Medium796A company has a core network running OSPF in a single area (area 0). The network consists of four routers: R1, R2, R3, and R4. R1 is connected to R2 and R3. R2 is also connected to R4. R3 is also connected to R4. All links are GigabitEthernet with OSPF cost based on bandwidth (reference bandwidth 100 Gbps). The network engineer notices that traffic from R1 to a subnet behind R4 is taking a suboptimal path: R1 -> R2 -> R4, instead of R1 -> R3 -> R4 which has lower cost. Upon checking OSPF neighbor states, all adjacencies are full. The engineer verifies that the cost on the R1-R3 link is 10 and the cost on the R3-R4 link is 10, while the R1-R2 link cost is 20 and the R2-R4 link cost is 20. The total cost via R2 is 40, via R3 is 20. However, the routing table on R1 shows the next-hop as R2 for the subnet behind R4. What is the most likely cause?

Medium988A large enterprise uses a centralized automation platform based on Ansible Tower to manage its network infrastructure. The network consists of 500 Cisco IOS XE routers and switches distributed across multiple sites. The automation team has created a playbook that configures BGP peerings on all devices. The playbook uses the ios_bgp module. Recently, during a maintenance window, the playbook was run against a subset of devices that were supposed to be upgraded to a new IOS XE version. However, after the run, several devices lost their BGP configurations entirely. The team discovers that the new IOS XE version introduced a new BGP configuration model that is not fully compatible with the ios_bgp module's expected CLI commands. The playbook failed silently on those devices, and the existing BGP configuration was removed. The team needs to prevent this from happening in future maintenance windows. Which action should be taken?

Medium1338A financial services company has deployed Cisco UCS servers with VMware vSphere 7.0 to host critical trading applications. The network uses Cisco Nexus 9000 switches in a VXLAN EVPN fabric with BGP as the underlay. The environment includes 50 ESXi hosts, each connected via two 40G interfaces to two different leaf switches in a VPC. The VMs are spread across multiple hosts and communicate over VXLAN. Recently, the operations team migrated a set of VMs from an old VLAN-based network to a new VXLAN segment (VNI 50000). After the migration, users report intermittent connectivity issues and packet loss. The engineering team captures traffic and notices that some VMs send ARP requests that are not being replied to, even though the target VM is active. Further analysis shows that the ARP requests are being flooded to all VTEPs, but the replies are not reaching the source. The team checks the underlay and finds no issues with BGP or routing. The NVE interfaces are up, and the VNI is configured. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the issue?
