HP Exam HPE7-A07 Topic 1 Question 16 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A07 exam

Question #: 16
Topic #: 1

A customer is running out of IP addresses in a network segment. What will happen If they add an additional IPsubnet to the same VLAN?

ABroadcasts for me two subnets win arrive on all ports in the same VLAN

BIGMP will not work in both of the subnets in the same VLAN

CThis would result in a single SVI using two subinterfaces.

DUsers can reach each other and establish PTP traffic without passing an L3 point in the same VLAN

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Adding an additional IP subnet to the same VLAN means that devices configured with either subnet can communicate at Layer 2 without the need for routing. This is because they are on the same VLAN and thus in the same broadcast domain. However, to communicate between subnets, an L3 device or inter-VLAN routing would be required.

Wait, does that mean they're running out of IP addresses because they're using the same VLAN for everything? That's like using a single room for a whole family reunion!

Haha, I bet the network admin is pulling their hair out trying to figure out where all the IP addresses went!

D is just plain wrong. Traffic between the subnets would still need to pass through an L3 device, even within the same VLAN.

C seems like the most correct answer. Adding a new subnet would result in a single SVI with multiple subinterfaces.

So, users can still communicate with each other without needing to pass through a Layer 3 device, right?

Yeah, that makes sense. It would help manage the IP addresses more efficiently.

I think C is the correct answer. It would create a single SVI with multiple subinterfaces.

I'm not sure about B, as IGMP is used for multicast, and having multiple subnets in the same VLAN shouldn't affect that.

I'm not sure about the technical details, but I think users will still be able to reach each other without passing an L3 point.

Option A seems logical, as adding a new subnet to the same VLAN would cause broadcasts to be forwarded to all ports in that VLAN.

Yeah, that makes sense. It would definitely help with the IP address shortage.
