Question 520
After implementing the approved change — Correlate CPU spikes with control-plane events or a running analytics script — for this scenario: Switch CPU usage spikes periodically while network links remain otherwise stable. Which observed result BEST verifies the outcome?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Identified event timing explains the load without blanket service shutdown. This is the observable acceptance evidence for the decision to correlate CPU spikes with control-plane events or a running analytics script. It demonstrates the principle that control-plane workload and automation can affect performance independently of line rate.
Incorrect Answers
This verification choice fits a different situation: Voice calls drop briefly whenever a distribution link flaps. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive verification choice is to identified event timing explains the load without blanket service shutdown.
This verification choice fits a different situation: A network interface experiences high frame errors at peak load but no routing alarms. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive verification choice is to identified event timing explains the load without blanket service shutdown.
This verification 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 verification choice is to identified event timing explains the load without blanket service shutdown.
