Question 220

At Northpoint Health, the remote-clinic systems team is preparing a rural site commissioning project. The operational constraint is remote support and access restrictions. The owner reports that the correction is complete for this issue: Traffic for a guest tenant leaks into the corporate routing table because both use the default VRF. Which result BEST demonstrates that this specific issue was resolved?

  1. BGP reports an Established external session and only approved routes are installed.
  2. The prefix appears with its intended next hop and bidirectional traffic succeeds.
  3. Approved VNIs are advertised and end-host traffic traverses the VXLAN overlay between intended VTEPs.
  4. Guest and corporate routes remain isolated unless explicitly authorized route exchange is configured.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Guest and corporate routes remain isolated unless explicitly authorized route exchange is configured. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: Traffic for a guest tenant leaks into the corporate routing table because both use the default VRF. The intended corrective choice is: Create the required VRF separation and assign interfaces and route policies consistently. At Northpoint Health, this outcome verifies actual operation under remote support and access restrictions, rather than only a ticket marked complete.

Incorrect Answers

A:

BGP reports an Established external session and only approved routes are installed. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: A campus border peers with a different routing autonomous system but administrators attempt OSPF across the external boundary. It would follow the distinct action: Configure an appropriate supported eBGP peer with correct peer ASN and reachability for policy-controlled exchange. Here the reported failure is Traffic for a guest tenant leaks into the corporate routing table because both use the default VRF. The decisive result for Northpoint Health must instead be: Guest and corporate routes remain isolated unless explicitly authorized route exchange is configured.

B:

The prefix appears with its intended next hop and bidirectional traffic succeeds. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: A remote site has no learned path to one upstream prefix and no dynamic routing requirement. It would follow the distinct action: Add a deliberate static route with a reachable next hop and validate return-path routing. Here the reported failure is Traffic for a guest tenant leaks into the corporate routing table because both use the default VRF. The decisive result for Northpoint Health must instead be: Guest and corporate routes remain isolated unless explicitly authorized route exchange is configured.

C:

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 Traffic for a guest tenant leaks into the corporate routing table because both use the default VRF. The decisive result for Northpoint Health must instead be: Guest and corporate routes remain isolated unless explicitly authorized route exchange is configured.

Question 221

At Riverton Utilities, the operations-center network team is preparing a dispatch network revision. The operational constraint is dispatch continuity under link failure. The site acceptance review finds: An EVPN/VXLAN fabric has reachable underlay loopbacks but tenant segments are not signaled between VTEPs. Which action BEST corrects the stated problem?

  1. Configure IPv6 gateway routing and required neighbor-discovery/route advertisement behavior.
  2. Configure a supported Layer 3 interface and assigned subnet rather than keeping it in access VLAN mode.
  3. Validate overlay EVPN control-plane peerings, VNI mapping and VTEP membership separately from underlay reachability.
  4. Create the required VRF separation and assign interfaces and route policies consistently.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Validate overlay EVPN control-plane peerings, VNI mapping and VTEP membership separately from underlay reachability. This response directly addresses the observed condition: An EVPN/VXLAN fabric has reachable underlay loopbacks but tenant segments are not signaled between VTEPs. For Riverton Utilities during a dispatch network revision, the decisive check is not merely that a configuration was entered: Approved VNIs are advertised and end-host traffic traverses the VXLAN overlay between intended VTEPs. That evidence connects the proposed correction to measurable forwarding or management behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Configure IPv6 gateway routing and required neighbor-discovery/route advertisement behavior. That relates to a different fault: A new IPv6 VLAN has global addresses but no route beyond its link-local neighborhood. The incident in the scenario is instead: An EVPN/VXLAN fabric has reachable underlay loopbacks but tenant segments are not signaled between VTEPs. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Riverton Utilities; the relevant confirmation would be: Approved VNIs are advertised and end-host traffic traverses the VXLAN overlay between intended VTEPs.

B:

Configure a supported Layer 3 interface and assigned subnet rather than keeping it in access VLAN mode. That relates to a different fault: A switch-to-router handoff requires a routed point-to-point connection, not a bridged access port. The incident in the scenario is instead: An EVPN/VXLAN fabric has reachable underlay loopbacks but tenant segments are not signaled between VTEPs. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Riverton Utilities; the relevant confirmation would be: Approved VNIs are advertised and end-host traffic traverses the VXLAN overlay between intended VTEPs.

D:

Create the required VRF separation and assign interfaces and route policies consistently. That relates to a different fault: Traffic for a guest tenant leaks into the corporate routing table because both use the default VRF. The incident in the scenario is instead: An EVPN/VXLAN fabric has reachable underlay loopbacks but tenant segments are not signaled between VTEPs.

Question 222

At Riverton Utilities, the operations-center network team is preparing a dispatch network revision. The operational constraint is dispatch continuity under link failure. A production-readiness reviewer asks for proof addressing: An EVPN/VXLAN fabric has reachable underlay loopbacks but tenant segments are not signaled between VTEPs. Which result BEST demonstrates that this specific issue was resolved?

  1. Approved VNIs are advertised and end-host traffic traverses the VXLAN overlay between intended VTEPs.
  2. The two routed interfaces exchange IP packets across the point-to-point subnet.
  3. OSPF neighbors reach Full where appropriate and relevant routes appear in routing tables.
  4. The management prefix is absent from unauthorized areas and desired production prefixes remain reachable.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Approved VNIs are advertised and end-host traffic traverses the VXLAN overlay between intended VTEPs. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: An EVPN/VXLAN fabric has reachable underlay loopbacks but tenant segments are not signaled between VTEPs.

The decisive result for Riverton Utilities must instead be: Approved VNIs are advertised and end-host traffic traverses the VXLAN overlay between intended VTEPs.

C:

OSPF neighbors reach Full where appropriate and relevant routes appear in routing tables. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: Two neighboring distribution switches see each other at IP level but OSPF never forms adjacency. It would follow the distinct action: Match required OSPF area and adjacency settings and confirm L3 interface state and neighbor discovery. Here the reported failure is An EVPN/VXLAN fabric has reachable underlay loopbacks but tenant segments are not signaled between VTEPs. The decisive result for Riverton Utilities must instead be: Approved VNIs are advertised and end-host traffic traverses the VXLAN overlay between intended VTEPs.

D:

The management prefix is absent from unauthorized areas and desired production prefixes remain reachable. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: A multi-area OSPF design accidentally advertises a management subnet into the production area. It would follow the distinct action: Apply the intended interface participation and area advertisement policy rather than indiscriminate routing. Here the reported failure is An EVPN/VXLAN fabric has reachable underlay loopbacks but tenant segments are not signaled between VTEPs. The decisive result for Riverton Utilities must instead be: Approved VNIs are advertised and end-host traffic traverses the VXLAN overlay between intended VTEPs.

Question 223

At Harborline Finance, the infrastructure security group is preparing a governed switching change. The operational constraint is least-privilege and audit retention. The network investigation identifies this condition: An EVPN/VXLAN fabric has reachable underlay loopbacks but tenant segments are not signaled between VTEPs. Which action BEST corrects the stated problem?

  1. Validate overlay EVPN control-plane peerings, VNI mapping and VTEP membership separately from underlay reachability.
  2. Apply the intended interface participation and area advertisement policy rather than indiscriminate routing.
  3. Configure IPv6 gateway routing and required neighbor-discovery/route advertisement behavior.
  4. Enable and address the VLAN SVI on the intended Layer 3 device and verify it is operational.

Question 229

At Fairmont Logistics, the distribution-center switching team is preparing a warehouse device rollout. The operational constraint is critical handheld scanner uptime. The site acceptance review finds: A video VLAN floods all switch ports with a multicast stream although only some hosts joined. Which action BEST corrects the stated problem?

  1. Enable and validate IGMP snooping with correct multicast group membership on the receiver VLAN.
  2. Use DHCP snooping with trusted uplinks and untrusted edge ports, validating the trust boundary.
  3. Use a supported multicast routing design such as PIM with correct rendezvous/source reachability where required.
  4. Provide a suitable IGMP querier or multicast router for the VLAN under the supported design.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Enable and validate IGMP snooping with correct multicast group membership on the receiver VLAN. This response directly addresses the observed condition: A video VLAN floods all switch ports with a multicast stream although only some hosts joined. For Fairmont Logistics during a warehouse device rollout, the decisive check is not merely that a configuration was entered: Only member ports and required router-facing ports receive the multicast traffic during observation. That evidence connects the proposed correction to measurable forwarding or management behavior.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Use DHCP snooping with trusted uplinks and untrusted edge ports, validating the trust boundary. That relates to a different fault: An attacker on an access port sends forged DHCP replies claiming to be the default gateway server. The incident in the scenario is instead: A video VLAN floods all switch ports with a multicast stream although only some hosts joined. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Fairmont Logistics; the relevant confirmation would be: Only member ports and required router-facing ports receive the multicast traffic during observation.

C:

Use a supported multicast routing design such as PIM with correct rendezvous/source reachability where required. That relates to a different fault: Receivers in another routed subnet cannot join an allowed multicast source despite working unicast routing. The incident in the scenario is instead: A video VLAN floods all switch ports with a multicast stream although only some hosts joined. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Fairmont Logistics; the relevant confirmation would be: Only member ports and required router-facing ports receive the multicast traffic during observation.

D:

Provide a suitable IGMP querier or multicast router for the VLAN under the supported design. That relates to a different fault: IGMP membership entries disappear on a standalone VLAN because no device sends periodic membership queries. The incident in the scenario is instead: A video VLAN floods all switch ports with a multicast stream although only some hosts joined. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Fairmont Logistics; the relevant confirmation would be: Only member ports and required router-facing ports receive the multicast traffic during observation.

Question 230

At Fairmont Logistics, the distribution-center switching team is preparing a warehouse device rollout. The operational constraint is critical handheld scanner uptime. A production-readiness reviewer asks for proof addressing: A video VLAN floods all switch ports with a multicast stream although only some hosts joined.

  1. Receiver memberships persist across query intervals and multicast delivery remains stable.
  2. A cross-subnet test receiver obtains the intended multicast group while unrelated segments remain unaffected.
  3. The intended members join a healthy single VSF stack with correct member roles.
  4. Only member ports and required router-facing ports receive the multicast traffic during observation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Only member ports and required router-facing ports receive the multicast traffic during observation. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: A video VLAN floods all switch ports with a multicast stream although only some hosts joined. The intended corrective choice is: Enable and validate IGMP snooping with correct multicast group membership on the receiver VLAN.
