Discuss HP HPE7-A01 Exam Topic 2 Question 31

With the Aruba CX 6000 24G switch with uplinks of 1/1/25 and what does the switch do when a client port detects a loop and the do-not-disabie parameter is used?

APort status will be validated once status is cleared

BAn event log message is created.

CThe network analytics engine is triggered.

DPort status led blinks in amber with 100hz.

Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is B. An event log message is created.

The do-not-disable parameter is used to prevent the switch from disabling the port when a loop is detected by the loop-protect feature. Instead, the switch will generate an event log message that indicates the port number and the VLAN ID where the loop was detected. The switch will also send a trap to the SNMP manager, if configured1.

The other options are incorrect because:

A) Port status will not be validated once status is cleared. The port will remain enabled even if a loop is detected, unless the loop-protect action is changed to tx-disable or tx-rx-disable1.

C) The network analytics engine will not be triggered by a loop detection. The network analytics engine is a feature that allows users to monitor and troubleshoot network issues using scripts and agents2.

D) Port status LED will not blink in amber with 100Hz. The port status LED will indicate the normal port status, such as link speed and activity, regardless of the loop detection3.

The port status led blinking amber is just a visual cue, right?

Shenika 11 months ago

I didn’t know about the do-not-disable parameter. Interesting!

Alecia 11 months ago

Wait, are you sure? I thought it would trigger the analytics engine.

Glory 12 months ago

Definitely B! That’s how it works.

Joni 12 months ago

I think it logs an event message when a loop is detected.

Julio 12 months ago

I feel like the port status being validated is a possibility, but I can't recall if that's the main action taken.

Yolando 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused about the "do-not-disable" parameter. Does it mean the port stays active even if there's a loop?

Lashon 1 year ago

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think the network analytics engine gets triggered in such cases.

Alaine 1 year ago

I think when a loop is detected, the switch might log an event message, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right answer.

Hollis 1 year ago

Alright, let's break this down step-by-step. The switch has 24 client ports, and the uplinks are 1/1/25. When a client port detects a loop and the do-not-disable parameter is used, the switch creates an event log message. I'm feeling good about B as the answer.

Kelvin 1 year ago

Okay, let me think this through. The switch has uplinks of 1/1/25, and the question is asking what happens when a client port detects a loop and the do-not-disable parameter is used. I'm pretty confident the answer is B, an event log message is created.

Emilio 1 year ago

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the details about the Aruba CX 6000 24G switch and the do-not-disable parameter.

Annmarie 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the do-not-disable parameter is related to loop detection, but I can't quite remember the specific behavior. I'll need to review my notes on Aruba switch configurations to be sure.

I'm a bit confused about how to adjust the retained earnings after the insurance premiums were over-expensed. Do we consider the tax effect?

Lauran 2 years ago

Is it just me, or does this question sound like a party trick? 'Hey, wanna see my switch do a 100Hz amber blink?' Anyway, I'm going with B.

Definitely. It helps with troubleshooting and maintenance.

I agree. It's important to have that kind of logging in place.

Yeah, that makes sense. It's a good way to keep track of any issues.

I think it's B too. An event log message is created.

Noel 2 years ago

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm torn between B and C, but I'll go with B since it seems like the more straightforward response to a loop detection.

User 3: Yeah, B) sounds like the right choice in this scenario.

Julio 2 years ago

D looks interesting, but I'm not sure if the port status LED blinking in amber is the correct action when the do-not-disable parameter is used. I'll go with B.

I'm not sure, but I think C) The network analytics engine is triggered could also be a possibility.

I agree with Eileen, because it makes sense for the switch to log such events for troubleshooting.

Eileen 2 years ago

I think the answer is B) An event log message is created.

Onita 2 years ago

I think the answer is B. An event log message is created. This makes the most sense given the information provided.
