HP Exam HPE6-A85 Topic 8 Question 30 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE6-A85 exam

Question #: 30
Topic #: 8

You have been asked to troubleshoot failed connectivity between a local subnet in the HQ Office and a remote subnet in the Branch Office. PC1 is unable to ping PC2.

Use the provided topology and show command output to identify the reason for the failure:

AOn Branch Office - L3-SW-2- There is no Layer 3 SVI configured in the correct subnet.

BOn HQ Office L3-SW-1 - There is no route to the Branch Office.

COn HQ Office L3-SW-1 - The switch does not have a static default route to the internet.

DOn Branch Office L3-SW-2- The switch does not have a static route to the HQ Office Local Subnet.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Using the provided topology and show command output, it can be determined that L3-SW-2 in the Branch Office does not have a route to reach the subnet where PC1 resides (192.168.1.0/24 in the HQ Office). L3-SW-1 in the HQ Office has a route to the Branch Office subnet (172.16.1.0/24), but without the reciprocal route on L3-SW-2, traffic from the Branch Office will not be able to reach the HQ Office subnet, hence PC1 cannot ping PC2.

Yeah, D is definitely the issue here. Gotta love those pesky routing problems. At least it's not a hardware failure, that would be a real headache!

Hah, I bet the network admin is kicking themselves for forgetting that static route. Hope they don't have to explain this one to the boss!

The network admin is definitely going to have some explaining to do.

Yeah, that's probably why PC1 can't ping PC2. They need to fix that.

Looks like someone forgot to add a static route on the Branch Office switch.

That makes sense. Let's check the configuration on L3-SW-2 to see if that's the problem.

I agree, D is the right answer. Without a static route, the Branch Office switch won't know how to reach the HQ subnet. Simple routing fix, but crucial for the connectivity.

Definitely, a simple routing fix can make a big difference in network connectivity.

So, adding a static route on the Branch Office switch should solve the problem.

Yes, that's right. Without the static route, the connectivity between the subnets won't work.

I think the issue is with the Branch Office switch not having a static route to the HQ subnet.

I agree with you, Kanisha. Option A mentions that there is no Layer 3 SVI configured in the correct subnet on L3-SW-2.

The correct answer is D. The Branch Office L3-SW-2 switch doesn't have a static route to the HQ Office Local Subnet. The topology shows the networks are connected, but the routing configuration is missing.
