NEW QUESTION # 156
You need to run a packet capture on a CX switch and be able to view the full output on a remote device in real-time. What is the best way to do this?

  • A. Inspect the summary of the packets in real time on the switch using tcpdump
  • B. Configure a mirror session to the CPU, use tshark to capture it to a PCAP file
  • C. Configure a mirror session using ERSPAN to a computer running Wireshark
  • D. Configure a mirror session with another port on the switch as the destination

Answer: C

Explanation:
To capture packets on an HPE Aruba CX switch and view the output remotely in real-time, the best practice is to use a mirror session that forwards traffic to a remote device running a packet analyzer such as Wireshark.
ERSPAN (Encapsulated Remote Switched Port Analyzer) allows the mirror traffic to be encapsulated in GRE and sent over an IP network to a remote monitoring station. This method ensures full packet capture with no local resource constraints and provides full visibility to the analyst.
Option B (using tcpdump on the switch) only provides summarized or limited capture locally.
Option C (mirroring to another switch port) only allows local monitoring and does not provide remote real- time viewing.
Option D (mirror to CPU and then use tshark) is less efficient and may be resource-intensive on the switch.
Therefore, configuring ERSPAN to a remote Wireshark host is the recommended and best way.

NEW QUESTION # 157
Two companies have merged, and BGP is used for routing. The customer has informed you that they currently have about 3600 routes in the routing table and would like to keep the total number of routes below 5000. A BGP routing table from the company to be merged is provided as an example below:

Based on the provided example of the BGP routing table from the merging company, what should the customer consider to achieve the routing table size requirement?

  • A. Set the route metrics equal for each prefix
  • B. Advertise routes only using a primary path
  • C. Import only 0.0.0.0/0 route
  • D. Enforce routing policies with aggregation

Answer: D

Explanation:
The routing table shown contains many individual /24 prefixes.
To keep the total route count below the customer's 5000-route requirement, the company must reduce the number of specific prefixes being advertised.
The correct way to accomplish this is to implement route aggregation in BGP.
Aggregation summarizes multiple contiguous prefixes into a single advertisement, significantly reducing the number of routes learned and stored in the routing table.

The show spanning-tree command provides details on STP topology, helping identify performance issues caused by blocked or redundant links.


NEW QUESTION # 160
What does it mean when an event like the one below is seen on the HPE Aruba Networking CX switch?
2024-04-04T08:35:38.312254+00:00 ICX-Core-1 hpe-vaxd[2167]: Event[701|LOG_INFO|AMM1/1|VSX2 state local up, remote down]

  • A. The physical interface of LAG 2 on the secondary VSX member is down.
  • B. VSX keepalive has detected that the secondary member is down.
  • C. VSX secondary switch is down.
  • D. The multichassis LAG 2 interface is down on both switches.

Answer: C

Explanation:
The event message:
perl
Copy
2024-04-04T08:35:38.312254+00:00 ICX-Core-1 hpe-vaxd[2167]: Event[701|LOG_INFO|AMM1/1|VSX2 state local up, remote down] indicates that the local VSX member is up, but the remote VSX member is down. In a VSX pair, both switches must be operational for full redundancy and synchronization.
This log means the secondary VSX switch (remote) is down or unreachable, causing loss of synchronization and possibly traffic failover issues.
Option B (keepalive detection) is related but the event specifically shows the state of the remote switch being down.
Options C and D refer to LAG or interface state, which are not what this log entry describes.

NEW QUESTION # 161
An HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 switch is connected to port 1/1/1 on an aggregation layer CX
8325 VSX configuration. The following state is seen on the aggregation switch:

The SVI on CX 6000 is not reachable. What can be done to enable connectivity to the SVI on CX
6000?

  • A. Configure on VSX secondary:
    int lag 1
    lacp fallback
  • B. Configure on VSX primary:
    int lag 1 multi-chassis
    lacp fallback
  • C. Configure on VSX primary:
    int lag 1
    lacp fallback
  • D. Configure on VSX secondary
    int lag 1 multi-chassis
    lacp fallback

Answer: C

Explanation:
The LAG member toward the CX 6000 is being blocked because no valid LACP partner is detected. Enabling LACP fallback on the LAG allows the link to forward traffic even when LACP negotiation is not successfully established, restoring reachability to the CX 6000 SVI.


NEW QUESTION # 162

Answer: B

Explanation:
For multi-homed BGP with public address space, you must use a globally unique public AS number. 64813 falls within the range of valid public 16-bit AS numbers.


NEW QUESTION # 163
A customer has connected a server to VLAN 100 on a 6300 switch which is streaming video using multicast group 224.0.0.100. This stream would need to be received by the clients in VLANs 200 and 300, routed on the same CX switch. What needs to be done to enable the requirement?

  • A. The igmp needs to be enabled on the SVIs 100, 200, and 300
  • B. The multicast group address needs to be changed to a routable subnet.
  • C. The multicast group address needs to be changed to other 224.0.0x non-overlapping address
  • D. The igmp-snooping needs to be enabled on SVIs 100, 200, and 300

Answer: B

Explanation:
The multicast group 224.0.0.100 is in the 224.0.0.x link-local multicast range, which is not routable. These addresses are restricted to the local VLAN and cannot be forwarded or routed between interfaces on any router or Layer-3 switch.
To allow multicast traffic to be routed from VLAN 100 to VLANs 200 and 300, the server must stream to a routable multicast group address (e.g., 239.x.x.x or 232.x.x.x).
Therefore, the multicast group must be changed to a routable subnet.
