Question 550

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 BGP session moves between Idle and Active and receives no routes. Which result BEST demonstrates that this specific issue was resolved?

  1. A repeatable CPU spike generates a timestamped observation while normal baseline does not alert.
  2. The peer reaches Established and route exchange follows intended filters.
  3. The intended tenant route is installed only in the authorized routing context.
  4. The neighbor progresses to the expected adjacency state and advertises permitted prefixes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The peer reaches Established and route exchange follows intended filters. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: A BGP session moves between Idle and Active and receives no routes. The intended corrective choice is: Inspect transport reachability, peer IP, ASNs, TCP/179 policy and authentication conditions. At Fairmont Logistics, this outcome verifies actual operation under critical handheld scanner uptime, rather than only a ticket marked complete.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A repeatable CPU spike generates a timestamped observation while normal baseline does not alert. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: Operators want to detect recurring CPU spikes but only collect daily snapshots. It would follow the distinct action: Use supported time-series telemetry or Network Analytics Engine monitoring agents with appropriate thresholds. Here the reported failure is A BGP session moves between Idle and Active and receives no routes. The decisive result for Fairmont Logistics must instead be: The peer reaches Established and route exchange follows intended filters.

C:

The intended tenant route is installed only in the authorized routing context. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: An IP route is missing in the expected tenant although the same prefix appears in the default VRF. It would follow the distinct action: Inspect the correct VRF-specific routing table and interface assignment, not the global table alone. Here the reported failure is A BGP session moves between Idle and Active and receives no routes. The decisive result for Fairmont Logistics must instead be: The peer reaches Established and route exchange follows intended filters.

D:

The neighbor progresses to the expected adjacency state and advertises permitted prefixes. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: An OSPF interface is physically up but the neighbor remains in Init rather than reaching full adjacency. It would follow the distinct action: Check hello reception, network parameters, neighbor consistency and any one-way reachability. Here the reported failure is A BGP session moves between Idle and Active and receives no routes. The decisive result for Fairmont Logistics must instead be: The peer reaches Established and route exchange follows intended filters.

Question 551

At Pine Valley Telecom, the provider infrastructure team is preparing a regional hub modernization. The operational constraint is planned fault-domain isolation. The network investigation identifies this condition: A BGP session moves between Idle and Active and receives no routes. Which action BEST corrects the stated problem?

  1. Inspect IGMP snooping tables, querier state and group aging alongside traffic counters.
  2. Inspect LACP partner state, compatible keys and bundle parameters for the inactive members.
  3. Inspect the correct VRF-specific routing table and interface assignment, not the global table alone.
  4. Inspect transport reachability, peer IP, ASNs, TCP/179 policy and authentication conditions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Inspect transport reachability, peer IP, ASNs, TCP/179 policy and authentication conditions. This response directly addresses the observed condition: A BGP session moves between Idle and Active and receives no routes. For Pine Valley Telecom during a regional hub modernization, the decisive check is not merely that a configuration was entered: The peer reaches Established and route exchange follows intended filters. That evidence connects the proposed correction to measurable forwarding or management behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Inspect IGMP snooping tables, querier state and group aging alongside traffic counters. That relates to a different fault: Multicast members disappear and video freezes while unicast traffic continues normally. The incident in the scenario is instead: A BGP session moves between Idle and Active and receives no routes. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Pine Valley Telecom; the relevant confirmation would be: The peer reaches Established and route exchange follows intended filters.

B:

Inspect LACP partner state, compatible keys and bundle parameters for the inactive members. That relates to a different fault: An LACP group has four configured members but only two report collecting and distributing. The incident in the scenario is instead: A BGP session moves between Idle and Active and receives no routes. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Pine Valley Telecom; the relevant confirmation would be: The peer reaches Established and route exchange follows intended filters.

C:

Inspect the correct VRF-specific routing table and interface assignment, not the global table alone. That relates to a different fault: An IP route is missing in the expected tenant although the same prefix appears in the default VRF. The incident in the scenario is instead: A BGP session moves between Idle and Active and receives no routes. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Pine Valley Telecom; the relevant confirmation would be: The peer reaches Established and route exchange follows intended filters.

Question 552

At Pine Valley Telecom, the provider infrastructure team is preparing a regional hub modernization. The operational constraint is planned fault-domain isolation. The owner reports that the correction is complete for this issue: A BGP session moves between Idle and Active and receives no routes. Which result BEST demonstrates that this specific issue was resolved?

  1. The intended tenant route is installed only in the authorized routing context.
  2. The expected receiver group remains present across query intervals and the stream is delivered.
  3. A root cause is documented from timestamped route and interface events despite high device uptime.
  4. The peer reaches Established and route exchange follows intended filters.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The peer reaches Established and route exchange follows intended filters. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: A BGP session moves between Idle and Active and receives no routes. The intended corrective choice is: Inspect transport reachability, peer IP, ASNs, TCP/179 policy and authentication conditions.

The decisive result for Pine Valley Telecom must instead be: The peer reaches Established and route exchange follows intended filters.

C:

A root cause is documented from timestamped route and interface events despite high device uptime. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: A core switch has been continuously up for months but its route-flap alarms spiked overnight. It would follow the distinct action: Review operational stability across routing, interfaces and change logs rather than using uptime as proof of health. Here the reported failure is A BGP session moves between Idle and Active and receives no routes. The decisive result for Pine Valley Telecom must instead be: The peer reaches Established and route exchange follows intended filters.

Question 553

At Timberline Foods, the supply-chain access network team is preparing a facility rollout. The operational constraint is defined service-level measurements. The site acceptance review finds: Logs repeatedly report interface flap events at the same hour when janitorial equipment is powered. Which action BEST corrects the stated problem?

  1. Correlate timestamped switch syslog, power events and physical link counters before concluding the root cause.
  2. Interpret PoE allocation, supply and per-port power class telemetry independently from link state.
  3. Inspect IGMP snooping tables, querier state and group aging alongside traffic counters.
  4. Inspect transport reachability, peer IP, ASNs, TCP/179 policy and authentication conditions.

Explanation
