Question 400

At the Birchhaven airport network, campus access switches develop inconsistent VLAN and AAA settings because each engineer uses personal commands. Which setting or practice should be reviewed in future?

  1. Review inventory accuracy as network sites and responsibilities change
  2. Check cooling and hardware alarms during routine site walks
  3. Trend multicast membership and RPF failure counts
  4. Compare switches to the baseline after every change window

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

For the Birchhaven airport network, this maintenance action preserves the fix: compare switches to the baseline after every change window. It should be revisited as the workload evolves.

Incorrect Answers

A:

poor ownership records delay approvals and root cause investigation after changes. The offered alternative applies that mechanism: Review inventory accuracy as network sites and responsibilities change. The reported facts point to a different controlling condition: configuration drift increases security exposure and incident uncertainty between otherwise similar sites. The alternative does not directly settle the required recurrence control.

B:

Check cooling and hardware alarms during routine site walks. Its technical scope is explained by: thermal faults can destabilize forwarding independent of network traffic congestion. In this question, the decisive issue is: configuration drift increases security exposure and incident uncertainty between otherwise similar sites. That is why the offered option is not the most direct recurrence control.

C:

The option states: Trend multicast membership and RPF failure counts. The source describes its associated mechanism as: multicast delivery depends on its own control and forwarding tables in addition to unicast routing, the required evidence must show that a monitored subscription test shows receiver memberships and source packets on the approved interface. By contrast, the current situation is governed by: configuration drift increases security exposure and incident uncertainty between otherwise similar sites. Choosing this alternative would leave the question’s specific recurrence control unresolved.

Question 401

At the Oakport school district, an operator edits production switch routing during business hours without a change record or backup. Which corrective action best meets the requirement?

  1. Require a documented change ticket pre-change archive peer review and feasible rollback plan
  2. Store encrypted configuration recovery copies in an independent approved offsite repository
  3. Correlate spanning-tree topology-change counters and root history to identify unexpected bridge transitions
  4. Tune compatible NAE rule thresholds windows and agent scope using baseline switch telemetry

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

This is the direct HPE Aruba wired switching remedy: require a documented change ticket pre-change archive peer review and feasible rollback plan. The observed risk is that uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration; a passing acceptance check would show that a change rehearsal records approved configuration differences and restores the previous state on demand. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Oakport school district.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The option states: Store encrypted configuration recovery copies in an independent approved offsite repository. The source describes its associated mechanism as: backups co-located with the failed site cannot support restoration after a regional disaster, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. By contrast, the current situation is governed by: uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration; a passing acceptance check would show that a change rehearsal records approved configuration differences and restores the previous state on demand. Choosing this alternative would leave the question’s specific implementation unresolved.

C:

Correlate spanning-tree topology-change counters and root history to identify unexpected bridge transitions. This option is based on the following distinct technical behavior: frequent root movement can cause temporary forwarding reconvergence even when no interface permanently fails. The present question instead depends on this mechanism: uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration; a passing acceptance check would show that a change rehearsal records approved configuration differences and restores the previous state on demand. That difference matters for the requested implementation.

D:

it requires the team to review NAE agent performance and false-alert rates quarterly. The offered alternative applies that mechanism: Tune compatible NAE rule thresholds windows and agent scope using baseline switch telemetry. The reported facts point to a different controlling condition: uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration; a passing acceptance check would show that a change rehearsal records approved configuration differences and restores the previous state on demand. The alternative does not directly settle the required implementation.

Question 402

At the Oakport school district, an operator edits production switch routing during business hours without a change record or backup. Which underlying issue most directly explains this situation?

  1. Uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration
  2. A backup from different hardware or release cannot be assumed directly reusable
  3. An alert without appropriate duration or threshold generates noise rather than useful incident signals
  4. API resource version availability can differ between AOS-CX software releases and platforms

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The evidence indicates that uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration. The appropriate response is to require a documented change ticket pre-change archive peer review and feasible rollback plan and demonstrate that a change rehearsal records approved configuration differences and restores the previous state on demand. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Oakport school district.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A backup from different hardware or release cannot be assumed directly reusable. The present question instead depends on this mechanism: uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration. That difference matters for the requested root-cause explanation.

C:

an alert without appropriate duration or threshold generates noise rather than useful incident signals, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. The offered alternative applies that mechanism: An alert without appropriate duration or threshold generates noise rather than useful incident signals. The reported facts point to a different controlling condition: uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration. The alternative does not directly settle the required root-cause explanation.

D:

API resource version availability can differ between AOS-CX software releases and platforms. In this question, the decisive issue is: uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration. That is why the offered option is not the most direct root-cause explanation.

Question 403

At the Oakport school district, an operator edits production switch routing during business hours without a change record or backup. What evidence would justify considering this concern addressed?

  1. A change rehearsal records approved configuration differences and restores the previous state on demand
  2. A replacement lab device restores the required network state from the latest approved backup
  3. The monitor detects a removed member and reports reduced aggregate capacity
  4. A monitored subscription test shows receiver memberships and source packets on the approved interface

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

This tests the real business behavior: a change rehearsal records approved configuration differences and restores the previous state on demand. It specifically checks whether the risk that uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration has been reduced. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Oakport school district.

Incorrect Answers

B:

a switch running configuration cannot be reconstructed reliably after hardware loss without an archived copy, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. The offered alternative applies that mechanism: A replacement lab device restores the required network state from the latest approved backup. The reported facts point to a different controlling condition: uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration. The alternative does not directly settle the required acceptance evidence.

C:

The monitor detects a removed member and reports reduced aggregate capacity. Its technical scope is explained by: a partially degraded aggregate can silently lose redundancy and throughput while reporting operational state, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. In this question, the decisive issue is: uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration. That is why the offered option is not the most direct acceptance evidence.

D:

The option states: A monitored subscription test shows receiver memberships and source packets on the approved interface. The source describes its associated mechanism as: multicast delivery depends on its own control and forwarding tables in addition to unicast routing, the required evidence must show that a monitored subscription test shows receiver memberships and source packets on the approved interface. By contrast, the current situation is governed by: uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration. Choosing this alternative would leave the question’s specific acceptance evidence unresolved.

Question 404

At the Oakport school district, an operator edits production switch routing during business hours without a change record or backup. How should the organization sustain the improvement?

  1. Keep platform migration mappings in backup runbooks
  2. Review flap counts and hello processing after network changes
  3. Audit configuration changes against approved work orders monthly
  4. Review NAE agent performance and false-alert rates quarterly

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The continuing safeguard is to audit configuration changes against approved work orders monthly. It helps avoid the original condition: uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Oakport school district.

Incorrect Answers

A:

a backup from different hardware or release cannot be assumed directly reusable, the required evidence must show that a test restore identifies unsupported features and re-establishes intended forwarding. The offered alternative applies that mechanism: Keep platform migration mappings in backup runbooks. The reported facts point to a different controlling condition: uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration. The alternative does not directly settle the required recurrence control.

B:

Review flap counts and hello processing after network changes. The reported problem is governed by this different mechanism: uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration. The offered choice would not address that particular recurrence control directly.

D:

Review NAE agent performance and false-alert rates quarterly. This option is based on the following distinct technical behavior: it requires the team to review NAE agent performance and false-alert rates quarterly. The present question instead depends on this mechanism: uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration. That difference matters for the requested recurrence control.

Question 405

At the Claremont media production office, a team stores switch backup files containing SNMP community strings and keys in a public file share. Which approach best resolves the described issue?

  1. Store encrypted configuration recovery copies in an independent approved offsite repository
  2. Verify HTTPS server availability and REST access on the intended management VRF with authorized client connectivity
  3. Trend receive power and temperature against supported optics specifications and schedule proactive remediation
  4. Protect configuration archives with access control encryption and approved secret-management practice

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Protect configuration archives with access control encryption and approved secret-management practice is the best response because configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login. A focused validation would establish that unauthorized test users cannot retrieve the archived configuration and authorized restores succeed. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Claremont media production office.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Store encrypted configuration recovery copies in an independent approved offsite repository. Its technical scope is explained by: backups co-located with the failed site cannot support restoration after a regional disaster, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. In this question, the decisive issue is: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login. That is why the offered option is not the most direct root-cause explanation.

B:

The option states: Verify HTTPS server availability and REST access on the intended management VRF with authorized client connectivity. The source describes its associated mechanism as: REST requests require the appropriate management service exposure and reachability beyond the presence of SSH. By contrast, the current situation is governed by: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login. Choosing this alternative would leave the question’s specific root-cause explanation unresolved.

C:

Trend receive power and temperature against supported optics specifications and schedule proactive remediation. This option is based on the following distinct technical behavior: a link can appear operational until optical margins deteriorate enough to cause intermittent failure. The present question instead depends on this mechanism: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login. That difference matters for the requested root-cause explanation.

Question 406

At the Claremont media production office, a team stores switch backup files containing SNMP community strings and keys in a public file share. Which explanation best accounts for the concern?

  1. Aging and inconsistent firmware creates security and interoperability risk across the fabric
  2. Average throughput obscures repeated peaks and does not establish adequate burst headroom
  3. Configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login
  4. Software resource contention can delay control processes while hardware interfaces look healthy

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The situation shows that configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. Remediation is to protect configuration archives with access control encryption and approved secret-management practice. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Claremont media production office.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The option states: Aging and inconsistent firmware creates security and interoperability risk across the fabric. By contrast, the current situation is governed by: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. Choosing this alternative would leave the question’s specific root-cause explanation unresolved.

B:

Average throughput obscures repeated peaks and does not establish adequate burst headroom. The present question instead depends on this mechanism: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. That difference matters for the requested root-cause explanation.

D:

Software resource contention can delay control processes while hardware interfaces look healthy. Its technical scope is explained by: it requires the team to track resource baselines and software version regressions. In this question, the decisive issue is: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. That is why the offered option is not the most direct root-cause explanation.

Question 407

At the Claremont media production office, a team stores switch backup files containing SNMP community strings and keys in a public file share. Which test result best shows the requirement is met?

  1. A replacement lab device restores the required network state from the latest approved backup
  2. Unauthorized test users cannot retrieve the archived configuration and authorized restores succeed
  3. A forecast predicts the upgrade threshold before expected user and application growth
  4. An approved API client authenticates over the management VRF while unauthorized sources fail

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

This is the relevant acceptance result: unauthorized test users cannot retrieve the archived configuration and authorized restores succeed. It demonstrates the outcome of choosing to protect configuration archives with access control encryption and approved secret-management practice. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Claremont media production office.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A replacement lab device restores the required network state from the latest approved backup. This option is based on the following distinct technical behavior: a switch running configuration cannot be reconstructed reliably after hardware loss without an archived copy, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. The present question instead depends on this mechanism: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. That difference matters for the requested acceptance evidence.

C:

A forecast predicts the upgrade threshold before expected user and application growth. Its technical scope is explained by: average throughput obscures repeated peaks and does not establish adequate burst headroom, the required evidence must show that a forecast predicts the upgrade threshold before expected user and application growth. In this question, the decisive issue is: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. That is why the offered option is not the most direct acceptance evidence.

D:

The option states: An approved API client authenticates over the management VRF while unauthorized sources fail. The source describes its associated mechanism as: REST requests require the appropriate management service exposure and reachability beyond the presence of SSH. By contrast, the current situation is governed by: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. Choosing this alternative would leave the question’s specific acceptance evidence unresolved.

Question 408

At the Claremont media production office, a team stores switch backup files containing SNMP community strings and keys in a public file share. Which ongoing control best prevents this issue from recurring?

  1. Reassess archive access and rotate exposed credentials after incidents
  2. Keep platform migration mappings in backup runbooks
  3. Baseline interface error rates and investigate persistent deviations
  4. Review credential handling token expiry and audit logs during automation updates

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The continuing safeguard is to reassess archive access and rotate exposed credentials after incidents. It helps avoid the original condition: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Claremont media production office.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Keep platform migration mappings in backup runbooks. Its technical scope is explained by: a backup from different hardware or release cannot be assumed directly reusable, the required evidence must show that a test restore identifies unsupported features and re-establishes intended forwarding. In this question, the decisive issue is: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. That is why the offered option is not the most direct recurrence control.

C:

The option states: Baseline interface error rates and investigate persistent deviations. The source describes its associated mechanism as: binary link state can hide progressive congestion and packet-quality degradation. By contrast, the current situation is governed by: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. Choosing this alternative would leave the question’s specific recurrence control unresolved.

D:

Review credential handling token expiry and audit logs during automation updates. The reported problem is governed by this different mechanism: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. The offered choice would not address that particular recurrence control directly.

Question 409

At the Redhaven transport facility, a switch fleet spans several unsupported releases without a maintenance compatibility calendar. Which implementation choice best addresses the situation?

  1. Plan a supported staged AOS-CX firmware lifecycle with regression tests and rollback readiness
  2. Protect configuration archives with access control encryption and approved secret-management practice
  3. Correlate fan power and temperature sensor readings with platform operating thresholds
  4. Inspect neighbor event history adjacency uptime and relevant interface logs instead of only the routing table

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

This solution addresses the stated limitation: aging and inconsistent firmware creates security and interoperability risk across the fabric. Implementing it means the team should plan a supported staged AOS-CX firmware lifecycle with regression tests and rollback readiness, then verify that a lab and pilot group complete the approved upgrade with route and VLAN health intact. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Redhaven transport facility.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The option states: Protect configuration archives with access control encryption and approved secret-management practice. The source describes its associated mechanism as: configuration backups can expose operational credentials and topology even without device login. By contrast, the current situation is governed by: aging and inconsistent firmware creates security and interoperability risk across the fabric. Choosing this alternative would leave the question’s specific implementation unresolved.

C:

Correlate fan power and temperature sensor readings with platform operating thresholds. This option is based on the following distinct technical behavior: thermal faults can destabilize forwarding independent of network traffic congestion. The present question instead depends on this mechanism: aging and inconsistent firmware creates security and interoperability risk across the fabric. That difference matters for the requested implementation.

D:

Inspect neighbor event history adjacency uptime and relevant interface logs instead of only the routing table. The reported problem is governed by this different mechanism: aging and inconsistent firmware creates security and interoperability risk across the fabric. The offered choice would not address that particular implementation directly.

Question 410

At the Redhaven transport facility, a switch fleet spans several unsupported releases without a maintenance compatibility calendar. What risk should the team identify as the primary issue?

  1. Uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration
  2. Aging and inconsistent firmware creates security and interoperability risk across the fabric
  3. A degraded inter-switch link can compromise multi-chassis resilience even while user traffic works
  4. REST sessions and tokens must be established and refreshed according to platform security requirements

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

This identifies the root issue: aging and inconsistent firmware creates security and interoperability risk across the fabric. At the Redhaven transport facility, the team should therefore plan a supported staged AOS-CX firmware lifecycle with regression tests and rollback readiness.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The option states: Uncontrolled edits remove traceability and may prevent rapid service restoration. By contrast, the current situation is governed by: aging and inconsistent firmware creates security and interoperability risk across the fabric. Choosing this alternative would leave the question’s specific root-cause explanation unresolved.

C:

The offered alternative states: A degraded inter-switch link can compromise multi-chassis resilience even while user traffic works. The reported facts point to a different controlling condition: aging and inconsistent firmware creates security and interoperability risk across the fabric. The alternative does not directly settle the required root-cause explanation.

D:

REST sessions and tokens must be established and refreshed according to platform security requirements. The reported problem is governed by this different mechanism: aging and inconsistent firmware creates security and interoperability risk across the fabric. The offered choice would not address that particular root-cause explanation directly.
