

Two AOS-CX distribution switches form an OSPF adjacency but a connected user subnet is absent from the peer table. What is the most appropriate first technical change?

  1. Advertise the intended prefix into the correct OSPF area with appropriate filters
  2. Restrict redistribution with reviewed prefix policies and source tags
  3. Advertise a conditional or monitored default route using a supported mechanism
  4. Correct route import/export rules and preserve the intended default per context

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Adjacency does not imply every local route is eligible to be learned. The evidence distinguishes omitted advertisement from route preference.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Uncontrolled mutual redistribution can reintroduce and amplify routes. In this situation, adjacency does not imply every local route is eligible to be learned.

C:

The default should not persist when the upstream exit is unavailable. The relevant technical distinction is that adjacency does not imply every local route is eligible to be learned.

D:

Imported defaults can redirect trusted traffic toward a less controlled network. Here, however, adjacency does not imply every local route is eligible to be learned.

Question 469

Two AOS-CX distribution switches form an OSPF adjacency but a connected user subnet is absent from the peer table. Which observation would best verify that the intended behavior is working?

  1. Probe permitted DNS and denied server flows while reviewing imported VRF routes
  2. Inspect advertised attributes and verify observed remote path preference
  3. Compare multiple traffic flows and next-hop byte counters during the same period
  4. Compare link-state database entries, route filters and installed prefixes

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The evidence distinguishes omitted advertisement from route preference. Adjacency does not imply every local route is eligible to be learned.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Both results confirm correct import scope. It would not resolve the documented symptom; the evidence distinguishes omitted advertisement from route preference.

B:

Local configuration does not guarantee how third-party ASes choose routes. Here, however, the evidence distinguishes omitted advertisement from route preference.

C:

Flow-level evidence explains imbalance better than one speed test. In this situation, the evidence distinguishes omitted advertisement from route preference.

Question 470

Two AOS-CX distribution switches form an OSPF adjacency but a connected user subnet is absent from the peer table. Which belief about the configuration should the team reject?

  1. Assume an OSPF Full neighbor state proves every attached VLAN prefix is advertised
  2. Tune local preference before confirming the BGP TCP session can open
  3. Assume the staff firewall policy alone prevents every routing mistake after default import
  4. Assume AS-path prepending on advertisements solely controls the campus's own outbound path

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

OSPF can form adjacency while specific networks are filtered or excluded. Adjacency does not imply every local route is eligible to be learned.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Route attributes matter only after the session exchanges routes. It would not resolve the documented symptom; oSPF can form adjacency while specific networks are filtered or excluded.

C:

A wrong route can still disrupt or misroute permitted traffic. By contrast, oSPF can form adjacency while specific networks are filtered or excluded.

D:

Prepending generally influences other networks' inbound decisions. In this situation, oSPF can form adjacency while specific networks are filtered or excluded.
