Question 160

One switch interface negotiates 100M instead of required 1G after installation. What validation catches it?

  1. Operations and backup readiness test
  2. Layer 1 and interface verification
  3. Layer 3 neighbor and route validation
  4. Identity and policy access tests

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Physical status tests include negotiated operational speed. Confirm expected speed, duplex, optics, physical state and error counters.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Confirm alerts, logs, configuration archives and restoration before formal handover. But this does not address the case requirement to confirm link characteristics against the plan.

C:

Confirm adjacencies, route choices and end-to-end IP connectivity. But this does not address the case requirement to confirm link characteristics against the plan.

D:

Verify expected allow and deny outcomes for real endpoint roles. But this does not address the case requirement to confirm link characteristics against the plan.

Question 161

A standby distribution path works only after a 15-minute manual intervention, missing the SLA. What test exposes this?

  2. Layer 1 and interface verification
  3. Identity and policy access tests
  4. VLAN and Layer 2 reachability tests

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Timed failover testing measures actual recovery behavior. Intentionally remove one planned component to verify redundancy and convergence objectives.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Confirm expected speed, duplex, optics, physical state and error counters. But this does not address the case requirement to prove redundancy meets the recovery objective.

C:

Verify expected allow and deny outcomes for real endpoint roles. But this does not address the case requirement to prove redundancy meets the recovery objective.

D:

Verify tagging, MAC learning and loop-free paths for each required VLAN. But this does not address the case requirement to prove redundancy meets the recovery objective.

Question 162

A manager signs off without testing restores or syslog ingestion. Which remaining test class is needed?

  1. Operations and backup readiness test
  2. Identity and policy access tests
  3. Layer 1 and interface verification
  4. VLAN and Layer 2 reachability tests

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Management and recovery readiness must be verified. Confirm alerts, logs, configuration archives and restoration before formal handover.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Verify expected allow and deny outcomes for real endpoint roles. But this does not address the case requirement to ensure logging and recoverability are in place.

C:

Confirm expected speed, duplex, optics, physical state and error counters. But this does not address the case requirement to ensure logging and recoverability are in place.

D:

Verify tagging, MAC learning and loop-free paths for each required VLAN. But this does not address the case requirement to ensure logging and recoverability are in place.

Question 163

A switch is physically online but absent from the enterprise-owned Central inventory. What registration prerequisite should be checked?

  1. Validate device provisioning status
  2. Associate the correct site
  3. Register device inventory and subscription
  4. Choose supported firmware baseline

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Central must recognize the device under the correct account and entitlement. Devices need valid identity, ownership and applicable subscriptions before Central can manage them.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Onboarding should be verified through the observed device connection and applied configuration state. But this does not address the case requirement to associate an authorized switch with the managed inventory.

B:

Site assignment organizes location-based visibility and monitoring, separate from configuration grouping. But this does not address the case requirement to associate an authorized switch with the managed inventory.

D:

Firmware and feature availability must be validated against the chosen management workflow. But this does not address the case requirement to associate an authorized switch with the managed inventory.

Question 164

Ten CX access switches need one approved branch configuration pattern. Which construct should they join?

  1. Choose supported firmware baseline
  2. Validate device provisioning status
  3. Associate the correct site
  4. Assign Central configuration group

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A compatible Central group supplies the baseline configuration workflow. A group selects the appropriate configuration workflow and baseline applied to a member.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Firmware and feature availability must be validated against the chosen management workflow. But this does not address the case requirement to apply shared switch settings to new members.

B:

Onboarding should be verified through the observed device connection and applied configuration state. But this does not address the case requirement to apply shared switch settings to new members.

C:

Site assignment organizes location-based visibility and monitoring, separate from configuration grouping. But this does not address the case requirement to apply shared switch settings to new members.

Question 165

The regional NOC needs to filter health alerts by store location without changing switch policies. What assignment helps?

  1. Associate the correct site
  2. Choose supported firmware baseline
  3. Register device inventory and subscription
  4. Assign Central configuration group

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Site metadata organizes devices by their physical geography. Site assignment organizes location-based visibility and monitoring, separate from configuration grouping.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Firmware and feature availability must be validated against the chosen management workflow. But this does not address the case requirement to associate managed switches with location dashboards.

C:

Devices need valid identity, ownership and applicable subscriptions before Central can manage them. But this does not address the case requirement to associate managed switches with location dashboards.

D:

A group selects the appropriate configuration workflow and baseline applied to a member. But this does not address the case requirement to associate managed switches with location dashboards.

Question 166

A factory-default switch cannot contact its configured cloud management endpoint even though local interfaces work. What dependency is relevant?

  1. Validate device provisioning status
  2. Associate the correct site
  3. Register device inventory and subscription
  4. Ensure onboarding reachability

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Onboarding relies on management-path DNS and IP connectivity. A switch needs DNS, time and permitted connectivity to the management service when onboarding.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Onboarding should be verified through the observed device connection and applied configuration state. But this does not address the case requirement to reach the appropriate Central service.

B:

Site assignment organizes location-based visibility and monitoring, separate from configuration grouping. But this does not address the case requirement to reach the appropriate Central service.

C:

Devices need valid identity, ownership and applicable subscriptions before Central can manage them. But this does not address the case requirement to reach the appropriate Central service.

Question 167

Central shows a device as pending rather than configured after it was moved into a group. What should the installer inspect?
