A.Setup a mirror session to filter packets for TCPDUMP analysis.B.Setup a mirror session to generate a Tshark file.C.Check the configured VLANs using “show vsx config-consistency”D.Enable debug of vrf with “console” set as the destination.

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

  3. Question 3

  4. Question 4

    You have removed a member out of the ArubaOS-CX 6300 VSF configuration. The login to the removed member fails. What is true about switch login recovery?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

  5. Question 5

    An administrator is designing a high-availability architecture using Aruba CX 8325 switches in a VSX cluster. The core requirement is to ensure that during a software upgrade of the VSX cluster, there is minimal downtime and zero packet loss for connected dual-homed servers. Which upgrade mechanism should the administrator utilize to meet these strict requirements?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    VSX Live Upgrade (VSX-LU) is the automated process designed specifically for VSX clusters. It upgrades the members one by one, ensuring traffic is steered away from the rebooting member, providing a near-zero downtime experience for dual-homed endpoints. FSU is a different mechanism not specific to the orchestrated cluster upgrade workflow.

  6. Question 6

    You are troubleshooting a customized Network Analytics Engine (NAE) script on an Aruba CX switch. The script is supposed to trigger an alert when CPU utilization exceeds 90%. However, the script status shows 'Critical Error' and is not collecting data. Reviewing the agent logs, you see a 'Sandbox memory limit exceeded' error. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    NAE agents run in sandboxed containers with strict memory limits. If a script attempts to monitor an excessive number of URIs (wildcards) or stores too much historical data in local variables without flushing, it will hit the memory cap and crash. The solution is to optimize the script's scope.

  7. Question 7

    A network engineer is configuring a VSX cluster with Active Gateway. The customer requires that the gateway IP addresses remain reachable even if the VSX Inter-Switch Link (ISL) fails but the Keepalive link remains up. Which specific VSX feature helps mitigate split-brain scenarios by shutting down non-critical links on the secondary member?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    When the ISL fails but the Keepalive is active, the secondary switch detects a split-brain condition. Split-recovery mode (enabled by default) shuts down all VSX LAGs and SVI interfaces on the secondary member to prevent loops and duplicate IP addresses, keeping the primary active.

  8. Question 8

    In an Aruba CX environment running OSPF, you need to ensure that a specific core switch is always preferred as the Designated Router (DR) for the broadcast segment on VLAN 10. Which configuration command achieves this on Interface VLAN 10?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    Setting the OSPF priority to the maximum value of 255 ensures that the router will win the DR election against any other router with a lower priority. The default priority is 1.
