HP HPE7-A01 Practice Test 22

Question 210

A technician has applied this fix: Ensure RF coverage overlaps with an appropriate neighbor cell plan. Which observation would provide the strongest acceptance evidence?

Reboot a test conductor and observe conductor election and management access.
Map failure domains and test representative single-component outages.
Test the keepalive source/peer connectivity and show VSX status.
Disable one AP and measure surviving signal and reassociation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Redundant coverage is a radio design concern, not only switch redundancy. Disable one AP and measure surviving signal and reassociation directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Stack control-plane failover is distinct from individual data-link forwarding. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Device redundancy is ineffective when both paths depend on one shared failed component. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

VSX keepalive is a separate liveness mechanism from the ISL. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 211

Following a campus change for this issue—a technician changes VLANs without a reliable audit trail—which result most directly verifies that the remedy works?

Compare sensor DNS/HTTP test results with an incident window.
Inspect denied command logs and agent rule execution.
Produce a test change and verify it appears in the audit history.
Verify NTP synchronization and correlate a known test event.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Logs and configuration diffs help identify who changed what and when. Produce a test change and verify it appears in the audit history directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Synthetic user-experience probes reveal service reachability and performance. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

NAE operations may be constrained by command authorization. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Cross-device troubleshooting depends on aligned timestamps and measurements. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 212

A network team reports the following condition: A switch uses a static management IP in the wrong subnet. Select the most appropriate response.

Align the interface address and prefix with the reachable management gateway.
Prestage device identity, inventory, group and required bootstrap network details.
Provide reachable, permitted NTP service and correct time-zone display.
Check stack link topology and supported redundant member cabling.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Incorrect address/prefix selection prevents ordinary management routing. The engineer should align the interface address and prefix with the reachable management gateway.

Incorrect Answers

Preprovisioning moves repeatable configuration into central management. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Accurate time is needed for logging and certificate validation. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

A resilient stack topology avoids relying on one physical intermember path. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 213

A technician has applied this fix: Use a suitable policy-based routing rule rather than changing all global routes. Which observation would provide the strongest acceptance evidence?

Trace the route lookup for failing and healthy subnets.
Trace multicast routes and receiver memberships.
Inspect OSPF neighbor state and matching hello exchanges.
Trace a matching and nonmatching flow and compare egress.

Explanation

Correct Answer

PBR can select forwarding based on match criteria beyond destination route. Trace a matching and nonmatching flow and compare egress directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A less-specific summary can mask an absent needed route. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Multicast forwarding requires a forwarding tree and interested receivers. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

OSPF peers require compatible interface participation and topology. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 214

A switch's default administrative password is shared among technicians. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Use named accounts and RBAC with centralized authentication where appropriate.
Enable WPA3/PMF on compatible SSIDs.
Apply a bounded critical-access policy rather than default full access.
Require consistent trunk/access settings and disable unnecessary trunks.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Individual accounts enable accountability and least-privilege authorization. The engineer should use named accounts and RBAC with centralized authentication where appropriate.

Incorrect Answers

Protected management frames prevent unauthenticated robust management manipulation. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Authentication outages need controlled failover permissions. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Incorrect allowed/native VLAN settings weaken L2 segmentation. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 215

A switch should block unknown endpoint VLAN hopping. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Preserve security audit logs while tuning alerting separately.
Renew the certificate and restore supported client trust.
Deploy enterprise 802.1X and suitable RADIUS policy.
Require consistent trunk/access settings and disable unnecessary trunks.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Incorrect allowed/native VLAN settings weaken L2 segmentation. The engineer should require consistent trunk/access settings and disable unnecessary trunks.

Incorrect Answers

Audit evidence is necessary even when alert thresholds create noise. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

EAP validation rejects expired or untrusted authentication servers. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Central identity policy allows per-user accountability and revocation. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 216

A network team reports the following condition: An attacker sends forged ARP replies on a user VLAN. Select the most appropriate response.

Apply appropriate DHCPv6 guard/inspection on the switching edge.
Use LLDP neighbor and port descriptions instead of guessing cabling.
Enable supported dynamic ARP inspection using valid bindings.
Validate primary/secondary VLAN associations and port roles where supported.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Dynamic ARP inspection can reject ARP packets inconsistent with trusted bindings. The engineer should enable supported dynamic ARP inspection using valid bindings.

Incorrect Answers

DHCPv6 protection prevents unapproved address services from client ports. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

LLDP advertises directly connected device identity and capabilities. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Private VLAN constructs isolate hosts within a shared IP subnet. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 217

During campus implementation, a branch switch intermittently drops management connections at DHCP renewal. What should the engineer configure or correct?

Investigate lease, gateway and address conflict information.
Confirm the AP VLAN reaches a DHCP server or relay.
Add the needed VLAN to the allowed trunk list on the relevant links.
Check stack link topology and supported redundant member cabling.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Duplicate management addresses or unstable DHCP assignments break control-plane reachability. The engineer should investigate lease, gateway and address conflict information.

Incorrect Answers

Power-up and Layer 2 association alone do not ensure IP address assignment. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Trunk VLAN filtering can silently drop an otherwise correctly tagged subnet. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

A resilient stack topology avoids relying on one physical intermember path. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 218

Only one VLAN cannot traverse an otherwise working trunk. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Check MTU, network type and adjacency negotiation.
Investigate co-channel airtime contention.
Check VLAN admission, native/tagged expectation and VLAN existence.
Find the exact matching ACE and its direction before broad changes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A trunk can pass some VLANs while filtering another. The engineer should check VLAN admission, native/tagged expectation and VLAN existence.

Incorrect Answers

OSPF DBD exchange can be impeded by incompatible link parameters. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Competing transmitters on the same channel can drive delay and retries. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

ACL ordering and attachment point determine real packet authorization. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 219

During campus implementation, rogue DHCP offers come from an untrusted access port. What should the engineer configure or correct?

Enable DHCP snooping with uplinks designated as trusted.
Use a supported RA Guard policy on untrusted access ports.
Correct the 802.1Q tagging and native VLAN expectation.
Ensure a reachable IGMP querier exists in that VLAN.

Explanation

Correct Answer

DHCP snooping blocks unauthorized server replies on untrusted ports. The engineer should enable DHCP snooping with uplinks designated as trusted.

Incorrect Answers

RA Guard filters unauthorized IPv6 router announcements. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

VLAN classification on ingress determines Layer 2 forwarding and segmentation. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

IGMP group maintenance requires periodic membership queries. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 220

A campus fabric uses iBGP but cannot fully mesh every internal node. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Deploy suitable route reflectors and client relationships.
Use a suitable policy-based routing rule rather than changing all global routes.
Verify peer capabilities and bounded stale-route timers.
Apply outbound prefix filtering and verify route policy direction.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Route reflection reduces the iBGP full-mesh requirement. The engineer should deploy suitable route reflectors and client relationships.

Incorrect Answers

PBR can select forwarding based on match criteria beyond destination route. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Graceful restart may preserve forwarding while control-plane updates recover. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Outbound routing policies control which local routes are advertised. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.
