The company wants to minimize congestion on Link 1.
Which spanning tree implementation meets this goal?

Instance 1 = VLANs 4-5 Instance 2 = VLANs 6-7 Switch 2 instance 1 priority = 0 Switch 2 instance 2 priority = 1 Switch 3 instance 1 priority = 1 Switch 3 instance 2 priority = 0

Instance 1 = VLANs 4,6 Instance 2 = VLANs 5,7 Switch 2 instance 1 priority = 0 Switch 2 instance 2 priority = 1 Switch 3 instance 1 priority = 1 Switch 3 instance 2 priority = 0

Instance 1 = VLANs 4,6 Instance 2 = VLANs 5,7 Switch 2 instance 1 priority = 0 Switch 2 instance 2 priority = 1 Switch 3 instance 1 priority = 0 Switch 3 instance 2 priority = 1

Instance 1 = VLANs 4-5 Instance 2 = VLANs 6-7 Switch 2 instance 1 priority = 0 Switch 2 instance 2 priority = 1 Switch 3 instance 1 priority = 0 Switch 3 instance 2 priority = 1

Correct Answer: B

To minimize congestion on Link 1, switch-to-switch traffic should be evenly distributed across the switches. By assigning Switch 2 as the root for VLANs 4 and 6, and Switch 3 as the root for VLANs 5 and 7 (as detailed in Option B), traffic will be better balanced. This ensures that no single link is disproportionately utilized, thereby minimizing congestion on Link 1.

Question 7 of 169

Refer to the exhibit.
Exam HPE6-A45: Question 7 - Image 1

The network administrator enables DHCP snooping globally and on VLAN 2. An additional step is mandatory for DHCP snooping to operate correctly and for clients to receive DHCP settings.
What is the additional mandatory step?

Define trk1 as a trusted DHCP port.

Define an authorized DHCP server.

Enable ARP protection.

Define edge ports as untrusted DHCP ports.

Correct Answer: A

To ensure DHCP snooping operates correctly and clients receive the appropriate DHCP settings, you need to define the trunk port (trk1) as a trusted DHCP port. By default, all ports, including trunk ports, are considered untrusted, which means DHCP offers and acknowledgments cannot pass through them. Defining the trunk port as trusted allows the legitimate DHCP traffic to be forwarded to the clients.

Question 8 of 169

Refer to the exhibit.
action. Device 1 crosses the threshold and triggers the action.
What does the switch do?

It temporarily drops all IP traffic from Device 1 only.

It temporarily drops all IP traffic on interface 1.

It drops all IP traffic from Device 1 until the host is manually unblocked.

It drops all IP traffic on interface 1 until the interface is manually unblocked.

Correct Answer: A

When Device 1 crosses the threshold and triggers the action, the switch temporarily drops all IP traffic from Device 1 only. This is in line with how connection rate filtering typically functions, where the specific offending device is targeted rather than an entire interface.

Question 9 of 169

What must an OSPF router do to ensure nonstop routing should a standby member take over as commander when the original VSF commander fails?

It must run the shortest path first algorithm.

It must participate in a new election for the Designated Router.

It must initiate a graceful restart.

It must re-establish adjacency with its Designated Router.

Correct Answer: C

Question 10 of 169

Two AOS-Switches are directly interconnected. The network administrator wants to prevent broadcast storms and other Layer 2 issues that could occur if there is physical damage to a cable.
Which technology should the administrator implement on the connected switch interfaces?

MAC Lockdown

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)

Spanning Tree Root Guard

Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD)

Correct Answer: D
