HP HPE7-A08 Practice Test 20

Question 190

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer faces this wired-network scenario: Two switches must exchange VLAN 20 and VLAN 30 but a user in VLAN 30 cannot cross the uplink. Which implementation action BEST addresses the requirement?

  1. Deploy a supported VSF topology with defined conductor, standby and member links
  2. Configure the trunk's allowed VLANs and native VLAN deliberately on both ends
  3. Align LACP configuration, port compatibility and the peer's aggregation settings
  4. Configure the VSX LAG consistently on supported peers and validate the ISL and keepalive paths

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A trunk forwards only VLANs permitted by its effective membership. The targeted implementation is to configure the trunk's allowed VLANs and native VLAN deliberately on both ends. The deployment succeeds when a tagged VLAN 30 test passes across the inter-switch uplink.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This implementation choice fits a different situation: A department wants multiple 6300 access switches to behave as one manageable stack. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive implementation choice is to configure the trunk's allowed VLANs and native VLAN deliberately on both ends.

C:

This implementation choice fits a different situation: A link aggregation group contains two ports but only one member forwards traffic. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive implementation choice is to configure the trunk's allowed VLANs and native VLAN deliberately on both ends.

D:

This implementation choice fits a different situation: Two aggregation switches use VSX, but a downstream dual-homed LAG drops on peer failure. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive implementation choice is to configure the trunk's allowed VLANs and native VLAN deliberately on both ends.

Question 191

After implementing the approved change — Configure the trunk's allowed VLANs and native VLAN deliberately on both ends — for this scenario: Two switches must exchange VLAN 20 and VLAN 30 but a user in VLAN 30 cannot cross the uplink. Which observed result BEST verifies the outcome?

  1. The downstream device keeps connectivity through the surviving peer
  2. The network has a stable root and blocks redundant Layer 2 paths as intended
  3. The stack presents one intended management plane and survives member failover
  4. A tagged VLAN 30 test passes across the inter-switch uplink

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A tagged VLAN 30 test passes across the inter-switch uplink. This is the observable acceptance evidence for the decision to configure the trunk's allowed VLANs and native VLAN deliberately on both ends. It demonstrates the principle that a trunk forwards only VLANs permitted by its effective membership.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This verification choice fits a different situation: Two aggregation switches use VSX, but a downstream dual-homed LAG drops on peer failure. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive verification choice is to a tagged VLAN 30 test passes across the inter-switch uplink.

B:

This verification choice fits a different situation: Two access layers see periodic Layer 2 loops after a redundant cable is installed. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive verification choice is to a tagged VLAN 30 test passes across the inter-switch uplink.

C:

This verification choice fits a different situation: A department wants multiple 6300 access switches to behave as one manageable stack. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive verification choice is to a tagged VLAN 30 test passes across the inter-switch uplink.

Question 192

An HPE Aruba Networking design review examines: Two switches must exchange VLAN 20 and VLAN 30 but a user in VLAN 30 cannot cross the uplink. Which technical principle BEST explains the required approach?

  1. VSX multi-chassis LAG operation depends on peer and downstream consistency
  2. A trunk forwards only VLANs permitted by its effective membership
  3. Spanning-tree control is required when redundant bridged links can form loops
  4. VSF joins compatible physical members into a managed switch stack

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A trunk forwards only VLANs permitted by its effective membership. The case therefore calls for this specifically controlled action: configure the trunk's allowed VLANs and native VLAN deliberately on both ends. The acceptance evidence is that a tagged VLAN 30 test passes across the inter-switch uplink.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This principle choice fits a different situation: Two aggregation switches use VSX, but a downstream dual-homed LAG drops on peer failure. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive principle choice is to a trunk forwards only VLANs permitted by its effective membership.

C:

This principle choice fits a different situation: Two access layers see periodic Layer 2 loops after a redundant cable is installed. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive principle choice is to a trunk forwards only VLANs permitted by its effective membership.

D:

This principle choice fits a different situation: A department wants multiple 6300 access switches to behave as one manageable stack. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive principle choice is to a trunk forwards only VLANs permitted by its effective membership.

Question 193

A risk review for the following wired-network case asks what should be avoided: Two switches must exchange VLAN 20 and VLAN 30 but a user in VLAN 30 cannot cross the uplink. Which assumption creates the GREATEST implementation risk?

  1. Enabling independent unrelated LACP groups and calling them a VSX LAG
  2. Disabling STP to make every link forward simultaneously
  3. Treating a VSF stack as two independent VSX control planes
  4. Assuming a VLAN created locally automatically appears on every uplink

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Assuming a VLAN created locally automatically appears on every uplink. That shortcut fails because a trunk forwards only VLANs permitted by its effective membership. Instead, the appropriate approach is to configure the trunk's allowed VLANs and native VLAN deliberately on both ends.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This misconception choice fits a different situation: Two aggregation switches use VSX, but a downstream dual-homed LAG drops on peer failure. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive misconception choice is to assuming a VLAN created locally automatically appears on every uplink.

B:

This misconception choice fits a different situation: Two access layers see periodic Layer 2 loops after a redundant cable is installed. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive misconception choice is to assuming a VLAN created locally automatically appears on every uplink.

C:

This misconception choice fits a different situation: A department wants multiple 6300 access switches to behave as one manageable stack. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive misconception choice is to assuming a VLAN created locally automatically appears on every uplink.

Question 194

Before changing switch configuration, an engineer investigates: Two switches must exchange VLAN 20 and VLAN 30 but a user in VLAN 30 cannot cross the uplink. Which FIRST check is most useful for isolating the cause?

  1. Inspect VSF member states, stack links and role election
  2. Inspect interface VLAN mode, allowed list and MAC learning
  3. Inspect peer state, VSX synchronization and LACP status on both sides
  4. Inspect LACP actor and partner data, member status and port settings

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Inspect interface VLAN mode, allowed list and MAC learning. This first check isolates the relevant mechanism without an untested configuration change. It tests the rule that a trunk forwards only VLANs permitted by its effective membership.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This diagnostic choice fits a different situation: A department wants multiple 6300 access switches to behave as one manageable stack. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive diagnostic choice is to inspect interface VLAN mode, allowed list and MAC learning.

C:

This diagnostic choice fits a different situation: Two aggregation switches use VSX, but a downstream dual-homed LAG drops on peer failure. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive diagnostic choice is to inspect interface VLAN mode, allowed list and MAC learning.

D:

This diagnostic choice fits a different situation: A link aggregation group contains two ports but only one member forwards traffic. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive diagnostic choice is to inspect interface VLAN mode, allowed list and MAC learning.

Question 195

An implementation change is planned for: Two switches must exchange VLAN 20 and VLAN 30 but a user in VLAN 30 cannot cross the uplink. Which preventive control BEST reduces unnecessary outage and security risk?

  1. Use documented matched speed and trunk policy for the bundle
  2. Plan standby member placement and isolated stacking paths
  3. Define root priorities and test topology changes before production
  4. Validate an end-to-end VLAN propagation matrix in staging

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Validate an end-to-end VLAN propagation matrix in staging. This safeguard is appropriate before the change to configure the trunk's allowed VLANs and native VLAN deliberately on both ends; it reduces exposure to the mistake of assuming a VLAN created locally automatically appears on every uplink.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This prevention choice fits a different situation: A link aggregation group contains two ports but only one member forwards traffic. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive prevention choice is to validate an end-to-end VLAN propagation matrix in staging.

B:

This prevention choice fits a different situation: A department wants multiple 6300 access switches to behave as one manageable stack. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive prevention choice is to validate an end-to-end VLAN propagation matrix in staging.

C:

This prevention choice fits a different situation: Two access layers see periodic Layer 2 loops after a redundant cable is installed. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive prevention choice is to validate an end-to-end VLAN propagation matrix in staging.

Question 196

A first repair attempt for this situation failed: Two switches must exchange VLAN 20 and VLAN 30 but a user in VLAN 30 cannot cross the uplink. The review found the mistaken approach of assuming a VLAN created locally automatically appears on every uplink. Which targeted recovery action BEST restores the intended design?

  1. Repair the stack adjacency and restore the approved member order
  2. Correct the VSX configuration and resynchronize before retesting failover
  3. Add only required VLAN 30 membership and verify both ends
  4. Remove the incompatible member, align both peers and rejoin it

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Add only required VLAN 30 membership and verify both ends. This addresses the observed risk rather than hiding its symptoms. Confirm the repair when a tagged VLAN 30 test passes across the inter-switch uplink.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This remediation choice fits a different situation: A department wants multiple 6300 access switches to behave as one manageable stack. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive remediation choice is to add only required VLAN 30 membership and verify both ends.

B:

This remediation choice fits a different situation: Two aggregation switches use VSX, but a downstream dual-homed LAG drops on peer failure. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive remediation choice is to add only required VLAN 30 membership and verify both ends.

D:

This remediation choice fits a different situation: A link aggregation group contains two ports but only one member forwards traffic. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive remediation choice is to add only required VLAN 30 membership and verify both ends.

Question 197

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer faces this wired-network scenario: Two access layers see periodic Layer 2 loops after a redundant cable is installed. Which implementation action BEST addresses the requirement?

  1. Configure the trunk's allowed VLANs and native VLAN deliberately on both ends
  2. Configure the VSX LAG consistently on supported peers and validate the ISL and keepalive paths
  3. Align LACP configuration, port compatibility and the peer's aggregation settings
  4. Configure a consistent MSTP region and root strategy for the bridged topology

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Spanning-tree control is required when redundant bridged links can form loops. The targeted implementation is to configure a consistent MSTP region and root strategy for the bridged topology. The deployment succeeds when the network has a stable root and blocks redundant Layer 2 paths as intended.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This implementation choice fits a different situation: Two switches must exchange VLAN 20 and VLAN 30 but a user in VLAN 30 cannot cross the uplink. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive implementation choice is to configure a consistent MSTP region and root strategy for the bridged topology.
