HP HPE7-A01 Practice Test 32

Question 310

During campus implementation, a VSX split could cause both core peers to forward incorrectly. What should the engineer configure or correct?

Keep healthy LAG members forwarding while removing the failed link.
Use an AP/switch design with supported wired failover and consistent VLAN policy.
Review ISL/keepalive health and split-brain protection design.
Verify supported conductor/standby election and management continuity.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Peer-state detection and the configured safeguards govern split failure response. The engineer should review ISL/keepalive health and split-brain protection design.

Incorrect Answers

LACP aggregation can survive individual member loss. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Failover paths must preserve required management and client VLAN reachability. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Stack control-plane failover is distinct from individual data-link forwarding. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 311

During campus implementation, a dense classroom runs too many SSIDs on one radio. What should the engineer configure or correct?

Classify and prioritize the voice traffic in the appropriate egress queues.
Consolidate SSIDs when authorization roles can differentiate users.
Reserve suitable queue priority and reduce oversubscription.
Set suitable minimum data rates after validating coverage.

Explanation

Correct Answer

More SSIDs increase beacon/management overhead. The engineer should consolidate SSIDs when authorization roles can differentiate users.

Incorrect Answers

QoS scheduling helps latency-sensitive packets compete under load. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Full link saturation exposes serialization and queuing delays. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Low PHY rates consume more airtime for each transmitted byte. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 312

For an HPE Aruba Networking campus deployment, a device has dual power supplies connected to the same power circuit. Which action best addresses it?

Configure the downstream bundle and upstream VSX LAG consistently.
Avoid a single common aggregation point in the physical topology.
Provide redundant reachable DHCP servers or relay destinations.
Feed redundant supplies from independent power sources.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Two supplies on one circuit do not protect against that circuit's failure. The engineer should feed redundant supplies from independent power sources.

Incorrect Answers

Multichassis aggregation depends on coordinated LAG identity at the peer pair. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Device redundancy is ineffective when both paths depend on one shared failed component. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

DHCP address assignment should not depend on one failed server. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 313

An engineer is planning corrective work because a switch shows frequent MAC address movement between two access ports. Which step should be prioritized?

Apply appropriate DHCPv6 guard/inspection on the switching edge.
Check cabling, transceiver compatibility and physical-layer faults.
Find the source of MAC flapping or a Layer 2 loop.
Enable DHCP snooping with uplinks designated as trusted.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Rapid MAC moves may indicate a loop, duplicated host or roaming bridge. The engineer should find the source of MAC flapping or a Layer 2 loop.

Incorrect Answers

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

Frame check errors usually indicate problems below the IP layer. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

DHCP snooping blocks unauthorized server replies on untrusted ports. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 314

For an HPE Aruba Networking campus deployment, an OSPF branch must learn a default route from the internet edge. Which action best addresses it?

Configure deliberate default origination with correct conditions.
Source BGP from loopback and ensure loopback route reachability.
Check source/peer reachability and transport before BGP attributes.
Configure supported ECMP behavior and equal metrics for eligible paths.

Explanation

Correct Answer

OSPF does not automatically inject a default solely because WAN exists. The engineer should configure deliberate default origination with correct conditions.

Incorrect Answers

Loopback sessions survive individual link changes when routed connectivity remains. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

BGP uses a TCP session and requires reachable configured neighbors. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Equal-cost eligible next hops can be installed for load distribution. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 315

The engineer reports completing this change: Differentiate same-channel contention from adjacent-channel interference. Which verification should be included in the handover?

Survey co-channel overlap and voice latency across the channel plan.
Confirm users receive differentiated roles on a shared WLAN.
Compare channel overlap and retry rates at several locations.
Compare pre-login and post-login client-role traffic captures.

Explanation

Correct Answer

CCI shares airtime while ACI disrupts reception through overlapping energy. Compare channel overlap and retry rates at several locations directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Wider channels can increase overlap and reduce available independent cells. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Distinct policy does not always require a new beaconing SSID. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Portal authentication must result in a usable authorized forwarding role. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 316

After completing the planned work for this situation—an IPv6 access segment receives a rogue router advertisement—how should success be checked?

Send a controlled unauthorized RA and verify it is not learned.
Capture LLDP-MED advertisements and check phone VLAN state.
Join and leave a test group and observe forwarding-port membership.
Generate mixed voice/data loads and inspect queue-specific drops.

Explanation

Correct Answer

RA Guard filters unauthorized IPv6 router announcements. Send a controlled unauthorized RA and verify it is not learned directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

LLDP-MED can communicate voice VLAN and QoS settings to phones. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

IGMP snooping limits eligible multicast delivery to interested ports. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

QoS classification and queue maps control congestion behavior. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 317

A network team reports the following condition: A switch management SVI responds locally but cannot reach Central across the WAN. Select the most appropriate response.

Make the AP uplink native/tagged VLAN expectation match the switch port.
Provide a supported voice VLAN and separate data-network authorization.
Align the interface address and prefix with the reachable management gateway.
Validate the management VRF default route and allowed outbound paths.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A reachable local interface does not imply a usable route from the management VRF. The engineer should validate the management VRF default route and allowed outbound paths.

Incorrect Answers

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

Voice and data traffic can share a port while retaining distinct VLAN and policy treatment. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Incorrect address/prefix selection prevents ordinary management routing. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 318

The campus team is closing a service ticket about this condition: A security design needs role-based policy rather than one VLAN per job title. Which validation step is most relevant?

Compare approved AP inventory with detected BSSID and security settings.
Verify RADIUS role assignment and allowed application traffic.
Verify PMF negotiated and controlled spoofed disconnect is rejected.
Verify SNMPv3 access while legacy community attempts fail.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Roles can express differentiated access independent of separate SSID proliferation. Verify RADIUS role assignment and allowed application traffic directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Wireless intrusion monitoring distinguishes trusted infrastructure from unknown transmitters. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Protected management frames prevent unauthenticated robust management manipulation. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

SNMPv3 can authenticate and encrypt management telemetry. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 319

Following a campus change for this issue—a network wants to use MAC authentication only when 802.1X is unavailable—which result most directly verifies that the remedy works?

Disconnect RADIUS and inspect critical-role policy.
Test both capable and non-802.1X endpoints and inspect selected method.
Trigger CoA and observe role transition and permitted applications.
Inspect policy hit and role applied on the switch.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Auth-method priority avoids bypassing strong identities prematurely. Test both capable and non-802.1X endpoints and inspect selected method directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A RADIUS outage should not imply blanket production access. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Change of Authorization can update session policy without a full reboot. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Identity validation must be followed by explicit authorization attributes. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 320

A network team reports the following condition: A PoE access switch has 48 AP/phone endpoints and insufficient capacity. Select the most appropriate response.

Check device inventory, subscription assignment and outbound management reachability.
Budget total power draw before enabling all powered ports.
Align the LACP actor/partner mode and member compatibility.
Provide a supported voice VLAN and separate data-network authorization.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A shared PoE power budget can limit the number of fully powered endpoints. The engineer should budget total power draw before enabling all powered ports.

Incorrect Answers

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

A LAG requires compatible peer negotiation and member parameters. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Voice and data traffic can share a port while retaining distinct VLAN and policy treatment. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.
