✍️ 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. 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.
3. What is a BGP Route Target (RT) in EVPN and what does it control?
Route Targets are BGP extended communities attached to EVPN routes; VRFs are configured to export routes with specific RTs and import routes carrying matching RTs, controlling the distribution of tenant routes.
4. On Aruba AOS-CX, which interface type is typically configured as the VTEP source interface for VXLAN tunnels?
A loopback interface is used as the VTEP source because it is always logically up, stable, and reachable via multiple equal-cost paths in the underlay for redundancy.
5. Which AOS-CX command displays the IPv6 neighbor cache, equivalent to the IPv4 ARP table?
The `show ipv6 neighbors` command displays the IPv6 neighbor cache that maps IPv6 addresses to MAC addresses, maintained by NDP rather than ARP.
6. What is the primary role of PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) in a multicast network?
PIM builds multicast distribution trees (shortest path trees or shared trees) and leverages the existing unicast routing table to forward multicast traffic between routers.
