Question #: 50
Topic #: 11

Review the exhibit.

You are troubleshooting an issue with a 10 102.39 0/24 subnet which is also VLAN 1000 used Tor wireless clients on a pair of Aruba CX 8360 switches The subnet SVI is configured on the 8360 pair, and the DHCP server is a Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Standard with an IP address of 10 200 1.100. The 10.102.250.0/24 subnet is used for switch management.

A large number of DHCP requests are failing You are observing sporadic DHCP behavior across clients attached to the CX 6100 switch.

Which action may help fix the issue?

AOption A

BOption B

COption C

DOption D

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Option C is the only action that configures the DHCP relay on the SVI of VLAN 1000 on the CX 8360 switches. DHCP relay is a feature that allows a switch to forward DHCP requests from clients in one subnet to a DHCP server in another subnet.DHCP relay is required when the DHCP server and the clients are not in the same broadcast domain1.

Option C uses the following commands:

interface vlan 1000: This command enters the interface configuration mode for the SVI of VLAN 1000, which has an IP address of 10.102.39.1/24 and is used for wireless clients.

ip helper-address vrf default 10.200.1.100: This command configures the IP address of the DHCP server as a helper address for the SVI, which means that the switch will forward DHCP requests from clients on VLAN 1000 to this address. The vrf default parameter indicates that the SVI and the DHCP server are in the same VRF.

Not sure why they’d use VLAN 1000 for wireless, seems odd.

I vaguely recall that DHCP relay settings could impact requests. I wonder if that’s relevant here, but I’m not certain which option addresses that.

I’m a bit confused about the options. I feel like I need to look at the switch logs to see if there are any errors before deciding.

This reminds me of a practice question where we had to troubleshoot DHCP requests. I think it was about checking the SVI settings.

I remember we discussed DHCP issues in class, and I think it might be related to VLAN configurations. Not sure which option to choose though.

I'm a bit confused by all the subnet and VLAN details. I'll need to make sure I understand the network topology before I can decide on the best course of action.

The DHCP server is on a different subnet, that could be an issue.

Based on the information provided, I think Option C might be the way to go. Checking the DHCP server settings and ensuring the correct IP address is configured could help resolve the sporadic DHCP behavior.

Okay, let's see. The issue seems to be with DHCP requests failing on the wireless clients. I wonder if the DHCP server configuration or the switch port settings could be the problem.
