Question 150
At a design studio in Berlin, engineers report that operators assume the VSX ISL is unnecessary because both chassis are individually reachable. The work affects wireless workstations and video conferences. What evidence should the engineer request after the repair?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This observation tests the VSX inter-switch link and keepalive requirement at a design studio in Berlin. The expected result is that the VSX peers show intended primary/secondary state with healthy ISL and keepalive, and a fault test preserves eligible forwarding. The necessary correction is to validate the VSX inter-switch link, keepalive path and peer synchronization before depending on dual-switch redundancy; a saved configuration alone would not prove it is working. In this case, the observed fault is that operators assume the VSX ISL is unnecessary because both chassis are individually reachable.
Incorrect Answers
At a design studio in Berlin, the observation may be useful for a separate Multi-chassis LAGs and active paths test, but it does not establish that operators assume the VSX ISL is unnecessary because both chassis are individually reachable has been resolved. The relevant check is the VSX inter-switch link and keepalive outcome.
At a design studio in Berlin, this would verify First-hop gateway redundancy and failover, not the failure reported in this scenario. The requested closure criterion instead concerns VSX inter-switch link and keepalive: the VSX peers show intended primary/secondary state with healthy ISL and keepalive, and a fault test preserves eligible forwarding.
At a design studio in Berlin, the observation may be useful for a separate VSF member roles and stack consistency test, but it does not establish that operators assume the VSX ISL is unnecessary because both chassis are individually reachable has been resolved. The relevant check is the VSX inter-switch link and keepalive outcome.
