A network engineer is investigating intermittent packet loss and TCP session resets across a newly deployed hybrid cloud IPsec VPN tunnel connecting a corporate data center to an AWS VPC. After executing packet captures, the engineer confirms the hypothesis: transit packets exceeding the path MTU are being dropped because the DF (Don't Fragment) bit is set and ICMP Type 3 Code 4 messages are blocked by an upstream firewall. According to the CompTIA troubleshooting methodology, which TWO of the following actions should the engineer perform NEXT?
- Develop a structured implementation strategy to adjust MSS clamping and allow required ICMP control traffic.Cevap
- Analyze the potential operational impacts and adverse effects of applying interface MTU modifications on active production sessions.Cevap
- CUpdate the centralized change management database and network repository with root-cause analysis findings.
- DPerform end-to-end ping sweeps with max-sized payloads to confirm full system functionality and stability.
Cevap
The technician should develop a structured implementation strategy to adjust MSS clamping and analyze the potential operational impacts of the changes on production sessions.
In the CompTIA troubleshooting methodology, once a theory of probable cause has been tested and confirmed (Step 3), the network professional must proceed to Step 4: Establish a plan of action to resolve the problem and identify potential effects. Developing a structured implementation plan (adjusting MSS clamping and ICMP rules) and evaluating potential operational side effects on live production sessions are both essential components of this specific step.
