HP HPE7-A08 Practice Test 57

Question 560

A branch reaches local subnets but has no default route for Internet-bound packets. What routing change fits?

  1. Correct OSPF peer area or authentication
  2. Repair missing static or default route
  3. Align SVI or interface addressing
  4. Restore interface or next-hop reachability

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Install the approved reachable default next hop. Add an authorized reachable next hop only for required destination prefixes.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Align adjacency prerequisites across the exact point-to-point or broadcast neighbor link. But this does not address the case requirement to forward destinations without a more-specific route.

C:

Correct inconsistent IP/mask values that defeat directly connected routes. But this does not address the case requirement to forward destinations without a more-specific route.

D:

A route cannot forward successfully if the selected next hop is unavailable. But this does not address the case requirement to forward destinations without a more-specific route.

Question 561

A firewall receives the campus summary but an edge filter removes one required management prefix. What should be updated?

  1. Align SVI or interface addressing
  2. Validate both forward and return paths
  3. Restore interface or next-hop reachability
  4. Fix route filtering or export omission

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Adjust only the relevant routing policy entry. Permit necessary prefixes without indiscriminately leaking unrelated networks.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Correct inconsistent IP/mask values that defeat directly connected routes. But this does not address the case requirement to restore approved prefix advertisement.

B:

Two-way connectivity requires working return routes and symmetric policy when applicable. But this does not address the case requirement to restore approved prefix advertisement.

C:

A route cannot forward successfully if the selected next hop is unavailable. But this does not address the case requirement to restore approved prefix advertisement.

Question 562

The route table points to a next-hop router whose interface is administratively down. What infrastructure fix precedes policy edits?

  1. Restore interface or next-hop reachability
  2. Fix route filtering or export omission
  3. Correct OSPF peer area or authentication
  4. Align SVI or interface addressing

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Restore next-hop reachability before altering selection policy. A route cannot forward successfully if the selected next hop is unavailable.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Permit necessary prefixes without indiscriminately leaking unrelated networks. But this does not address the case requirement to make the selected forwarding neighbor usable.

C:

Align adjacency prerequisites across the exact point-to-point or broadcast neighbor link. But this does not address the case requirement to make the selected forwarding neighbor usable.

D:

Correct inconsistent IP/mask values that defeat directly connected routes. But this does not address the case requirement to make the selected forwarding neighbor usable.

Question 563

The core SVI address is in 10.20.2.0/24, but hosts are in 10.20.3.0/24. What should be aligned?

  1. Validate both forward and return paths
  2. Align SVI or interface addressing
  3. Repair missing static or default route
  4. Fix route filtering or export omission

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Correct the routed interface addressing plan. Correct inconsistent IP/mask values that defeat directly connected routes.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Two-way connectivity requires working return routes and symmetric policy when applicable. But this does not address the case requirement to give users a reachable local gateway.

C:

Add an authorized reachable next hop only for required destination prefixes. But this does not address the case requirement to give users a reachable local gateway.

D:

Permit necessary prefixes without indiscriminately leaking unrelated networks. But this does not address the case requirement to give users a reachable local gateway.

Question 564

Packets reach a remote server but replies follow an absent route, causing sessions to time out. What test and fix are needed?

  1. Align SVI or interface addressing
  2. Validate both forward and return paths
  3. Fix route filtering or export omission
  4. Correct OSPF peer area or authentication

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Verify return-path routing and the matching security policy. Two-way connectivity requires working return routes and symmetric policy when applicable.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Correct inconsistent IP/mask values that defeat directly connected routes. But this does not address the case requirement to restore two-way IP communication.

C:

Permit necessary prefixes without indiscriminately leaking unrelated networks. But this does not address the case requirement to restore two-way IP communication.

D:

Align adjacency prerequisites across the exact point-to-point or broadcast neighbor link. But this does not address the case requirement to restore two-way IP communication.

Question 565

An OSPF adjacency rejects hellos after one switch changed its authentication key. Which targeted correction is appropriate?

  1. Validate both forward and return paths
  2. Fix route filtering or export omission
  3. Restore interface or next-hop reachability
  4. Correct OSPF peer area or authentication

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Synchronize the neighbor authentication configuration. Align adjacency prerequisites across the exact point-to-point or broadcast neighbor link.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Two-way connectivity requires working return routes and symmetric policy when applicable. But this does not address the case requirement to restore accepted OSPF exchange.

B:

Permit necessary prefixes without indiscriminately leaking unrelated networks. But this does not address the case requirement to restore accepted OSPF exchange.

C:

A route cannot forward successfully if the selected next hop is unavailable. But this does not address the case requirement to restore accepted OSPF exchange.

Question 566

One needed subnet is omitted from a route map, but the team proposes permitting every prefix. What is safer?

  1. Correct OSPF peer area or authentication
  2. Align SVI or interface addressing
  3. Validate both forward and return paths
  4. Fix route filtering or export omission

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Add the precise intended prefix rule instead of opening all. Permit necessary prefixes without indiscriminately leaking unrelated networks.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Align adjacency prerequisites across the exact point-to-point or broadcast neighbor link. But this does not address the case requirement to restore route reachability without leaking unrelated routes.

B:

Correct inconsistent IP/mask values that defeat directly connected routes. But this does not address the case requirement to restore route reachability without leaking unrelated routes.

C:

Two-way connectivity requires working return routes and symmetric policy when applicable. But this does not address the case requirement to restore route reachability without leaking unrelated routes.

Question 567

A remote site can send packets to the datacenter but gets no replies; route-policy output confirms its source subnet is omitted from the datacenter-facing advertisement. Which targeted correction is appropriate?

  1. Repair missing static or default route
  2. Restore interface or next-hop reachability
  3. Correct OSPF peer area or authentication
  4. Fix route filtering or export omission

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Add the approved remote subnet to the applicable route-export policy without advertising unrelated prefixes. Permit necessary prefixes without indiscriminately leaking unrelated networks.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Add an authorized reachable next hop only for required destination prefixes. But this does not address the case requirement to restore the specifically omitted reverse-route advertisement.

B:

A route cannot forward successfully if the selected next hop is unavailable. But this does not address the case requirement to restore the specifically omitted reverse-route advertisement.

C:

Align adjacency prerequisites across the exact point-to-point or broadcast neighbor link. But this does not address the case requirement to restore the specifically omitted reverse-route advertisement.

Question 568

Two sides of a proposed LACP link are passive and no aggregate forms. What is the least-invasive fix?

  1. Verify aggregate and stack state postchange
  2. Reconnect valid VSF links
  3. Align bundle member attributes
  4. Activate LACP negotiation where needed

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Configure one peer to initiate negotiation. At least one LACP peer should initiate negotiation when a dynamic bundle is intended.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Confirm collecting/distributing LACP flags and correct VSF roles before closing. But this does not address the case requirement to create a compatible active/passive or active/active LAG.

B:

Restore the supported intermember connectivity and verify stack membership. But this does not address the case requirement to create a compatible active/passive or active/active LAG.

C:

Normalize native/allowed VLAN, speed and supported policies across member links. But this does not address the case requirement to create a compatible active/passive or active/active LAG.

Question 569

A member was removed from a LAG after a trunk VLAN was changed only on that port. What correction is needed?

  1. Verify aggregate and stack state postchange
  2. Activate LACP negotiation where needed
  3. Align bundle member attributes
  4. Validate VSF member compatibility

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Restore member attribute consistency. Normalize native/allowed VLAN, speed and supported policies across member links.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Confirm collecting/distributing LACP flags and correct VSF roles before closing. But this does not address the case requirement to form a uniform configured link bundle.

B:

At least one LACP peer should initiate negotiation when a dynamic bundle is intended. But this does not address the case requirement to form a uniform configured link bundle.

D:

Check model, software and permitted link speeds before joining an additional member. But this does not address the case requirement to form a uniform configured link bundle.

Question 570

A VSF stack split after a cable was accidentally unplugged between members. What physical action is warranted?

  1. Activate LACP negotiation where needed
  2. Reconnect valid VSF links
  3. Validate VSF member compatibility
  4. Distribute upstream uplinks across members

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Restore the supported intermember link. Restore the supported intermember connectivity and verify stack membership.

Incorrect Answers

A:

At least one LACP peer should initiate negotiation when a dynamic bundle is intended. But this does not address the case requirement to rejoin intended VSF members.

C:

Check model, software and permitted link speeds before joining an additional member. But this does not address the case requirement to rejoin intended VSF members.

D:

Place redundant links on independent physical stack members to reduce shared-failure exposure. But this does not address the case requirement to rejoin intended VSF members.
