HPE6-A45 Exam - Question 32


Refer to the exhibits.

Exhibit 1 -

Exhibit 2 -

Network administrators are alerted to high interface utilization on a switch by a management solution. They examine the utilization on the uplink interfaces several times an hour during problem times. The exhibit shows output typical of times of congestion. The administrators want to allocate bandwidth fairly and reduce congestion on the uplinks.

What could help meet these requirements?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

To address high interface utilization and reduce congestion on the uplink interfaces, applying an outbound (egress) rate limit on each edge port can help. This will prevent individual edge devices from consuming excessive bandwidth, thus ensuring more balanced usage across the network. The data in the exhibits show significant utilization with minimal broadcast traffic, so focusing on outbound traffic limiting at the edge is more effective.

C is not good. There're few broadcast on the network, see the output.

Unlink other rate limits, you must apply egress per-queue rate limits to a link aggregation (trunk interface) rather than the individual interfaces within the link aggregation. However, the limit applies separately to each interface within the link aggregation. B

B. creating an "egress" rate limit on end points restricts endpoints from consuming too much bandwidth, and congesting the switch's uplinks
