HPE Aruba Certified Mobility Professional (ACMP) — Question 34

A network administrator needs to find the source of a performance issue. The administrator has seen that interfaces sometimes start to drop many packets, but the issue is intermittent, and the administrator is not sure exactly when it happens. The administrator wants to be alerted when interfaces start to drop packets.
The switches already have an SNMP trap server configured on them.
What else should an administrator do on these switches?

Answer options

• A. Enable link change SNMP traps on the switch
• B. Set up RMON alarms on dropped packet statistics
• C. Set the trap server to inform mode
• D. Enable debugging to the session

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because setting the trap server to inform mode allows for more reliable notification of events, such as packet drops. Option A is incorrect as enabling link change SNMP traps does not specifically address packet drop issues. Option B, while useful for monitoring, does not provide immediate alerts. Option D is not ideal since enabling debugging can create unnecessary overhead and is not a proactive alerting method.
