HPE6-A45 Exam - Question 68


A network administrator needs to set up an AOS-Switch to use port-based tunneled node for connected devices. However, the administrator wants the switch to forward traffic without tunneling if it cannot reach a tunneled-node server.

What should the administrator do?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

To set up an AOS-Switch for port-based tunneled node while allowing it to forward traffic without tunneling if it cannot reach a tunneled-node server, the administrator should apply the tunneled-node profile to the ports and set the local-switching-fallback option. This configuration ensures that in the event of a connection failure to the tunneled-node server, the switch will revert to local switching, thus continuing to forward traffic without tunneling.

I think D is the correct answer. A has the wrong option name ("fallback-local-switching" is correct, not "local-switching-fallback")

When a port is in Tunneled Node, you are able to administer the security policies of that port from the Mobility Controller (MC). Things like IP connectivity between the Mobility Access Switch (MAS) and the Mobility Controller (MC) still have to be administered on each device individually. If the MC dies, then the Tunneled Node port assigned to it also goes with it. It does not fallback to local switching which is why we recommend either pointing Tunneled Node ports at two MCs using VRRP or configure a backup MC if it is on a different L3 segment from the primary. Think D is the way to go.
