Question 210
At Pine Valley Telecom, the provider infrastructure team is preparing a regional hub modernization. The operational constraint is planned fault-domain isolation. A production-readiness reviewer asks for proof addressing: A multi-area OSPF design accidentally advertises a management subnet into the production area. Which result BEST demonstrates that this specific issue was resolved?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The management prefix is absent from unauthorized areas and desired production prefixes remain reachable. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: A multi-area OSPF design accidentally advertises a management subnet into the production area. The intended corrective choice is: Apply the intended interface participation and area advertisement policy rather than indiscriminate routing. At Pine Valley Telecom, this outcome verifies actual operation under planned fault-domain isolation, rather than only a ticket marked complete.
Incorrect Answers
Guest and corporate routes remain isolated unless explicitly authorized route exchange is configured. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: Traffic for a guest tenant leaks into the corporate routing table because both use the default VRF. It would follow the distinct action: Create the required VRF separation and assign interfaces and route policies consistently. Here the reported failure is A multi-area OSPF design accidentally advertises a management subnet into the production area. The decisive result for Pine Valley Telecom must instead be: The management prefix is absent from unauthorized areas and desired production prefixes remain reachable.
Approved VNIs are advertised and end-host traffic traverses the VXLAN overlay between intended VTEPs. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: An EVPN/VXLAN fabric has reachable underlay loopbacks but tenant segments are not signaled between VTEPs. It would follow the distinct action: Validate overlay EVPN control-plane peerings, VNI mapping and VTEP membership separately from underlay reachability. Here the reported failure is A multi-area OSPF design accidentally advertises a management subnet into the production area. The decisive result for Pine Valley Telecom must instead be: The management prefix is absent from unauthorized areas and desired production prefixes remain reachable.
The two routed interfaces exchange IP packets across the point-to-point subnet. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: A switch-to-router handoff requires a routed point-to-point connection, not a bridged access port. It would follow the distinct action: Configure a supported Layer 3 interface and assigned subnet rather than keeping it in access VLAN mode. Here the reported failure is A multi-area OSPF design accidentally advertises a management subnet into the production area. The decisive result for Pine Valley Telecom must instead be: The management prefix is absent from unauthorized areas and desired production prefixes remain reachable.
