Question 40
A stack's standby control member cannot take over after a failover drill because the new member has incompatible firmware. Which immediate engineering change most directly addresses this issue?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The underlying issue is that control-member version mismatch prevents stable participation in the intended logical stack. This intervention addresses that cause directly. A useful result to confirm is: all members join the stack and leadership failover completes without losing the remaining access members.
Incorrect Answers
This is suited to a different condition, such as when a VSF stack has members connected in a line, so one intermember cable failure isolates the last unit. The reported fault instead arises because control-member version mismatch prevents stable participation in the intended logical stack.
This is suited to a different condition, such as when a VSX deployment uses a keepalive route through the same physical links as its inter-switch link. The reported fault instead arises because control-member version mismatch prevents stable participation in the intended logical stack.
This is suited to a different condition, such as when a core switch keeps forwarding after a power supply is removed, but a maintenance exercise shows no power fault alarm reaches operations. The reported fault instead arises because control-member version mismatch prevents stable participation in the intended logical stack.
