HPE7-A01 Exam - Topic 8 Question 15 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A01 exam
Question #: 15
Topic #: 8
[All HPE7-A01 Questions]

A customer is using a legacy application that communicates at layer-2. The customer would like to keep this application working across the campus which is connected via layer-3. The legacy devices are connected to Aruba CX 6300 switches throughout the campus.

Which technology minimizes flooding so the legacy application can work efficiently?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Active gateway is a first hop redundancy protocol that eliminates a single point of failure. The active gateway feature is used to increase the availability of the default gateway servicing hosts on the same subnet. An active gateway improves the reliability and performance of the host network by enabling a virtual router to act as the default gateway for that network.If you have enabled active gateway, VRRP is not required3. Active gateway is similar to VRRP in that routed traffic from the VSX node is sourced from the switch interface MAC and not the virtual MAC address (VMAC). Each active gateway sends a periodic broadcast hello packet to avoid VMAC aging on the access switches.The switch views the active gateway IP as a self IP address3.Active gateway is preferable over VRRP because with VRRP traffic is still pushed over the ISL link, resulting in latency in the network3. Therefore, VRRP and active gateway are mutually exclusive on a VLAN, and answer A is correct.

Ethernet over IP sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it specifically helps with flooding. I wish I had reviewed that section more thoroughly!

I’m leaning towards EVPN-VXLAN too, but I’m a bit confused about how it compares to Static VXLAN in terms of efficiency.

I think GRE is more about tunneling and might not really address the flooding issue directly. I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before.

I'm pretty confident that EVPN-VXLAN is the way to go here. It allows you to extend layer-2 domains over a layer-3 network while avoiding the flooding issues.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to minimize flooding for the legacy layer-2 application, so EVPN-VXLAN is likely the best choice.

This seems like a straightforward question about managing resource dependencies in CloudFormation. I think option B is the way to go - using the DependsOn attribute to ensure the RDS instance is created before the EC2 instance.

Okay, let me think this through. I need to make sure no one else can access the database while I'm setting the password, so I'll probably go with the "Open exclusively" option.

I heard the legacy application is so old, it still uses carrier pigeons for communication. EVPN-VXLAN is the perfect solution to keep those pigeons from getting lost!
