VNX301 Exam Results

The correct answer is A . Versa CGNAT troubleshooting documentation shows the command show cgnat acl info < tenant-id > for viewing CGNAT access lists used for traffic matching. The example output includes columns such as ACL handle , RuleId , Category , Precedence , VRF , Source IP , and Destination IP . It also shows tenant ID and total filters.

This command is useful when a CGNAT rule exists in configuration but sessions are not being translated. By checking the ACL output, the administrator can confirm whether the correct source prefix, destination prefix, VRF, and rule precedence are actually programmed in the dataplane. If the wrong VRF or subnet is shown, the rule may never match the intended traffic.

System uptime and CPU usage are operational health indicators. SLA metrics are SD-WAN path-quality values. BGP AS path and local preference are routing attributes. None of these directly show CGNAT access-list match programming.

The correct answer is B . The exhibit shows the OSPF neighbor in the exst state, which means Exchange Start . Versa documentation lists the OSPF neighbor state codes and identifies exst as “exchange start,” followed by exchange, loading, and full. In normal OSPF adjacency formation, neighbors progress through initialization and two-way communication before they negotiate database exchange. If the neighbor becomes stuck in ExStart or Exchange, a common and highly probable cause is an MTU mismatch between the two OSPF peers. During database description packet negotiation, the peers must agree on parameters that allow LSDB exchange; an MTU mismatch can prevent the adjacency from advancing to Full.

Option A is less likely because an area mismatch usually prevents the neighbor relationship from forming correctly rather than leaving it stuck in ExStart. Option C is also incorrect because the neighbor has already progressed beyond early states, which indicates that bidirectional communication has occurred. Option D is not the best answer because dropping OSPF multicast 224.0.0.5 would typically prevent discovery or keep the adjacency in an earlier state, not specifically in ExStart. Therefore, the probable cause is an interface MTU mismatch.
