NEW QUESTION # 73
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. Configure a mirror session with another port on the switch as the destination
• B. Configure a mirror session to the CPU, use tshark to capture it to a PCAP file
• C. Inspect the summary of the packets in real time on the switch using tcpdump
• D. Configure a mirror session using ERSPAN to a computer running Wireshark

Answer: D

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.

Two AOS-CX switches are configured for VSX at the access layer, where servers attached to them. An SVI interface is configured for VLAN 10 and serves as the default gateway for VLAN 10.
The ISL link between the switches fails, but the keepalive interface functions. Active gateway has been configured on the switches.
What is correct about access from the servers to the Core?

• A. Server 1 can access the core layer via both uplinks.
• B. Server 2 cannot access the core layer.
• C. Server 2 can successfully access the core layer via the keepalive link.
• D. Server 1 and Server 2 can communicate with each other via the core layer.

Answer: A

NEW QUESTION # 78

NEW QUESTION # 83
Examine the commands entered on an AOS-CX switch:

What is true regarding this configuration for traffic received on interface 100?

• A. The next-hop address of 1.1.1.1 is overwritten by the next-hop address of 2.2.2.2
• B. The traffic is always dropped is the next-hop addresses are unreachable
• C. The traffic will be routed with the IP routing table entries if the next-hop addresses are unreachable
• D. The default next-hop address supersedes the two preceding next-hop addresses

Answer: C

Explanation:
If 1.1.1.1 is not reachable then next hop uses 2.2.2.2 if both of these are unreachable then normal routing table is used..and only if no route is available in routing table then default next-hop will kick-in.

NEW QUESTION # 84
Refer to the exhibit:

Both switches, Core-1 and Core-2, are configured with default spanning-tree priorities. Both switches appear as primary root bridges. What must be done to have only one spanning tree domain?

• A. Set the spanning tree priority to 1 on Core-2.
• B. Create MST instances 1 and 2 on Core-2.
• C. Create matching MST configuration on Core-2.
• D. Set the spanning tree priority to 1 on Core-1.

Answer: C

Explanation:
If both switches are configured with default spanning-tree priorities and both appear as primary root bridges, to have a single spanning tree domain, matching MST configuration (Multiple Spanning Tree) must be created on Core-2 to align with Core-1.
Setting priority to 1 on one switch can help but matching MST configurations is the recommended approach for multiple VLANs.
Creating MST instances on only one switch will not ensure consistency.
Matching MST configurations ensures consistent root bridge election and stable spanning tree.

NEW QUESTION # 85
How should a network administrator add NAE scripts and implement NAE agents that will run on an AOS-CX switch?

• A. Use the web interface of the NetEdit server
• B. Use the web interface of the AOS-CX switch
• C. Use the CLI of the AOS-CX switch
• D. Use the web interface of Aruba Central

Answer: B

NEW QUESTION # 86
How would you describe the firmware upgrade process for an HPE Aruba Networking VSX cluster?

• A. During the upgrade, the vsx-syned process will stop synchronization while the software versions are mismatched
• B. During the upgrade, the vsx-syned process will continue synchronization while the software versions are mismatched
• C. After the upgrade, the vsx-syned process can resume synchronization even if the switches are in a different firmware version
• D. After the upgrade, the vsx-syned process will continue synchronization, once vsx-upgrade commit is issued

Answer: A

Explanation:
During a VSX firmware upgrade, the vsx-syned process stops synchronization while the switches have mismatched software versions. Synchronization resumes once both switches run the same software.
VSX synchronization cannot continue while versions mismatch (contrary to options B and D).
Compatibility mode is not required before rebooting secondary switch (Option D incorrect).
This behavior ensures consistency and avoids split-brain during upgrades.
