ACSP Network Monitoring and Management 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A technician needs to verify the LLDP neighbors connected to an Aruba switch. Which command provides this information?
- show cdp neighbors
- show lldp info remote-device (Correct answer)
- show arp
- show spanning-tree
Correct answer: show lldp info remote-device
The 'show lldp info remote-device' command displays details about devices discovered through LLDP on an Aruba switch.
Question 2: Which Aruba feature continuously monitors network health and uses AI/ML to identify anomalies in baseline behavior?
- ArubaOS-CX Analytics Framework
- Aruba Central AI Insights (Correct answer)
- RMON probes
- NetEdit
Correct answer: Aruba Central AI Insights
Aruba Central AI Insights uses machine learning to establish behavioral baselines and flag anomalies that deviate from normal network patterns.
Question 3: On an ArubaOS-CX switch, which command enables the Network Analytics Engine (NAE) script monitoring?
- nae enable
- analytics policy apply
- nae-script run
- apply nae-script <name> (Correct answer)
Correct answer: apply nae-script <name>
NAE scripts are activated using 'apply nae-script <name>' which binds the script to the switch for continuous monitoring.
Question 4: What is the purpose of the RMON (Remote Network Monitoring) MIB on a managed switch?
- To provide remote CLI access to the switch
- To collect and store network statistics for analysis without requiring continuous polling (Correct answer)
- To configure switch VLANs remotely via SNMP sets
- To enable GRE tunneling for traffic capture
Correct answer: To collect and store network statistics for analysis without requiring continuous polling
RMON allows the switch to autonomously collect and store detailed network statistics in its MIB, which can be retrieved by a management station without continuous polling.
Question 5: An administrator wants to use sFlow on an Aruba switch to analyze traffic patterns. What does sFlow sample?
- Every packet on monitored interfaces
- A statistical sample of packets at a configurable rate (Correct answer)
- Only ICMP and ARP packets
- Only inter-VLAN routed traffic
Correct answer: A statistical sample of packets at a configurable rate
sFlow uses statistical packet sampling at a configurable rate (e.g., 1 in 1000 packets) to provide traffic visibility with minimal switch overhead.
Question 6: Which command on an ArubaOS-CX switch displays the current system resource utilization including CPU and memory?
- show system resource-utilization
- show processes cpu
- show system (Correct answer)
- show resource-monitor
Correct answer: show system
The 'show system' command on ArubaOS-CX provides an overview of system health including CPU utilization, memory usage, and uptime.
Question 7: A network manager receives sporadic syslog messages but cannot determine the exact sequence of events. What should they enable to improve log correlation?
- SNMP v2c community strings
- NTP synchronization for accurate timestamps (Correct answer)
- RSPAN for traffic mirroring
- Spanning tree PortFast
Correct answer: NTP synchronization for accurate timestamps
Accurate NTP-synchronized timestamps on all switches ensure syslog messages can be chronologically correlated across multiple devices.
