Question 530
A change advisory for Baypoint Retail has two requirements: (1) deliver predictable east-west paths among multiple data-center racks, and (2) connect branch locations across a provider-operated geographic network. Which proposed plan satisfies both outcomes?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Both outcomes are covered: (1) Each leaf reaches other leaves through spine devices, reducing variable hop counts. (2) WAN connectivity links geographically separated LAN sites via a provider or overlay. Neither action is a substitute for the other.
Incorrect Answers
Neither step is the requested pair: Use the appropriate FF00::/8 multicast destination is for send an IPv6 packet to every member of a multicast group, and Recognize TCP SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK setup is for identify the transport three-way handshake behavior. IPv6 multicast addresses identify groups, unlike a broadcast address. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.
The first step covers (1), but the second addresses protect wireless payloads from unauthenticated eavesdropping. A protected WLAN uses authenticated key establishment and link encryption, not only SSID hiding. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.
The second step covers (2), but the first addresses separate access, aggregation, and backbone roles in a large campus. Separate tiers scale policy aggregation and fast backbone transport independently. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.
