HPE Aruba Certified Professional (ACP) – SD-WAN — Question 84

You are monitoring the traffic across the physical members of a LAG between two switches and have noticed that traffic is unevenly distributed. Using sFlow, you have determined that the majority of the traffic is between one client and one server on multiple transport layer destination ports.
Based on this information, which hash algorithm should you configure?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, l4-src-dst, since it considers both source and destination IP addresses as well as transport layer ports, which is essential for balancing traffic between a client and server across multiple ports. The other options focus on different layers; l3-src-dst looks only at IP addresses, l2-src-dst is limited to MAC addresses, and l1-src-dst does not consider any source or destination information at all.
