HP HPE7-A01 Practice Test 47

Question 460

The engineer reports completing this change: Ensure area border routing is planned and configured correctly. Which verification should be included in the handover?

Advertise a client route and verify another client learns it.
Check intra-area and inter-area routes on each side.
Inject approved and denied test routes and examine propagated LSAs.
Verify the expected NSSA route and translated advertisement.

Explanation

Correct Answer

An ABR connects area 0 with additional OSPF areas. Check intra-area and inter-area routes on each side directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Route reflection reduces the iBGP full-mesh requirement. 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.

NSSA permits controlled local external redistribution in a stub-like area. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 461

For an HPE Aruba Networking campus deployment, a branch onboarding task should minimize on-site manual changes. Which action best addresses it?

Prestage device identity, inventory, group and required bootstrap network details.
Verify the intended gateway virtualization design and L2 loop condition.
Validate DHCP addressing, DNS and the documented AP discovery path.
Configure at least one endpoint to initiate LACP actively.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Preprovisioning moves repeatable configuration into central management. The engineer should prestage device identity, inventory, group and required bootstrap network details.

Incorrect Answers

Unplanned gateway MAC movement can reflect duplicated gateway identity or loops. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

AP onboarding depends on working network bootstrap and a reachable management service. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Passive LACP endpoints do not initiate the exchange needed to negotiate a bundle. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 462

After completing the planned work for this situation—voice roaming delay is too high between nearby APs—how should success be checked?

Repeat the same test plan and compare normalized metrics.
Run multiple varied flows and inspect member counters.
Measure noise floor during machinery operation and after mitigation.
Measure BSS transition and user-packet interruption times.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Roaming performance depends on scan, authentication and mobility handling. Measure BSS transition and user-packet interruption times directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Optimization requires a measured baseline to distinguish improvement from noise. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

LAG hashing keeps a flow on one member and does not split one flow packet by packet. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

SNR combines received signal strength with background noise. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 463

During campus implementation, a switch administrator disables logging while investigating suspicious access attempts. What should the engineer configure or correct?

Apply STP root or BPDU protection on appropriate edge ports.
Use named accounts and RBAC with centralized authentication where appropriate.
Enforce supported port-security violation behavior.
Preserve security audit logs while tuning alerting separately.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Audit evidence is necessary even when alert thresholds create noise. The engineer should preserve security audit logs while tuning alerting separately.

Incorrect Answers

STP protections constrain unauthorized topology control. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Individual accounts enable accountability and least-privilege authorization. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Port security prevents arbitrary new MAC addresses from gaining access. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 464

Following a campus change for this issue—a campus network has equal-cost routed uplinks to distribution—which result most directly verifies that the remedy works?

Disable one uplink and observe AP management and client continuity.
Check the FIB for multiple equal next hops and sample path use.
Test the keepalive source/peer connectivity and show VSX status.
Exercise DHCP renewal with the primary server disabled in a lab.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Equal-cost multipath distributes flows without a spanning-tree blocked uplink. Check the FIB for multiple equal next hops and sample path use directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Failover paths must preserve required management and client VLAN reachability. 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.

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

Question 465

An engineer is planning corrective work because users report websites fail by name but work by IP address. Which step should be prioritized?

Compare RF interference, client density and scheduled activities by time.
Check DNS resolver assignment and reachability.
Inspect MAC table learning and potential port-security blocking.
Correlate roam events, authentication timing and application jitter.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Name-resolution failure can resemble a general network outage. The engineer should check DNS resolver assignment and reachability.

Incorrect Answers

Time-correlated environmental changes can explain periodic performance drops. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Layer 2 forwarding depends on learned destination MAC and permitted ports. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Fast RF association and data-plane continuity are different measures. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 466

A printer must belong to exactly one untagged department VLAN. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Configure its access port in the appropriate VLAN.
Align the native VLAN treatment and tagging configuration.
Check SVI line state and operational VLAN membership.
Check the relevant root-guard role on that uplink.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Access ports place untagged endpoints in one broadcast domain. The engineer should configure its access port in the appropriate VLAN.

Incorrect Answers

Native VLAN mismatch can misclassify untagged traffic. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

An SVI may depend on its VLAN being operationally active. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Root guard prevents an unplanned switch from taking over the root position. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 467

A network team reports the following condition: One workstation fails 802.1X while others pass on the same switch. Select the most appropriate response.

Correlate logs, topology changes and historical telemetry around the failure time.
Check VLAN admission, native/tagged expectation and VLAN existence.
Diff the current state against the last known-good configuration.
Compare local supplicant identity, certificate and role policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Per-endpoint authentication problems are not necessarily switch-wide faults. The engineer should compare local supplicant identity, certificate and role policy.

Incorrect Answers

End-state snapshots may miss transient faults. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

A trunk can pass some VLANs while filtering another. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

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

Question 468

After completing the planned work for this situation—a long hallway AP causes clients to stay associated too far away—how should success be checked?

Capture BSS transition requests and the client response.
Monitor roam RSSI and handoff delay in the hallway.
Compare management-frame airtime and edge coverage after a cautious rate change.
Compare channel overlap and retry rates at several locations.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Excess cell reach and very low data rates can promote sticky clients. Monitor roam RSSI and handoff delay in the hallway directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

802.11v can suggest a better BSS, but the client decides whether to comply. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Very low basic rates consume disproportionate airtime. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

CCI shares airtime while ACI disrupts reception through overlapping energy. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 469

For an HPE Aruba Networking campus deployment, an employee port should deny ordinary data traffic until identity is checked. Which action best addresses it?

Verify Ethernet VLAN membership before troubleshooting a Layer 3 route.
Use 802.1Q VLAN tags to preserve the correct broadcast domains.
Inspect ARP request and reply exchange and local VLAN reachability.
Apply 802.1X port access control with a supported authentication server.

Explanation

Correct Answer

802.1X controls port authorization before granting authenticated network access. The engineer should apply 802.1X port access control with a supported authentication server.

Incorrect Answers

VLAN assignment determines the broadcast domain in which the DHCP exchange occurs. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

VLAN tags identify individual logical Layer 2 networks on a shared trunk. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

ARP resolves IPv4 neighbors to MAC addresses within the local broadcast domain. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 470

A network team reports the following condition: An uplink needs to limit one large backup application's bandwidth. Select the most appropriate response.

Check negotiated HE capability and scheduler/radio utilization.
Apply suitable shaping or policing based on desired behavior.
Consider supported airtime fairness and data-rate policy.
Inspect flow-hash distribution and per-member traffic.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Shaping buffers over-rate traffic while policing can drop or remark it. The engineer should apply suitable shaping or policing based on desired behavior.

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.

Equal byte throughput is not the same as equal shared radio airtime. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

LAG hashing keeps a flow on one member and does not split one flow packet by packet. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.
