You are deploying a VXLAN overlay network. You need to configure the switch to identify which Virtual Network Identifier (VNI) belongs to which VRF for tenant segmentation. Which command hierarchy establishes this mapping?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
In ArubaOS-CX, the mapping of a VNI to a VRF (for L3 VNI / Routing) is done under the VXLAN interface context. You define the VNI and then associate it with a VRF. Example:
interface vxlan 1,vni 1000,vrf tenant-red. - 2

A network administrator observes that a specific VSX pair is not synchronizing configuration changes. The 'show vsx status' command indicates 'Config Sync: Disabled'. What is the most likely reason for this state?
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
VSX configuration synchronization is not automatic for the entire config. It is enabled on a per-feature basis (e.g.,
vsx-syncunder VLANs, interfaces, or global context). If no sync is configured, or if the global sync process is halted, it might show disabled or not operational. However, usually 'Disabled' implies the feature isn't turned on or the ISL is down. - 4
True or False: In an ArubaOS-CX OSPFv3 configuration, you must manually configure a 32-bit Router ID because OSPFv3 cannot automatically derive it from IPv6 addresses.
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
OSPFv3 uses a 32-bit Router ID (like 1.1.1.1). Since IPv6 addresses are 128-bit, the router cannot just 'pick' an IPv6 address to use as the ID. If there are no IPv4 addresses configured on the router to borrow from, the Router ID MUST be manually configured, or the process will not start.

You are troubleshooting a multicast issue where the downstream receivers are not receiving the stream. The environment uses PIM-SM with a Static RP. You verify that the source is sending traffic to the RP, but the RP is not forwarding it to the last-hop router. What is the most likely missing configuration on the last-hop router?
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
In PIM-SM, the Last-Hop Router (LHR) must know the address of the Rendezvous Point (RP) to send PIM Join messages (*, G) upstream towards the RP when it receives an IGMP Report from a receiver. If the RP is statically defined, it MUST be configured on ALL routers in the PIM domain, including the LHR.
