Question 530
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: An LACP group has four configured members but only two report collecting and distributing. Which result BEST demonstrates that this specific issue was resolved?
Explanation
Correct Answer
All intended members report synchronized forwarding and aggregate utilization follows expected paths. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: An LACP group has four configured members but only two report collecting and distributing. The intended corrective choice is: Inspect LACP partner state, compatible keys and bundle parameters for the inactive members. At Pine Valley Telecom, this outcome verifies actual operation under planned fault-domain isolation, rather than only a ticket marked complete.
Incorrect Answers
The expected receiver group remains present across query intervals and the stream is delivered. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: Multicast members disappear and video freezes while unicast traffic continues normally. It would follow the distinct action: Inspect IGMP snooping tables, querier state and group aging alongside traffic counters. Here the reported failure is An LACP group has four configured members but only two report collecting and distributing. The decisive result for Pine Valley Telecom must instead be: All intended members report synchronized forwarding and aggregate utilization follows expected paths.
A test trap arrives at the intended collector with correct source and severity handling. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: A service-impacting event is absent from the monitoring platform although the switch generated an SNMP trap. It would follow the distinct action: Validate trap destination, version/authentication, ACL and monitoring collector reachability. Here the reported failure is An LACP group has four configured members but only two report collecting and distributing. The decisive result for Pine Valley Telecom must instead be: All intended members report synchronized forwarding and aggregate utilization follows expected paths.
The identified environmental or link problem is addressed and timed flap alarms cease. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: Logs repeatedly report interface flap events at the same hour when janitorial equipment is powered. It would follow the distinct action: Correlate timestamped switch syslog, power events and physical link counters before concluding the root cause. Here the reported failure is An LACP group has four configured members but only two report collecting and distributing. The decisive result for Pine Valley Telecom must instead be: All intended members report synchronized forwarding and aggregate utilization follows expected paths.
