Question 500
An HPE Aruba Networking design review examines: Many ports report broadcast storms immediately after a cross-connect is added. Which technical principle BEST explains the required approach?
Explanation
Correct Answer
An uncontrolled L2 loop can amplify broadcast traffic exponentially. The case therefore calls for this specifically controlled action: trace and isolate a Layer 2 loop and review STP protection settings. The acceptance evidence is that broadcast rate drops after the redundant uncontrolled path is removed.
Incorrect Answers
This principle choice fits a different situation: Some PoE cameras reboot during heavy utilization although data ports stay up. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive principle choice is to an uncontrolled L2 loop can amplify broadcast traffic exponentially.
This principle choice fits a different situation: Traffic across an ECMP routed core concentrates on one path during busy hours. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive principle choice is to an uncontrolled L2 loop can amplify broadcast traffic exponentially.
This principle choice fits a different situation: Switch CPU usage spikes periodically while network links remain otherwise stable. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive principle choice is to an uncontrolled L2 loop can amplify broadcast traffic exponentially.
