Which actions should be taken before deploying a configuration change to Aruba switches? (Select two.)

Question

Options

• APerform a rollback plan test
• BApply changes directly to all switches simultaneously
• CVerify the configuration in a test environment
• DDisable all redundant links before applying changes

• A
  88% (30)
• B
  6% (2)
• D
  6% (2)

Explanation

Before deploying any configuration change to production network infrastructure like Aruba switches, verifying in a test environment (C) ensures the change behaves as expected without risking live traffic, and performing a rollback plan test (A) confirms you can quickly restore the previous state if something goes wrong - both are foundational change management practices.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is dangerous: applying changes to all switches simultaneously eliminates the ability to catch errors before they cascade across the entire network; always stage changes incrementally.
• D is counterproductive: disabling redundant links removes your safety net (failover paths) right before a risky change, maximizing potential downtime if the change causes issues.

Memory tip: Think "Test before you touch, and plan your escape route" - C = test environment first, A = escape route (rollback) tested and ready. Both happen before production, never during or after.
