HP HPE7-A08 Practice Test 54

Question 530

Before changing switch configuration, an engineer investigates: A backup application succeeds with small packets but larger transfers stall. Which FIRST check is most useful for isolating the cause?

  1. Compare group tables, VLAN scope and multicast port counters
  2. Test representative packet sizes and inspect interface MTU values
  3. Review interface FCS counters, optics power and cable plant results
  4. Inspect routing table equal-cost entries, flow keys and interface rates

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Test representative packet sizes and inspect interface MTU values. This first check isolates the relevant mechanism without an untested configuration change. It tests the rule that mTU mismatch can break selected flows while basic pings still work.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This diagnostic choice fits a different situation: A multicast feed overwhelms user ports that did not subscribe to its group. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive diagnostic choice is to test representative packet sizes and inspect interface MTU values.

C:

This diagnostic 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 diagnostic choice is to test representative packet sizes and inspect interface MTU values.

D:

This diagnostic 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 diagnostic choice is to test representative packet sizes and inspect interface MTU values.

Question 531

An implementation change is planned for: A backup application succeeds with small packets but larger transfers stall. Which preventive control BEST reduces unnecessary outage and security risk?

  1. Plan querier reachability and membership aging tests
  2. Capacity-plan using measured traffic mix rather than theoretical link sum
  3. Define monitoring resource thresholds and alert correlation
  4. Document jumbo-frame support across the entire path

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Document jumbo-frame support across the entire path. This safeguard is appropriate before the change to investigate end-to-end MTU consistency and ICMP path-MTU behavior; it reduces exposure to the mistake of assuming small successful pings prove every packet size will pass.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This prevention choice fits a different situation: A multicast feed overwhelms user ports that did not subscribe to its group. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive prevention choice is to document jumbo-frame support across the entire path.

B:

This prevention 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 prevention choice is to document jumbo-frame support across the entire path.

C:

This prevention 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 prevention choice is to document jumbo-frame support across the entire path.

Question 532

A first repair attempt for this situation failed: A backup application succeeds with small packets but larger transfers stall. The review found the mistaken approach of assuming small successful pings prove every packet size will pass. Which targeted recovery action BEST restores the intended design?

  1. Replace failed media and validate a clean counter interval
  2. Disconnect the unintended loop then restore tested spanning-tree controls
  3. Align MTU on relevant links or use a compatible packet size
  4. Reduce PoE load or upgrade supported supply capacity and retest

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Align MTU on relevant links or use a compatible packet size. This addresses the observed risk rather than hiding its symptoms. Confirm the repair when large flows resume after consistent supported MTU configuration.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This remediation 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 remediation choice is to align MTU on relevant links or use a compatible packet size.

B:

This remediation choice fits a different situation: Many ports report broadcast storms immediately after a cross-connect is added. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive remediation choice is to align MTU on relevant links or use a compatible packet size.

D:

This remediation 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 remediation choice is to align MTU on relevant links or use a compatible packet size.

Question 533

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer faces this wired-network scenario: Some PoE cameras reboot during heavy utilization although data ports stay up. Which implementation action BEST addresses the requirement?

  1. Investigate spanning-tree reconvergence and redundancy path selection

Question 534

After implementing the approved change — Investigate total PoE budget and allocation events at the switch — for this scenario: Some PoE cameras reboot during heavy utilization although data ports stay up. Which observed result BEST verifies the outcome?

  1. Large flows resume after consistent supported MTU configuration
  2. Camera power remains stable after proper budgeting under full load
  3. Replacing faulty media reduces CRC errors under repeatable traffic load
  4. The link transition no longer causes long user outages under test

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Camera power remains stable after proper budgeting under full load. This is the observable acceptance evidence for the decision to investigate total PoE budget and allocation events at the switch. It demonstrates the principle that power supply constraints can mimic connectivity performance faults.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This verification choice fits a different situation: A backup application succeeds with small packets but larger transfers stall. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive verification choice is to camera power remains stable after proper budgeting under full load.

C:

Question 535

An HPE Aruba Networking design review examines: Some PoE cameras reboot during heavy utilization although data ports stay up. Which technical principle BEST explains the required approach?

  1. Topology instability can drive transient packet loss even without persistent failure
  2. QoS congestion can degrade selected traffic even while physical links stay up
  3. MTU mismatch can break selected flows while basic pings still work
  4. Power supply constraints can mimic connectivity performance faults

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Power supply constraints can mimic connectivity performance faults. The case therefore calls for this specifically controlled action: investigate total PoE budget and allocation events at the switch. The acceptance evidence is that camera power remains stable after proper budgeting under full load.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This principle 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 principle choice is to power supply constraints can mimic connectivity performance faults.

C:

This principle choice fits a different situation: A backup application succeeds with small packets but larger transfers stall. It does not resolve the stated failure mode. For this case, the decisive principle choice is to power supply constraints can mimic connectivity performance faults.

Question 536

A risk review for the following wired-network case asks what should be avoided: Some PoE cameras reboot during heavy utilization although data ports stay up. Which assumption creates the GREATEST implementation risk?

  1. Assuming a reachable gateway proves every class has adequate bandwidth
  2. Increasing bandwidth allocation to fix a switch power deficit
  3. Increasing QoS priority to hide a damaged fiber link
  4. Turning off all multicast routing to stop one flooded VLAN

Explanation

Correct Answer
