Question 450
At Silverstone Software, the internal services network team is preparing an office connectivity redesign. The operational constraint is repeatable and observable acceptance checks. The change ticket is marked completed for this reported failure: A four-member routed ECMP bundle uses only one next hop for a few large sessions and appears uneven. Which result BEST demonstrates that this specific issue was resolved?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Many representative flows distribute across available paths while individual flows remain consistently hashed. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: A four-member routed ECMP bundle uses only one next hop for a few large sessions and appears uneven. The intended corrective choice is: Check traffic-hash distribution and per-flow load balancing before declaring failed links. At Silverstone Software, this outcome verifies actual operation under repeatable and observable acceptance checks, rather than only a ticket marked complete.
Incorrect Answers
No PoE shortage events occur when all expected devices start together. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: Power-hungry access points reset only when additional PoE devices start simultaneously. It would follow the distinct action: Correlate PoE allocation events and switch power availability with device resets. Here the reported failure is A four-member routed ECMP bundle uses only one next hop for a few large sessions and appears uneven. The decisive result for Silverstone Software must instead be: Many representative flows distribute across available paths while individual flows remain consistently hashed.
Interface error counters stop increasing and supported duplex operation is reported consistently. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: A copper link shows late collisions and errors associated with a fixed duplex configuration on an older endpoint. It would follow the distinct action: Reconcile duplex/autonegotiation settings and cable condition on both sides. Here the reported failure is A four-member routed ECMP bundle uses only one next hop for a few large sessions and appears uneven. The decisive result for Silverstone Software must instead be: Many representative flows distribute across available paths while individual flows remain consistently hashed.
DNS lookup latency improves while measured IP forwarding remains unchanged. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: An application name resolves slowly but IP connectivity and path throughput tests are healthy. It would follow the distinct action: Investigate DNS server reachability and resolver delay separately from Layer 2 forwarding. Here the reported failure is A four-member routed ECMP bundle uses only one next hop for a few large sessions and appears uneven. The decisive result for Silverstone Software must instead be: Many representative flows distribute across available paths while individual flows remain consistently hashed.
