HP HPE7-A01 Practice Test 35

Question 340

During campus implementation, a VSX pair shows loss of peer synchronization after maintenance. What should the engineer configure or correct?

Use the supported RSTP/MSTP mode and verify topology roles.
Configure consistent active-gateway IP and virtual MAC on both peers.
Check the inter-switch link connectivity and VSX state.
Adjust VRRP election priority on an unrelated routed gateway.

Explanation

Correct Answer

The VSX inter-switch link carries peer coordination and state traffic. The engineer should check the inter-switch link connectivity and VSX state.

Incorrect Answers

Rapid spanning tree speeds appropriate topology changes compared with legacy STP. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

VSX active gateway provides a shared first-hop identity on appropriate SVIs. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

VRRP election policy applies to a virtual router, not the VSX inter-switch link carrying peer synchronization.

Question 341

Following a campus change for this issue—a Wi-Fi 6 AP needs to serve many short-uplink IoT exchanges—which result most directly verifies that the remedy works?

Compare BSS color assignments and airtime/retry behavior across cells.
Compare client band capability and discovery captures.
Observe client capability and uplink channel utilization during small-packet traffic.
Try client-to-client traffic while preserving DNS/internet access.

Explanation

Correct Answer

OFDMA divides airtime into resource units for efficient multi-user scheduling. Observe client capability and uplink channel utilization during small-packet traffic directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

BSS coloring can help distinguish overlapping transmissions under supported spatial reuse. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

6 GHz discovery requires compatible client radio and security support. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Guest devices should not gain unnecessary direct peer reachability. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 342

A technician has applied this fix: Apply route policy to the correct BGP neighbor and direction. Which observation would provide the strongest acceptance evidence?

Trace a matching and nonmatching flow and compare egress.
Inspect IPv6 route table and NDP resolution for next hop.
Compare route, FIB and session egress for new versus old traffic.
Check inbound versus advertised route attributes after attachment.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Import and export policy have different control-plane effects. Check inbound versus advertised route attributes after attachment directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

PBR can select forwarding based on match criteria beyond destination route. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Link-local reachability does not guarantee routed IPv6 connectivity. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Control-plane route updates and existing session datapaths can differ. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 343

During campus implementation, rADIUS explicitly rejects a known malicious user. What should the engineer configure or correct?

Assign a reject/deny role rather than treating reject as timeout.
Ensure endpoint profiling/group mapping is applied consistently.
Enable supported RADIUS accounting independently of authentication.
Map ClearPass enforcement policy output to a device-supported role.

Explanation

Correct Answer

An explicit Access-Reject differs from a server communication failure. The engineer should assign a reject/deny role rather than treating reject as timeout.

Incorrect Answers

Device category and enforcement mapping must follow endpoint identity across locations. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Accounting records session events rather than selecting the identity. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Identity validation must be followed by explicit authorization attributes. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 344

Following a campus change for this issue—a downstream switch uses links to two VSX peers but sees two independent LAGs—which result most directly verifies that the remedy works?

Remove primary reachability and confirm route replacement.
Capture VRRP advertisements and compare current master state.
Remove one test stack link and verify the remaining members stay in the stack.
Observe one logical LACP neighbor bundle spanning both paths.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Multichassis aggregation depends on coordinated LAG identity at the peer pair. Observe one logical LACP neighbor bundle spanning both paths directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Redundancy requires more than an unused physical interface. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Virtual-router election depends on priority and exchanged advertisements. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Redundant stacking paths can preserve member connectivity after one link fails. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 345

For an HPE Aruba Networking campus deployment, a user-facing port should transition quickly without creating an upstream loop. Which action best addresses it?

Enable an appropriate STP edge-port setting with protection.
Set intentional root priorities and protect upstream ports.
Apply appropriate DHCPv6 guard/inspection on the switching edge.
Configure storm-control thresholds and loop prevention as appropriate.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Edge semantics reduce startup delay but should not blindly trust bridge devices. The engineer should enable an appropriate STP edge-port setting with protection.

Incorrect Answers

Spanning-tree root selection must reflect the planned campus topology. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

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

Storm control limits excess broadcast or multicast traffic while loops are fixed. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 346

For an HPE Aruba Networking campus deployment, a central wireless policy tries to steer an individual client using 802.11v. Which action best addresses it?

Tune effective radiated power and separation using site survey measurements.
Perform a time-correlated non-Wi-Fi interference survey.
Check role transition, DNS, gateway and redirect policies.
Use supported BSS transition management with a suitable candidate list.

Explanation

Correct Answer

802.11v can suggest a better BSS, but the client decides whether to comply. The engineer should use supported BSS transition management with a suitable candidate list.

Incorrect Answers

Cell overlap depends on EIRP, antenna pattern and building attenuation. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

An intermittent interferer can explain periodic retries without any configuration change. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Portal authentication must result in a usable authorized forwarding role. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 347

An engineer is planning corrective work because a campus location wants to enforce safe default-deny between two server roles. Which step should be prioritized?

Enable DAI or equivalent protection with trustworthy bindings.
Apply an explicit allowlist policy and deny all other flows.
Reclassify or remark untrusted ingress traffic at the boundary.
Apply a bounded critical-access policy rather than default full access.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Least privilege limits permitted applications to approved business needs. The engineer should apply an explicit allowlist policy and deny all other flows.

Incorrect Answers

Dynamic ARP inspection validates address/MAC claims on untrusted ports. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Untrusted clients can self-mark traffic to obtain an undeserved priority. 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.

Question 348

A network team reports the following condition: A policy should stop access from a device that repeatedly fails posture. Select the most appropriate response.

Apply a role-based ACL or firewall policy denying restricted destinations.
Enable 802.1X with authorized RADIUS and an appropriate fallback policy.
Reclassify or remark untrusted ingress traffic at the boundary.
Apply quarantine/deny role based on verified endpoint status.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Enforcement should follow authenticated context rather than an unverified MAC alone. The engineer should apply quarantine/deny role based on verified endpoint status.

Incorrect Answers

VLAN placement by itself may not enforce the intended least privilege. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Port access control restricts network membership to authenticated endpoints. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Untrusted clients can self-mark traffic to obtain an undeserved priority. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 349

During campus implementation, a WLAN must retain clients when one AP loses power. What should the engineer configure or correct?

Avoid a single common aggregation point in the physical topology.
Ensure RF coverage overlaps with an appropriate neighbor cell plan.
Restore the peer keepalive path without assuming the ISL itself failed.
Verify supported conductor/standby election and management continuity.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Redundant coverage is a radio design concern, not only switch redundancy. The engineer should ensure RF coverage overlaps with an appropriate neighbor cell plan.

Incorrect Answers

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

VSX keepalive is a separate liveness mechanism from the ISL. 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 350

A technician has applied this fix: Check the platform's sFlow/port-mirror compatibility requirements. Which observation would provide the strongest acceptance evidence?

Attempt a supported lab configuration and review feature conflict status.
Trigger a controlled counter change on the newly included port.
Compare identical request using allowed and restricted test roles.
Compare event volume and real fault visibility after tuning.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Some platform/release combinations limit simultaneous capture features. Attempt a supported lab configuration and review feature conflict status directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

An analytics agent evaluates the configured monitored objects, not every port automatically. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

HTTP 403 typically indicates a privilege or access-policy denial. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Alert policy can be refined without losing underlying monitoring data. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.
