72201T Sample Questions

  1. Question 1

    Q1

    A support engineer is troubleshooting a reported issue where calls from a specific SIP entity are failing to route through the Avaya Aura Session Manager (SM). Upon checking the Session Manager Dashboard, the engineer notices the Entity Link status is 'down'.

    Which of the following conditions would most likely cause the Entity Link to transition to a 'down' state while the network connectivity remains intact?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: A

    Session Manager uses SIP OPTIONS messages to monitor the health of Entity Links. If SM sends OPTIONS requests and does not receive a 200 OK (or other acceptable response) within the configured timeout/retry limits, it marks the link as down, even if Layer 3 connectivity exists. This is a logic-layer health check.

  2. Question 2

    Q2

    In an Avaya Aura environment, a user reports that when they make an outbound call, the call setup takes unusually long, but eventually connects. A trace reveals that the Session Manager is attempting to contact a Communication Manager instance that is currently out of service before failing over to the active one.

    What configuration element in Avaya Aura System Manager controls the selection order of SIP Entities to preventing this delay?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: A

    In the Routing Policy configuration, administrators assign a Rank to each SIP Entity. Session Manager attempts to route calls to the entity with the lowest rank number first (e.g., Rank 0 before Rank 1). If the primary is down but listed with a lower rank (better priority), SM waits for a timeout before trying the next. Proper maintenance of ranks or using Local Host Name Resolution for active status is key.

  3. Question 3

    Q3Multiple answers

    A multinational corporation uses a centralized Avaya Aura core with local trunking in regional branches. The administrator needs to ensure that emergency calls from the 'Paris' branch route specifically to the Paris PSTN gateway, while general calls follow least cost routing.

    Which combination of Avaya Aura System Manager objects must be configured to achieve location-specific routing for the same dialed number string?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answers: A, C

    Location-based routing requires defining Locations (based on IP subnets) and associating specific Routing Policies to those Locations within the Dial Pattern. This allows the same dialed string (e.g., 911 or 112) to route differently depending on the caller's IP subnet.

    Dial Patterns are the mechanism where the decision is made. Inside a Dial Pattern, you can specify 'Originating Location' to trigger different Routing Policies for the same pattern.

  4. Question 4

    Q4

    During a maintenance window, a technician observes the sequence of Application processing for a SIP user in Session Manager. The user is configured with Communication Manager (CM) as a sequenced application.

    Which diagram correctly represents the logical flow of a call originating from a SIP Endpoint, passing through Session Manager to CM for feature processing, and returning to Session Manager for routing?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: A

    In an Originating Application Sequence, the SIP INVITE flows from the Endpoint -> Session Manager -> Communication Manager (for features) -> Session Manager -> Routing decision. Session Manager acts as the orchestrator, routing the call to the application (CM) and receiving it back before final routing.

  5. Question 5

    Q5

    A support team is investigating a '403 Forbidden' error when an external SIP trunk provider attempts to send a call to the enterprise Avaya Session Border Controller for Enterprise (SBCE). The trace shows the SBCE rejecting the packet immediately.

    Which configuration on the SBCE is the most likely cause for this rejection?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: D

    SBCE enforces strict topology hiding and access control. If an incoming request originates from an IP address that is not defined as a known Remote Entity (Server), the SBCE treats it as unauthorized traffic and drops or rejects it with a 403 Forbidden to protect the network.

  6. Question 6

    Q6

    True or False: In an Avaya Aura deployment, the Session Manager's Personal Profile Manager (PPM) service is responsible for providing SIP endpoints with their contact lists and button configurations.

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: A

    True. PPM (Personal Profile Manager) is a web service running on Session Manager. SIP endpoints (like J100 series or Avaya Workplace) communicate with PPM via HTTP/HTTPS after SIP registration to download contact lists, button mapping, and other feature data that SIP signaling alone does not carry.

  7. Question 7

    Q7

    A customer is deploying Avaya Aura Device Services (AADS) to support dynamic configuration for Avaya Workplace clients. Users report they cannot log in using their email addresses. The administrator verifies that the DNS SRV records are correct.

    Which service on the AADS server must be running and accessible to process the initial auto-configuration request?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    AADS provides the Web Deployment Service to handle the initial configuration and settings for Avaya Workplace clients. When a user enters their email, the client performs a DNS lookup to find the AADS server and then connects to the Web Deployment Service to retrieve connection settings.

  8. Question 8

    Q8

    Case Study: GlobalTech Inc.

    GlobalTech has a distributed Avaya Aura network with a main data center in New York and a disaster recovery site in London.

    • New York hosts System Manager (SMGR) and primary Session Manager (SM1).
    • London hosts secondary Session Manager (SM2).
    • All SIP endpoints are configured to register to SM1 primarily and SM2 secondarily.

    Scenario: The WAN link between New York and London fails.

    • Users in London can still call each other.
    • Users in London cannot make changes to their 'Call Forwarding' settings using the self-administration portal.
    • The System Manager dashboard shows SM2 as 'unreachable'.

    What is the primary reason the London users cannot change their settings, despite their phones being operational?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    While Session Managers contain a replicated copy of the database to process calls during a WAN outage (Survivability), the actual administration and modification of user profiles (like Call Forwarding settings via portal) require write access to the System Manager database. If the WAN is down, the London components cannot reach the SMGR in New York to commit these changes.

  9. Question 9

    Q9

    When troubleshooting a SIP interoperability issue between Avaya Aura Session Manager and a third-party PBX, the engineer collects a trace using 'traceSM'. The trace shows the call failing with a '488 Not Acceptable Here' response.

    Which component is most likely responsible for generating this specific error code in this context?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    A SIP '488 Not Acceptable Here' response typically indicates a media negotiation failure. It means the destination (or a gateway/SBC in the path) received the offer but cannot support any of the proposed codecs or media parameters in the SDP (Session Description Protocol).

  10. Question 10

    Q10

    An administrator needs to perform a backup of the Avaya Aura Session Manager (SM) data.

    What is the correct method to back up the Session Manager configuration and where is this initiated?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    In the Avaya Aura architecture, Session Manager does not have a local database that is backed up independently for configuration. All SM configuration data (users, routing, domains) resides in the System Manager database. Therefore, performing a System Manager backup secures the Session Manager configuration.
