✍️ Sample ACSP Questions & Answers
1. What is the primary purpose of IPv6 link-local addresses (FE80::/10)?
Link-local addresses are used for communication between devices on the same network segment and are automatically configured on every IPv6-enabled interface.
2. In a VSF stack, which member role is responsible for running the control plane and making forwarding decisions for the entire stack?
The Conductor is the primary control-plane switch in a VSF stack, managing all forwarding and configuration for the virtual fabric.
3. A network administrator wants to use two VRRP groups on the same VLAN to achieve load balancing. How is this accomplished?
Load balancing with VRRP is achieved by running two VRRP groups with different VRIDs, configuring each router as master of one group, and splitting hosts between the two virtual gateways.
4. Which AOS-CX command assigns a static IPv6 address to a VLAN interface?
The `ipv6 address 2001:db8::1/64` command is entered under a VLAN interface context to assign a static IPv6 address on AOS-CX.
5. Which ArubaOS-CX switch security feature prevents rogue devices from sending gratuitous ARP replies to poison ARP caches?
DAI validates all ARP packets including gratuitous ARPs against the DHCP snooping binding table, dropping those with mismatched IP-to-MAC bindings.
6. An ArubaOS-CX switch learns the same prefix via OSPF (AD 110) and RIP (AD 120). Which route is installed in the RIB?
Administrative distance is used to select between routes from different protocols; OSPF's AD of 110 is preferred over RIP's AD of 120.
