Question 60

At Northpoint Health, the remote-clinic systems team is preparing a rural site commissioning project. The operational constraint is remote support and access restrictions. The owner reports that the correction is complete for this issue: An implementation plan budgets enough PoE for average device load but not the concurrent worst-case startup draw. Which result BEST demonstrates that this specific issue was resolved?

  1. A link-failure test retains the required campus reachability without creating Layer 2 loops.
  2. An engineer can access the device under an in-band outage without exposing insecure remote-management services.
  3. A tested image rollout uses only supported software for each platform and retains recovery paths.
  4. An inventory and startup test stay within the documented total PoE budget and per-port limits.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

An inventory and startup test stay within the documented total PoE budget and per-port limits. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: An implementation plan budgets enough PoE for average device load but not the concurrent worst-case startup draw. The intended corrective choice is: Calculate worst-case PoE power and power-supply headroom per chassis and switch. At Northpoint Health, this outcome verifies actual operation under remote support and access restrictions, rather than only a ticket marked complete.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A link-failure test retains the required campus reachability without creating Layer 2 loops. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: The network has two data rooms and the plan provides only one unprotected uplink from each access layer. It would follow the distinct action: Specify redundant uplinks and an appropriate loop-safe high-availability topology for each failure domain. Here the reported failure is An implementation plan budgets enough PoE for average device load but not the concurrent worst-case startup draw. The decisive result for Northpoint Health must instead be: An inventory and startup test stay within the documented total PoE budget and per-port limits.

B:

An engineer can access the device under an in-band outage without exposing insecure remote-management services. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: A remote distribution switch will be installed before the in-band network exists, with no recovery path planned. It would follow the distinct action: Provide out-of-band or console access, initial provisioning steps and secure recovery procedures. Here the reported failure is An implementation plan budgets enough PoE for average device load but not the concurrent worst-case startup draw. The decisive result for Northpoint Health must instead be: An inventory and startup test stay within the documented total PoE budget and per-port limits.

C:

A tested image rollout uses only supported software for each platform and retains recovery paths. Such an observation would verify a separate issue: An upgrade includes two switch families with different supported software images but one universal image plan. It would follow the distinct action: Build a model-by-model image, compatibility, maintenance and rollback matrix. Here the reported failure is An implementation plan budgets enough PoE for average device load but not the concurrent worst-case startup draw. The decisive result for Northpoint Health must instead be: An inventory and startup test stay within the documented total PoE budget and per-port limits.

Question 61

At Riverton Utilities, the operations-center network team is preparing a dispatch network revision. The operational constraint is dispatch continuity under link failure. The site acceptance review finds: A campus migration lacks an address plan for routed links, management interfaces and switch virtual interfaces. Which action BEST corrects the stated problem?

  1. Build a model-by-model image, compatibility, maintenance and rollback matrix.
  2. Inventory endpoint capabilities and specify approved authentication alternatives and exception policies.
  3. Create a port-by-port VLAN membership and trunk-allowlist implementation matrix before configuration.
  4. Allocate nonoverlapping subnets, management addresses, SVI gateways and routing adjacencies in the implementation plan.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Allocate nonoverlapping subnets, management addresses, SVI gateways and routing adjacencies in the implementation plan. This response directly addresses the observed condition: A campus migration lacks an address plan for routed links, management interfaces and switch virtual interfaces. For Riverton Utilities during a dispatch network revision, the decisive check is not merely that a configuration was entered: An IPAM review finds no duplicate addresses and reachability tests cover each routed and management subnet. That evidence connects the proposed correction to measurable forwarding or management behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Build a model-by-model image, compatibility, maintenance and rollback matrix. That relates to a different fault: An upgrade includes two switch families with different supported software images but one universal image plan. The incident in the scenario is instead: A campus migration lacks an address plan for routed links, management interfaces and switch virtual interfaces. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Riverton Utilities; the relevant confirmation would be: An IPAM review finds no duplicate addresses and reachability tests cover each routed and management subnet.

B:

Inventory endpoint capabilities and specify approved authentication alternatives and exception policies. That relates to a different fault: A security design demands 802.1X at every access port without accounting for non-supplicant printers or devices. The incident in the scenario is instead: A campus migration lacks an address plan for routed links, management interfaces and switch virtual interfaces. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Riverton Utilities; the relevant confirmation would be: An IPAM review finds no duplicate addresses and reachability tests cover each routed and management subnet.

C:

Create a port-by-port VLAN membership and trunk-allowlist implementation matrix before configuration. That relates to a different fault: An installation plan identifies VLAN names but never assigns VLAN IDs to access ports and uplinks. The incident in the scenario is instead: A campus migration lacks an address plan for routed links, management interfaces and switch virtual interfaces. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Riverton Utilities; the relevant confirmation would be: An IPAM review finds no duplicate addresses and reachability tests cover each routed and management subnet.

Question 62

At Riverton Utilities, the operations-center network team is preparing a dispatch network revision. The operational constraint is dispatch continuity under link failure. A production-readiness reviewer asks for proof addressing: A campus migration lacks an address plan for routed links, management interfaces and switch virtual interfaces. Which result BEST demonstrates that this specific issue was resolved?

  1. Link tests confirm supported optics and acceptable receive power and errors over the installed cabling.
  2. An inventory and startup test stay within the documented total PoE budget and per-port limits.
  3. An IPAM review finds no duplicate addresses and reachability tests cover each routed and management subnet.
  4. The topology validation confirms failover and gateway availability consistent with the selected architecture.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

An IPAM review finds no duplicate addresses and reachability tests cover each routed and management subnet. This is the relevant acceptance observation for the reported issue: A campus migration lacks an address plan for routed links, management interfaces and switch virtual interfaces.
