Question 80

A branch dual-stack deployment shows working IPv4 but IPv6 clients never learn the expected router preference on their VLAN. The review requires TWO complementary actions: one diagnostic check and one controlled configuration remedy. Select TWO actions that together meet those requirements.

  1. Review LLDP neighbor identifiers, chassis and port IDs and the physical patching record for the affected link.
  2. Review ICMPv6 router advertisements, RA flags, prefix information and default-route installation at the client.
  3. Match both ends' LACP settings and compatible member parameters in the approved aggregation group.
  4. Activate appropriate authorized IPv6 RA behavior on the correct gateway interface with intended prefix and policy.

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

Review ICMPv6 router advertisements, RA flags, prefix information and default-route installation at the client. IPv6 clients commonly learn prefixes and default-router presence from RAs; IPv4 DHCP success does not validate that control plane. This is the required diagnosis or controlled remedy; the other keyed action supplies the complementary role. The decision applies to the described ipv6 ra and default-router discovery situation.

D:

Activate appropriate authorized IPv6 RA behavior on the correct gateway interface with intended prefix and policy. IPv6 clients commonly learn prefixes and default-router presence from RAs; IPv4 DHCP success does not validate that control plane. This is the required diagnosis or controlled remedy; the other keyed action supplies the complementary role. The decision applies to the described ipv6 ra and default-router discovery situation.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Review LLDP neighbor identifiers, chassis and port IDs and the physical patching record for the affected link. This instead concerns lldp neighbor identification. LLDP exposes directly connected device identifiers, helping distinguish mispatching from routing or WLAN failures without guessing topology. It is not one of the requested paired diagnosis and configuration actions. The immediate problem concerns ipv6 ra and default-router discovery.

C:

Match both ends' LACP settings and compatible member parameters in the approved aggregation group. This instead concerns lag uplink membership and hashing. LACP builds a logical link only from mutually compatible members; physical link-up does not guarantee aggregation eligibility. It is not one of the requested paired diagnosis and configuration actions. The immediate problem concerns ipv6 ra and default-router discovery.

Question 81

An access switch uplink is patched to an unexpected aggregation port, and interface descriptions no longer reflect physical topology. Which investigation would best isolate the immediate network dependency?

  1. Inspect LACP partner identifiers, actor state, member compatibility and active aggregated-port status.
  2. Inspect LLDP neighbor identifiers, chassis and port IDs and the physical patching record for the affected link.
  3. Inspect DHCP-provided resolver information, DNS name resolution and reachability to the management service endpoint.
  4. Inspect client DHCP discovery, relay destination configuration and permitted server reply path at the VLAN gateway.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Inspect LLDP neighbor identifiers, chassis and port IDs and the physical patching record for the affected link. LLDP exposes directly connected device identifiers, helping distinguish mispatching from routing or WLAN failures without guessing topology. The evidence check isolates the relevant prerequisite before a disruptive change. The decision applies to the described lldp neighbor identification situation.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Inspect LACP partner identifiers, actor state, member compatibility and active aggregated-port status. This instead concerns lag uplink membership and hashing. LACP builds a logical link only from mutually compatible members; physical link-up does not guarantee aggregation eligibility. It does not isolate the cause of the stated incident. The immediate problem concerns lldp neighbor identification.

C:

Inspect DHCP-provided resolver information, DNS name resolution and reachability to the management service endpoint. This instead concerns ap dns and management reachability. An AP can have valid local addressing while failing discovery if name resolution or reachability to its intended management service is broken. It does not isolate the cause of the stated incident. The immediate problem concerns lldp neighbor identification.

D:

Inspect client DHCP discovery, relay destination configuration and permitted server reply path at the VLAN gateway. This instead concerns dhcp scope and relay on routed vlans. A DHCP broadcast does not normally cross a routed boundary without relay; correct scope and return reachability are both necessary. It does not isolate the cause of the stated incident. The immediate problem concerns lldp neighbor identification.

Question 82

An access switch uplink is patched to an unexpected aggregation port, and interface descriptions no longer reflect physical topology. Which specific corrective design step best meets the stated campus requirement?

  1. Correct the cross-connect or approved port description and ensure supported LLDP operation on managed devices.
  2. Align both ends' LACP settings and compatible member parameters in the approved aggregation group.
  3. Set valid site DNS resolvers and the supported AP management destination in the existing provisioned configuration.
  4. Configure the appropriate DHCP relay on the routed interface and ensure the server scope and return path match the client subnet.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Correct the cross-connect or approved port description and ensure supported LLDP operation on managed devices. LLDP exposes directly connected device identifiers, helping distinguish mispatching from routing or WLAN failures without guessing topology. The proposed configuration targets the stated dependency without broadening unrelated access. The decision applies to the described lldp neighbor identification situation.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Align both ends' LACP settings and compatible member parameters in the approved aggregation group. This instead concerns lag uplink membership and hashing. LACP builds a logical link only from mutually compatible members; physical link-up does not guarantee aggregation eligibility. It would not implement the specifically required change. The immediate problem concerns lldp neighbor identification.

C:

Set valid site DNS resolvers and the supported AP management destination in the existing provisioned configuration. This instead concerns ap dns and management reachability. An AP can have valid local addressing while failing discovery if name resolution or reachability to its intended management service is broken. It would not implement the specifically required change. The immediate problem concerns lldp neighbor identification.

D:

Configure the appropriate DHCP relay on the routed interface and ensure the server scope and return path match the client subnet. This instead concerns dhcp scope and relay on routed vlans. A DHCP broadcast does not normally cross a routed boundary without relay; correct scope and return reachability are both necessary. It would not implement the specifically required change. The immediate problem concerns lldp neighbor identification.

Question 83

An access switch uplink is patched to an unexpected aggregation port, and interface descriptions no longer reflect physical topology. Following a targeted change, which acceptance test would most directly demonstrate success?

  1. Confirm both expected links are collecting and distributing and balanced flows pass without new interface errors.
  2. Verify the AP resolves the expected control-plane hostname and appears online in its assigned management inventory.
  3. Capture DHCP discover, relay, offer and acknowledgment packets to confirm clients receive appropriate leases.
  4. Validate bidirectional neighbor advertisements and match learned port IDs to the approved topology map.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Validate bidirectional neighbor advertisements and match learned port IDs to the approved topology map. LLDP exposes directly connected device identifiers, helping distinguish mispatching from routing or WLAN failures without guessing topology. The result tests actual working behavior, not merely a saved configuration. The decision applies to the described lldp neighbor identification situation.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Confirm both expected links are collecting and distributing and balanced flows pass without new interface errors. This instead concerns lag uplink membership and hashing. LACP builds a logical link only from mutually compatible members; physical link-up does not guarantee aggregation eligibility. It would not establish that this function actually works. The immediate problem concerns lldp neighbor identification.

B:

Verify the AP resolves the expected control-plane hostname and appears online in its assigned management inventory. This instead concerns ap dns and management reachability. An AP can have valid local addressing while failing discovery if name resolution or reachability to its intended management service is broken. It would not establish that this function actually works. The immediate problem concerns lldp neighbor identification.

C:

Capture DHCP discover, relay, offer and acknowledgment packets to confirm clients receive appropriate leases. This instead concerns dhcp scope and relay on routed vlans. A DHCP broadcast does not normally cross a routed boundary without relay; correct scope and return reachability are both necessary. It would not establish that this function actually works. The immediate problem concerns lldp neighbor identification.

Question 84

An access switch uplink is patched to an unexpected aggregation port, and interface descriptions no longer reflect physical topology. The change fails acceptance. What is the safest targeted restoration action?

  1. Restore the former compatible LAG membership and disable the mismatched link until its configuration is corrected.
  2. Restore the last verified DNS settings for the site and confirm AP control connectivity before retrying the change.
  3. Return the patch to the documented known-good uplink and restore accurate port inventory if the change fails.
  4. Reinstate the previous relay configuration and server route to restore leases while the new path is investigated.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Return the patch to the documented known-good uplink and restore accurate port inventory if the change fails. LLDP exposes directly connected device identifiers, helping distinguish mispatching from routing or WLAN failures without guessing topology. The focused rollback restores a known safe baseline before another change attempt. The decision applies to the described lldp neighbor identification situation.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Restore the former compatible LAG membership and disable the mismatched link until its configuration is corrected. This instead concerns lag uplink membership and hashing. LACP builds a logical link only from mutually compatible members; physical link-up does not guarantee aggregation eligibility. It would not safely roll back the relevant failed change. The immediate problem concerns lldp neighbor identification.

B:

Restore the last verified DNS settings for the site and confirm AP control connectivity before retrying the change. This instead concerns ap dns and management reachability. An AP can have valid local addressing while failing discovery if name resolution or reachability to its intended management service is broken. It would not safely roll back the relevant failed change. The immediate problem concerns lldp neighbor identification.

D:

Reinstate the previous relay configuration and server route to restore leases while the new path is investigated. This instead concerns dhcp scope and relay on routed vlans. A DHCP broadcast does not normally cross a routed boundary without relay; correct scope and return reachability are both necessary. It would not safely roll back the relevant failed change. The immediate problem concerns lldp neighbor identification.

Question 85

A classroom AP inventory lists the wrong switchport because a port was repatched without updating topology records. Before implementing a remedy, what should the engineer check first?

  1. Review LACP partner identifiers, actor state, member compatibility and active aggregated-port status.
  2. Review LLDP neighbor identifiers, chassis and port IDs and the physical patching record for the affected link.
  3. Review DHCP-provided resolver information, DNS name resolution and reachability to the management service endpoint.
  4. Review client DHCP discovery, relay destination configuration and permitted server reply path at the VLAN gateway.

Question 86

A classroom AP inventory lists the wrong switchport because a port was repatched without updating topology records. After the root cause is confirmed, which narrowly scoped configuration action should be selected?

  1. Repair the cross-connect or approved port description and ensure supported LLDP operation on managed devices.
  2. Match both ends' LACP settings and compatible member parameters in the approved aggregation group.
  3. Apply valid site DNS resolvers and the supported AP management destination in the existing provisioned configuration.
  4. Set up the appropriate DHCP relay on the routed interface and ensure the server scope and return path match the client subnet.
