Question 1
Following a virtual-switch maintenance change, SmartConsole reports the two R82 management peers as Not Communicating. The administrator can still log in locally to each server, but cannot reach the other peer across the management VLAN. What should be verified first before resetting trust or changing HA roles?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The Not Communicating status and lost peer reachability make network path checks the first diagnostic step before any trust or database operation.
Incorrect Answers
A SIC test is useful after transport is confirmed; it cannot repair an unreachable management VLAN.
A manual database sync cannot succeed while the servers cannot communicate.
Changing an HA role does not restore broken peer connectivity.
