You are configuring VSX active gateway on CX 8360 campus aggregation switches when the switch prompt returns the following error: “No more than IB VMACs can be configured.” What should be done to address this issue?

Limit the number of SVIs with active-gatewayto 16.

Change the switch profile to ”Leal” to increase the number of supported vMACs.

Change the aggregation switch to a higher-end model, such as a CX 8400.

NEW QUESTION 44
Place the recommended troubleshooting steps in order.

Explanation:
The correct order is:
* identify
* analyze
* hypothesize
* validate
* implement
* verify
This question requires arranging standard troubleshooting steps into a logical sequence. A systematic approach is crucial for effective network troubleshooting.
* identify:The first step is always to clearly identify and define the problem. What are the symptoms?
Who is affected? What is the scope? When did it start? Understanding the problem precisely is essential before proceeding.
* analyze:Once the problem is identified, gather relevant data and analyze the situation. This involves checking logs, looking at configurations, examining network topology diagrams, checking status commands, and potentially capturing packets. This analysis helps build context around the identified issue.
* hypothesize:Based on the identification and analysis, form a hypothesis (or multiple hypotheses) about the probable cause of the problem. This involves using technical knowledge and experience to theorize what might be wrong.
* validate:Test the hypothesis to determine if it’s correct. This step involves performing specific tests or checks designed to confirm or refute the theory. For example, if the hypothesis is a bad cable, test the cable. If it’s a routing issue, check the routing table and perform trace routes. This step validates the cause before implementing a fix.
* implement:Once the cause has been validated, implement the solution. This could involve replacing hardware, correcting configuration, clearing states, etc.
* verify:After implementing the solution, verify that the original problem is resolved. It’s also critical to check that the fix hasn’t introduced any new issues. Monitor the system to ensure stability.

NEW QUESTION 46
Match the BGP connection slates to the conditions thatcould have caused that state.

Explanation:
The router is able to process update messages. –>established
The router is waiting for the neighbor’s open message. –>open sent
Routers have agreed on matching feature sets. –>open confirm
The session establishment has timed out. –>idle
This question requires matching BGP connection states from the BGP Finite State Machine (FSM) to descriptions of conditions that occur within or lead to those states.
* Idle:This is the initial state where BGP awaits a start event or retries after a failure. It’s also the state entered upon error detection or session closure, including timeouts during connection attempts.
* Matches:”The session establishment has timed out.” – A timeout during the connection process forces the BGP process back to the Idle state to potentially retry later.
* OpenSent:After a TCP connection is established, the local router sends a BGP OPEN message with its parameters (AS number, capabilities, etc.) and transitions to the OpenSent state while waiting to receive an OPEN message from its BGP neighbor.
* Matches:”The router is waiting for the neighbor’s open message.”
* OpenConfirm:Once the router receives an OPEN message from its neighbor and validates the parameters (e.g., matching AS, compatible capabilities), it sends a KEEPALIVE message and moves to the OpenConfirm state. It waits for a KEEPALIVE from the neighbor to confirm the session. Basic parameter checks and capability negotiations are successfully completed in this phase.
* Matches:”Routers have agreed on matching feature sets.” – This agreement happens upon successful validation of the OPEN messages exchanged.
* Established:This is the final, stable state where BGP peering is successful. Both routers have accepted each other’s parameters via the OPEN messages and confirmed the session with KEEPALIVEs. In this state, the routers can exchange UPDATE messages containing routing information.
* Matches:”The router is able to process update messages.”

NEW QUESTION 47
Refer to the exhibit.

Acme Corp has VM workload running downstream of ToR-1 and has noticed performance degradation. They suspect ToR-1 uplinks are periodically over utilized. A partner has suggested you migrate your legacy 1U Coie-1 and Cote-2 to the CX 6400 series.
Which aspects of this platform would solve the customer’s problem, while focusing on implementing HPE Aruba Networking best practices? (Select two.)

The CX 6400 series supports multiple active forwardingpathways from ToR-1 based on multi-region design.

The proposed new core’s VSF capabilityallows multiple active forwarding pathways from ToR-1 based while eliminating the need for STP.

The proposed solutions backplane stacking permits the directly connected ESXI hosts to load balance using active LACP.

MC-LAG permits Core-1 and Core-2 to present the edge 602.3ad device as a common system ID”

The question involves a customer experiencing performance degradation due to periodic overutilization of ToR-1 uplinks to legacy Core-1 and Core-2 switches. The proposed solution is to migrate to CX 6400 series switches, and the task is to identify which aspects of the CX 6400 platform address the issue while adhering to HPE Aruba Networking best practices.
* Analysis of Options:
* Option A:Incorrect. The CX 6400 does not support “multi-region design” as a feature for active forwarding pathways.
* Option B:Correct. Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) on the CX 6400 allows multiple active forwarding pathways by creating a single logical switch from multiple physical switches, eliminating the need for STP in the core and reducing uplink congestion.
* Option C:Incorrect. Backplane stacking does not directly enable ESXi hosts to load balance using active LACP; this is unrelated to uplink utilization.
* Option D:Correct. Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MC-LAG) allows Core-1 and Core-2 to form a single logical 802.3ad (LACP) device, enabling active-active uplinks from ToR-1 and load balancing traffic to prevent overutilization.
* Why B and D are Correct:The performance degradation is caused by uplink overutilization, likely due to STP blocking redundant paths or inefficient load balancing. The CX 6400’s VSF capability combines multiple switches into a single logical device, allowing all uplinks from ToR-1 to be active without relying on STP, which often blocks redundant paths. MC-LAG further enhances this by presenting Core-1 and Core-2 as a single LACP system, enabling ToR-1 to use all uplinks actively via LACP load balancing. These features align with HPE Aruba Networking best practices for high-availability and performance in campus core deployments.
* Relevance to Certification Objectives:
* Network Resiliency and Virtualization (8%):Designing and troubleshooting VSF and MC- LAG for resiliency and redundancy.
* Performance Optimization (6%):Analyzing and remediating uplink utilization issues.
* Connectivity (9%):Applying advanced networking architectures like VSF and MC-LAG.
