An engineer needs to implement Policy-Based Routing (PBR) on an Aruba CX 6300 switch to route traffic from the 'Guest' VLAN (10.10.20.0/24) to a specific firewall IP (192.168.1.50) instead of the default gateway. What is the correct order of operations to configure this?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
The workflow in AOS-CX is: 1) Define a Classifier (traffic match criteria), 2) Define a PBR Action (next-hop list), 3) Create a Policy that binds the Classifier to the Action, 4) Apply the Policy to the VLAN interface or routed port.

You are debugging a connectivity issue between two Aruba CX switches connected via a link aggregation group (LAG). The LAG is not coming up. You run 'show lacp interfaces' and see the Actor State as 'AL'. What does this state indicate?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
In LACP state flags, 'A' stands for Active mode (vs Passive), and 'L' stands for Long Timeout (vs Short). If the LAG isn't up, but flags are AL, it means the local side is configured correctly as Active but likely not receiving LACP PDUs from the peer, or the peer is misconfigured (e.g., mismatching keys or passive mode on both ends).

A network architect is designing a campus network using Aruba CX 8400 switches. They need to ensure that voice traffic is strictly prioritized over data traffic during congestion. Which queuing algorithm should be assigned to the Voice queue to ensure it is serviced before any other queue?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
Strict Priority (SP) ensures that the queue is emptied before the scheduler moves to the next lower priority queue. This is ideal for latency-sensitive traffic like Voice (VoIP), ensuring minimal delay and jitter.

Case Study: GlobalFinance Corp has a dual-site data center connected via a 10Gbps Metro Ethernet link. They use Aruba CX 8325 switches. They are experiencing issues where OSPF adjacencies flap randomly. The link utilization is low (10%).
Investigation reveals the Metro Ethernet provider occasionally drops packets larger than 1450 bytes.
Which configuration change on the OSPF interfaces is the BEST solution to stabilize the adjacency without changing the physical link MTU?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
If the provider is dropping large packets (MTU issue) but the physical interfaces are set to default (1500), OSPF DB Description packets might be dropped if they are large. Since we cannot change the provider's behavior or the physical MTU easily, using 'ip ospf mtu-ignore' prevents the OSPF process from checking the MTU mismatch in the Hello packet, allowing adjacency to form. However, a better long-term fix is adjusting the interface MTU to match the path, but 'mtu-ignore' stabilizes the flapping immediately if the issue is just the check failing or slight mismatches.

What is the primary function of the 'checkpoint' feature in ArubaOS-CX?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
Checkpoints in AOS-CX are snapshots of the configuration database. They allow administrators to restore the switch to a known good state using the 'checkpoint rollback' command, which is critical for safe change management.

You are working with a customer who has a pair of Aruba 8325 switches configured for Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation. The customer is complaining that users are experiencing intermittent packet drops. Which action should be taken to quickly aid you in identifying the cause? A.Setup a mirror session to filter packets for TCPDUMP analysis.B.Setup a mirror session to generate a Tshark file.C.Check the configured VLANs using “show vsx config-consistency”D.Enable debug of vrf with “console” set as the destination.
