HP HPE7-A08 Practice Test 33

Question 320

Before changing switch configuration, an engineer investigates: A WAN uplink congests and video packets starve critical control traffic. Which FIRST check is most useful for isolating the cause?

  1. Review rate controls, interface utilization and class counters
  2. Inspect queue-depth, drop counters and applied scheduling profiles
  3. Inspect trust mode, ingress markings and mapped queue counters
  4. Inspect VRF assignment, lookup table and reachable next hop

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Inspect queue-depth, drop counters and applied scheduling profiles. This first check isolates the relevant mechanism without an untested configuration change. It tests the rule that egress scheduling shares limited bandwidth among classes.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This diagnostic choice fits a different situation: A bulk replication flow overwhelms a lower-speed intersite uplink. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive diagnostic choice is to inspect queue-depth, drop counters and applied scheduling profiles.

C:

This diagnostic choice fits a different situation: Voice traffic marked at a trusted phone should retain priority over bulk backups. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive diagnostic choice is to inspect queue-depth, drop counters and applied scheduling profiles.

D:

This diagnostic choice fits a different situation: An isolated branch VRF lacks a route to the headquarters application. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive diagnostic choice is to inspect queue-depth, drop counters and applied scheduling profiles.

Question 321

An implementation change is planned for: A WAN uplink congests and video packets starve critical control traffic. Which preventive control BEST reduces unnecessary outage and security risk?

  1. Set change thresholds and measure before-and-after throughput
  2. Document which ports may supply markings and test untrusted remarking
  3. Store secrets securely and pin a tested compatible API route
  4. Load-test the exact profile before production

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Load-test the exact profile before production. This safeguard is appropriate before the change to configure scheduler and queue-profile weights appropriate to critical traffic classes; it reduces exposure to the mistake of raising every traffic class to strict priority and expecting isolation.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This prevention choice fits a different situation: A bulk replication flow overwhelms a lower-speed intersite uplink. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive prevention choice is to load-test the exact profile before production.

B:

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 apply supported rate limiting or shaping for the selected traffic class.

Question 324

After implementing the approved change — Apply supported rate limiting or shaping for the selected traffic class — for this scenario: A bulk replication flow overwhelms a lower-speed intersite uplink. Which observed result BEST verifies the outcome?

  1. Measured control-plane and voice performance stay within acceptance thresholds
  2. Interactive applications remain responsive while replication uses bounded bandwidth
  3. Packet markings and egress queues match the approved voice treatment
  4. Rogue DHCP responses are rejected while official leases continue

Explanation

For this case, the decisive verification choice is to interactive applications remain responsive while replication uses bounded bandwidth.

Question 325

An HPE Aruba Networking design review examines: A bulk replication flow overwhelms a lower-speed intersite uplink. Which technical principle BEST explains the required approach?

  1. QoS classification and trust establish how traffic enters service classes
  2. Egress scheduling shares limited bandwidth among classes
  3. Programmatic integration requires explicit authentication and least privilege
  4. Shaping and rate controls can protect a congested egress link

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Shaping and rate controls can protect a congested egress link. The case therefore calls for this specifically controlled action: apply supported rate limiting or shaping for the selected traffic class. The acceptance evidence is that interactive applications remain responsive while replication uses bounded bandwidth.

Question 326

A risk review for the following wired-network case asks what should be avoided: A bulk replication flow overwhelms a lower-speed intersite uplink. Which assumption creates the GREATEST implementation risk?

  1. Trusting all internet-sourced DSCP markings as equally authoritative
  2. Assuming an unlimited upstream sender cannot congest a slower downstream link
  3. Raising every traffic class to strict priority and expecting isolation
  4. Changing production settings while still gathering a baseline

Explanation
