HPE Aruba Certified Professional (ACP) – SD-WAN — Question 36

A multicast configuration on an HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 VSF is used for a group address 239.0.0.1. The configuration is having issues, and the video streaming clients are not receiving the stream.
What would be a possible root cause for the problems experienced?

Answer options

• A. The IGMP is enabled on the VLANs without any multicast traffic.
• B. The IGMP-snooping is using version 2 configured for the SVI.
• C. The selected multicast address will overlay with Link-Local Multicast scope.
• D. The selected multicast address will overlay with PIM-SM discovery address.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the multicast address 239.0.0.1 overlaps with the Link-Local Multicast range, which can cause routing and delivery issues. Options A and B do not directly relate to the address conflict, and D is incorrect as 239.0.0.1 is not associated with PIM-SM discovery addresses.
