HP HPE7-A08 Practice Test 18

Question 170

After implementing the approved change — Verify optic type, fiber reach, polarity and connector compatibility against both switch ports — for this scenario: A fiber uplink between two buildings never reaches operational up state. Which observed result BEST verifies the outcome?

  1. Cameras stay powered through the approved single-feed failure test
  2. The optical link reports stable up state with expected speed and error counters
  3. The uplink negotiates a supported speed and stable error-free link
  4. The switch receives only the approved site policy and is managed in the expected group

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The optical link reports stable up state with expected speed and error counters. This is the observable acceptance evidence for the decision to verify optic type, fiber reach, polarity and connector compatibility against both switch ports. It demonstrates the principle that optical physical-layer compatibility is required before logical configuration.

Incorrect Answers
