Question 470
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 core switch change is about to begin but there is no saved prechange state for quick recovery. Which result BEST demonstrates that this specific issue was resolved?
Explanation
Correct Answer
An operator can restore the recorded checkpoint and recover the former feature state in rehearsal. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: A core switch change is about to begin but there is no saved prechange state for quick recovery. The intended corrective choice is: Create a named supported configuration checkpoint and test the authorized rollback workflow. At Fairmont Logistics, this outcome verifies actual operation under critical handheld scanner uptime, rather than only a ticket marked complete.
Incorrect Answers
A controlled restart retains the intended VLAN membership and routing state. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: A switch has a correct running configuration but reverts to older VLAN settings after reboot. It would follow the distinct action: Save the approved running state persistently according to supported AOS-CX startup configuration procedures. Here the reported failure is A core switch change is about to begin but there is no saved prechange state for quick recovery. The decisive result for Fairmont Logistics must instead be: An operator can restore the recorded checkpoint and recover the former feature state in rehearsal.
A prior dated configuration version can be retrieved and restored after the original laptop is unavailable. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: The organization stores config exports on one laptop where they may be lost or manually overwritten. It would follow the distinct action: Archive versioned encrypted configuration backups in controlled resilient storage with restore testing. Here the reported failure is A core switch change is about to begin but there is no saved prechange state for quick recovery. The decisive result for Fairmont Logistics must instead be: An operator can restore the recorded checkpoint and recover the former feature state in rehearsal.
A controlled outage exercise demonstrates emergency access without granting routine shared privileges. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: An emergency administrator loses all ability to authenticate when the central identity service is unreachable. It would follow the distinct action: Define a secured, audited emergency management-access procedure with restricted credentials and recovery testing. Here the reported failure is A core switch change is about to begin but there is no saved prechange state for quick recovery. The decisive result for Fairmont Logistics must instead be: An operator can restore the recorded checkpoint and recover the former feature state in rehearsal.
