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?
Explanation
Correct Answer
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
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.
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.
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.
