   An MLAG pair is configured with a peer link and a peer keepalive link. The peer link goes down, and the keepalive link is still up. The switches enter a state where one switch becomes the primary and the other becomes the secondary. What is the primary switch's behavior regarding MLAG ports?

   • ABoth switches block their MLAG ports until the peer link is restored.
   • BBoth switches keep their MLAG ports active, but the secondary switch drops all traffic.
   • CThe primary switch keeps its MLAG ports active, while the secondary switch blocks its MLAG ports.
   • DThe primary switch blocks its MLAG ports, and the secondary switch takes over all MLAG ports.

   An administrator is troubleshooting an MLAG pair where the peer link is up, but the MLAG domain is not operational. The 'show mlag detail' command shows that the keepalive link is down. What is the most likely cause of the MLAG domain not being operational?

   • AThe MLAG domain ID is mismatched between the two switches.
   • BThe peer link is not configured as a port-channel.
   • CThe keepalive link is down, which prevents the MLAG domain from forming.
   • DThe peer link is up, but the keepalive link is down, so the domain should still be operational.

   An MLAG pair is operating normally. Suddenly, the peer link fails, but the peer keepalive link remains operational. What is the expected behavior of the MLAG pair?

   • ABoth switches continue to forward traffic independently, and the MLAG ports remain active on both switches.
   • BOne switch becomes the primary and takes over all MLAG ports, while the other switch blocks its MLAG ports to prevent loops.
   • CThe switches automatically reboot to re-establish the peer link.
   • DBoth switches shut down all MLAG ports and rely on non-MLAG links for connectivity.

   What is the role of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) in an MLAG deployment?

   • ASTP is disabled on MLAG ports to allow all links to forward traffic
   • BSTP is used to synchronize MAC tables between the MLAG peers
   • CSTP is used to elect the primary switch in the MLAG domain
   • DSTP prevents loops in the rest of the network while MLAG handles the redundancy between the two switches

   Which of the following is a prerequisite for configuring an MLAG domain on Dell PowerSwitch devices?

   • ABoth switches must be in the same stacking unit
   • BBoth switches must be configured with the same hostname
   • CBoth switches must have the same software version and be directly connected via a peer link
   • DBoth switches must be connected to the same downstream device
