HP HPE7-A01 Practice Test 19

Question 180

A new 6 GHz WLAN cannot be seen by older dual-band laptops. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Configure a supported guest captive-portal workflow.
Verify neighbor assistance and actual roam trigger/timing.
Confirm clients support 6 GHz and the selected Wi-Fi 6E/7 security profile.
Use WPA3-SAE with compatible client support.

Explanation

Correct Answer

6 GHz discovery requires compatible client radio and security support. The engineer should confirm clients support 6 GHz and the selected Wi-Fi 6E/7 security profile.

Incorrect Answers

Captive portals add user onboarding beyond basic association. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

802.11k/v can aid roaming decisions but client behavior still matters. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

SAE provides password-based authenticated key exchange without legacy WPA2-PSK semantics. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 181

During campus implementation, a switch uplink is full-duplex and shows no shared-medium collisions. What should the engineer configure or correct?

Check Neighbor Discovery messages and router advertisements rather than ARP.
Apply 802.1X port access control with a supported authentication server.
Investigate errors, drops and congestion rather than expecting Ethernet CSMA/CD collisions.
Use 802.11 contention and collision-avoidance planning rather than Ethernet full-duplex assumptions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Modern switched full-duplex Ethernet does not use half-duplex collision detection. The engineer should investigate errors, drops and congestion rather than expecting Ethernet CSMA/CD collisions.

Incorrect Answers

IPv6 uses ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery for neighbor and router discovery. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

802.1X controls port authorization before granting authenticated network access. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

802.11 stations contend for shared airtime, so carrier-sense and backoff affect throughput. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 182

A customer reports WLAN slowness only at one time of day. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Compare RF interference, client density and scheduled activities by time.
Diff the current state against the last known-good configuration.
Check negotiated PoE class and switch power availability.
Check TCP port 179, source address and remote AS settings.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Time-correlated environmental changes can explain periodic performance drops. The engineer should compare RF interference, client density and scheduled activities by time.

Incorrect Answers

Change correlation narrows likely causes without assuming every recent edit is wrong. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Insufficient PoE can cause reduced AP functionality while link remains up. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

IP reachability alone does not establish BGP session negotiation. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 183

Following a campus change for this issue—multiple switches report the same default-gateway MAC flapping between ports—which result most directly verifies that the remedy works?

Compare connected routes, ARP for the gateway and management subnet plan.
Inspect negotiated media speed and both sides' interface counters.
Trace MAC moves and compare gateway configuration across devices.
Compare intended group assignment with the applied configuration audit.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Unplanned gateway MAC movement can reflect duplicated gateway identity or loops. Trace MAC moves and compare gateway configuration across devices directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Incorrect address/prefix selection prevents ordinary management routing. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Link establishment depends on mutually supported PHY settings. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

A management group determines the policy and configuration applied to its devices. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 184

The campus team is closing a service ticket about this condition: A campus switch should lock down management access without blocking data VLANs. Which validation step is most relevant?

Send management-sourced ping through the intended management VRF.
Capture tagged traffic and compare allowed VLAN lists on each end.
Try permitted and denied management connections from test hosts.
Confirm static route active state and VRF-specific adjacency.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Administrative access protection is distinct from normal endpoint forwarding. Try permitted and denied management connections from test hosts directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Dedicated management routing avoids mixing administration with production forwarding. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

An 802.1Q trunk transports multiple logical Ethernet networks. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Route installation and next-hop resolution are per routing context. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 185

An RF plan uses 80 MHz channels across a dense floor. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Check negotiated HE capability and scheduler/radio utilization.
Consolidate SSIDs when authorization roles can differentiate users.
Reduce channel width when reuse and contention require it.
Reduce noise/interference or reposition the cell.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Wide channels can reduce the number of independent neighboring cells. The engineer should reduce channel width when reuse and contention require it.

Incorrect Answers

OFDMA benefits depend on both AP and client support and actual traffic mix. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

More SSIDs increase beacon/management overhead. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

SNR combines received signal strength with background noise. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 186

The engineer reports completing this change: Deploy a supported VRRP first-hop redundancy group. Which verification should be included in the handover?

Disconnect one member and confirm remaining bundle throughput.
Exercise DHCP renewal with the primary server disabled in a lab.
Verify VLAN-to-instance mappings and active roots.
Force a master transition and confirm the virtual gateway stays reachable.

Explanation

Correct Answer

VRRP can provide a shared virtual gateway independent of a VSX pair. Force a master transition and confirm the virtual gateway stays reachable directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

LACP aggregation can survive individual member loss. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

DHCP address assignment should not depend on one failed server. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

MSTP can provide separate spanning-tree topologies for groups of VLANs. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 187

For an HPE Aruba Networking campus deployment, a backup WAN uplink is physically up but is not part of the intended routed path. Which action best addresses it?

Make the AP uplink native/tagged VLAN expectation match the switch port.
Configure or validate its next-hop reachability and routing policy.
Check device inventory, subscription assignment and outbound management reachability.
Assign them to the appropriate Central group or template scope.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Physical carrier state is distinct from an installed usable route. The engineer should configure or validate its next-hop reachability and routing policy.

Incorrect Answers

AP management requires consistent tagged versus untagged treatment. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Cloud onboarding requires identity, entitlement and network communication, not only an IP address. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

A management group determines the policy and configuration applied to its devices. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 188

A network team reports the following condition: A switch forwards traffic in the wrong VLAN after a trunk reconfiguration. Select the most appropriate response.

Apply management-plane ACL/RBAC and secure protocols.
Correct the 802.1Q tagging and native VLAN expectation.
Align supported MTU across the required link path.
Trust only approved voice marking and map traffic to suitable egress queues.

Explanation

Correct Answer

VLAN classification on ingress determines Layer 2 forwarding and segmentation. The engineer should correct the 802.1Q tagging and native VLAN expectation.

Incorrect Answers

Administrative access protection is distinct from normal endpoint forwarding. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Oversized frames can be dropped when intermediate L2 links have smaller MTU. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

QoS classification and queue maps control congestion behavior. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 189

After completing the planned work for this situation—an OSPF neighbor remains Down on an otherwise connected link—how should success be checked?

Inspect DR and BDR identities after a controlled election.
Inspect OSPF neighbor state and matching hello exchanges.
Capture hello packets and verify consistent timers.
Inject approved and denied test routes and examine propagated LSAs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

OSPF peers require compatible interface participation and topology. Inspect OSPF neighbor state and matching hello exchanges directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

DR election considers priority before router-ID tiebreaking. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Neighbor timer compatibility matters for OSPF adjacency formation. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Unfiltered redistribution can advertise unintended internal routes. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 190

After completing the planned work for this situation—a campus needs accounting of connection start and stop times—how should success be checked?

Measure call behavior across a scheduled reauthentication cycle.
Capture EAPOL-Request and absence/presence of EAPOL-Response.
Review start, interim and stop accounting messages for a session.
Authenticate a known-good certificate and inspect role attributes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Accounting records session events rather than selecting the identity. Review start, interim and stop accounting messages for a session directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Unnecessarily aggressive reauthentication can disrupt real-time sessions. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

EAPOL exchange requires the endpoint to participate in authentication. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

EAP-TLS validates certificate identity and central policy chooses the access role. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.
