HP HPE7-A08 Practice Test 28

Question 270

A desk-side mini-switch is connected to a protected access port and an STP BPDU arrives. What feature should respond?

  1. Root bridge selection
  2. Root guard on controlled boundary
  3. MSTP region identity and revision
  4. BPDU guard on edge

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

BPDU protection handles a switching neighbor on an edge. Unexpected BPDUs on protected edge ports can trigger shutdown or protection action.

Incorrect Answers

A:

STP bridge priority and MAC decisions choose a root that shapes redundant forwarding topology. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid unauthorized Layer 2 topology extension.

B:

Root guard prevents an unexpected neighbor from replacing the intended root through that boundary. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid unauthorized Layer 2 topology extension.

C:

MSTP neighbors should match region name, revision and VLAN-to-instance mapping to belong to the same region. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid unauthorized Layer 2 topology extension.

Question 271

A compatible CX access stack shows one new switch missing because its VSF interface has not joined. Which membership setting is relevant?

  1. VSF member numbering and links
  2. VSF operational state verification
  3. Distributed uplinks across members
  4. VSF link redundancy

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

VSF links and IDs determine virtual stack participation. Supported members require correct VSF links, IDs and compatible stack hardware.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Stack member, link and role output confirms a healthy unified logical switch. But this does not address the case requirement to form the correct logical switch membership.

C:

Placing uplinks on different members improves resilience to one physical member outage. But this does not address the case requirement to form the correct logical switch membership.

D:

A redundant ring or supported link plan can reduce stack disruption after one member link fails. But this does not address the case requirement to form the correct logical switch membership.

Question 272

Two members both expect the active control role after a failover. What role architecture should be reviewed?

  1. VSF compatibility verification
  2. VSF link redundancy
  3. Distributed uplinks across members
  4. Commander and standby role planning

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

VSF provides coordinated commander/standby control roles. A VSF stack uses shared management with defined control roles and failover behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Model, software and supported link speeds must be checked against the platform stack matrix. But this does not address the case requirement to maintain a consistent management leader.

B:

A redundant ring or supported link plan can reduce stack disruption after one member link fails. But this does not address the case requirement to maintain a consistent management leader.

C:

Placing uplinks on different members improves resilience to one physical member outage. But this does not address the case requirement to maintain a consistent management leader.

Question 273

A linear access stack becomes partitioned when one intermember cable fails. Which topology improvement helps?

  1. VSF operational state verification
  2. Commander and standby role planning
  3. VSF link redundancy
  4. VSF member numbering and links

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A supported redundant ring reduces single stack-link failure exposure. A redundant ring or supported link plan can reduce stack disruption after one member link fails.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Stack member, link and role output confirms a healthy unified logical switch. But this does not address the case requirement to keep VSF connected after one link loss.

B:

A VSF stack uses shared management with defined control roles and failover behavior. But this does not address the case requirement to keep VSF connected after one link loss.

D:

Supported members require correct VSF links, IDs and compatible stack hardware. But this does not address the case requirement to keep VSF connected after one link loss.

Question 274

An engineer proposes mixing unsupported 6200 and 6300 models in one VSF stack. What must be checked?

  1. VSF operational state verification
  2. VSF compatibility verification
  3. Distributed uplinks across members
  4. VSF member numbering and links

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

VSF compatibility matrices constrain valid combinations. Model, software and supported link speeds must be checked against the platform stack matrix.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Stack member, link and role output confirms a healthy unified logical switch. But this does not address the case requirement to build a supported switch stack.

C:

Placing uplinks on different members improves resilience to one physical member outage. But this does not address the case requirement to build a supported switch stack.

D:

Supported members require correct VSF links, IDs and compatible stack hardware. But this does not address the case requirement to build a supported switch stack.

Question 275

Every upstream uplink leaves a single member of a four-member stack. What placement improves fault tolerance?

  1. Commander and standby role planning
  2. VSF operational state verification
  3. Distributed uplinks across members
  4. VSF member numbering and links

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Distributing paths across members avoids one-switch uplink dependence. Placing uplinks on different members improves resilience to one physical member outage.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A VSF stack uses shared management with defined control roles and failover behavior. But this does not address the case requirement to keep upstream connectivity after a member fails.

B:

Stack member, link and role output confirms a healthy unified logical switch. But this does not address the case requirement to keep upstream connectivity after a member fails.

D:

Supported members require correct VSF links, IDs and compatible stack hardware. But this does not address the case requirement to keep upstream connectivity after a member fails.

Question 276

A third member appears online in discovery but not in the virtual stack state. Which operational evidence matters?

  1. VSF link redundancy
  2. VSF compatibility verification
  3. Commander and standby role planning
  4. VSF operational state verification

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

VSF member and link status reveal actual membership. Stack member, link and role output confirms a healthy unified logical switch.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A redundant ring or supported link plan can reduce stack disruption after one member link fails. But this does not address the case requirement to verify a healthy logical stack.

B:

Model, software and supported link speeds must be checked against the platform stack matrix. But this does not address the case requirement to verify a healthy logical stack.

C:

A VSF stack uses shared management with defined control roles and failover behavior. But this does not address the case requirement to verify a healthy logical stack.

Question 277

An access VSF ring has one cable cut yet remains one logical switch via the other path. What design property enabled this?

  1. VSF compatibility verification
  2. VSF link redundancy
  3. Commander and standby role planning
  4. Distributed uplinks across members

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Redundant intermember links protect stack connectivity. A redundant ring or supported link plan can reduce stack disruption after one member link fails.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Model, software and supported link speeds must be checked against the platform stack matrix. But this does not address the case requirement to survive a single VSF link failure.

C:

A VSF stack uses shared management with defined control roles and failover behavior. But this does not address the case requirement to survive a single VSF link failure.

D:

Placing uplinks on different members improves resilience to one physical member outage. But this does not address the case requirement to survive a single VSF link failure.

Question 278

An application loses uplink service when one VSF member fails despite healthy remaining members. What implementation detail was weak?

  1. VSF compatibility verification
  2. Commander and standby role planning
  3. VSF member numbering and links
  4. Distributed uplinks across members

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

All uplinks were concentrated in one physical failure domain. Placing uplinks on different members improves resilience to one physical member outage.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Model, software and supported link speeds must be checked against the platform stack matrix. But this does not address the case requirement to place redundant uplinks on independent stack members.

B:

A VSF stack uses shared management with defined control roles and failover behavior. But this does not address the case requirement to place redundant uplinks on independent stack members.

C:

Supported members require correct VSF links, IDs and compatible stack hardware. But this does not address the case requirement to place redundant uplinks on independent stack members.

Question 279

A new device uses an unsupported VSF link speed and cannot join an existing stack. What compatibility factor needs correction?

  1. VSF member numbering and links
  2. VSF link redundancy
  3. Commander and standby role planning
  4. VSF compatibility verification

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

VSF member links require supported speeds and modules. Model, software and supported link speeds must be checked against the platform stack matrix.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Supported members require correct VSF links, IDs and compatible stack hardware. But this does not address the case requirement to comply with the selected platform's VSF capabilities.

B:

A redundant ring or supported link plan can reduce stack disruption after one member link fails. But this does not address the case requirement to comply with the selected platform's VSF capabilities.

C:

A VSF stack uses shared management with defined control roles and failover behavior. But this does not address the case requirement to comply with the selected platform's VSF capabilities.

Question 280

A VSX pair has no working ISL, causing peer state updates to stop. What link is central to normal synchronization?

  1. VSX configuration synchronization
  2. VSX status and peer health check
  3. Independent keepalive path
  4. Inter-switch link (ISL)

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The inter-switch link carries VSX coordination traffic. The VSX ISL carries peer communication and synchronization and can forward traffic where required.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Selected compatible features are synchronized or coordinated across VSX peers, not automatically every possible setting. But this does not address the case requirement to restore peer synchronization and traffic handling.

B:

Operational outputs show ISL, keepalive, synchronization and multi-chassis LAG states. But this does not address the case requirement to restore peer synchronization and traffic handling.

C:

VSX keepalive checks peer liveness over an appropriately designed routed path to help discriminate failures. But this does not address the case requirement to restore peer synchronization and traffic handling.
