Question 480
At Dunhaven University, the campus systems team is preparing a multi-building classroom network upgrade. The operational constraint is classroom Wi-Fi and VoIP availability. The owner reports that the correction is complete for this issue: A replacement switch arrives with factory settings and there is no device-specific backup to restore. Which result BEST demonstrates that this specific issue was resolved?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The replacement accepts a validated configuration and passes expected port and routing tests. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: A replacement switch arrives with factory settings and there is no device-specific backup to restore. The intended corrective choice is: Maintain securely stored model- and version-aware configuration backups with an authenticated restoration runbook. At Dunhaven University, this outcome verifies actual operation under classroom Wi-Fi and VoIP availability, rather than only a ticket marked complete.
Incorrect Answers
Events from the two devices correlate accurately with recorded time sources after adjustment. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: Syslog timestamps from two switches disagree, preventing accurate change-event correlation. It would follow the distinct action: Synchronize devices with an approved NTP source and time zone/UTC policy. Here the reported failure is A replacement switch arrives with factory settings and there is no device-specific backup to restore. The decisive result for Dunhaven University must instead be: The replacement accepts a validated configuration and passes expected port and routing tests.
Investigators can identify the exact administrator and time of a tested setting change. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: Configuration changes have no historical attribution because multiple staff share one account. It would follow the distinct action: Use individual AAA/RBAC identities and retain time-synchronized configuration audit logs. Here the reported failure is A replacement switch arrives with factory settings and there is no device-specific backup to restore. The decisive result for Dunhaven University must instead be: The replacement accepts a validated configuration and passes expected port and routing tests.
A compliance report identifies unauthorized deviations and the approved remediation closes them. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: Multiple branch access switches drift from the approved VLAN and management baseline. It would follow the distinct action: Use reviewed golden templates or policy-based configuration comparisons while handling documented exceptions. Here the reported failure is A replacement switch arrives with factory settings and there is no device-specific backup to restore. The decisive result for Dunhaven University must instead be: The replacement accepts a validated configuration and passes expected port and routing tests.
