HP HPE7-A01 Practice Test 49

Question 480

The engineer reports completing this change: Verify DFS channel move and new channel availability. Which verification should be included in the handover?

Correlate radar event logs with AP channel changes and reconnect times.
Measure time to discover the WLAN with and without supported discovery assistance.
Trace the client role, VLAN, gateway and policy path.
Attempt an authorized negative test and verify PMF negotiation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

DFS regulations require compliant devices to vacate channels after radar detection. Correlate radar event logs with AP channel changes and reconnect times directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

6 GHz discovery procedures differ from legacy 2.4/5 GHz behavior. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Management connectivity does not automatically grant data-plane reachability. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

PMF protects specific robust management frames from unauthenticated spoofing. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 481

An engineer is planning corrective work because a library user sees a captive portal but cannot load the post-login page. Which step should be prioritized?

Verify DFS channel move and new channel availability.
Adjust AP placement and validated transmit-power design after a survey.
Prefer appropriately designed 5 GHz service where clients support it.
Check role transition, DNS, gateway and redirect policies.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Portal authentication must result in a usable authorized forwarding role. The engineer should check role transition, DNS, gateway and redirect policies.

Incorrect Answers

DFS regulations require compliant devices to vacate channels after radar detection. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Usable wireless coverage depends on geometry, attenuation and client receive sensitivity. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

The 5 GHz band offers more usable channel choices and often less 2.4 GHz interference. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 482

The campus team is closing a service ticket about this condition: Two redundant distribution switches map VLANs to different MSTP instance IDs. Which validation step is most relevant?

Capture LLDP-MED advertisements and check phone VLAN state.
Compare MSTP digest and instance-to-VLAN tables on both switches.
Correlate MAC move events with port counters and topology.
Compare forged and valid ARP replies and their inspection counters.

Explanation

Correct Answer

MSTP region agreement is required for consistent internal topology calculation. Compare MSTP digest and instance-to-VLAN tables on both switches 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.

Rapid MAC moves may indicate a loop, duplicated host or roaming bridge. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Dynamic ARP inspection can reject ARP packets inconsistent with trusted bindings. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 483

A wireless AP reaches a controller but client traffic cannot reach a server. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Use a compatible band-steering mode with necessary 2.4 GHz fallback.
Evaluate supported 802.11r fast-transition configuration and client compatibility.
Distinguish the AP control path from client forwarding and VLAN policy.
Use spectrum analysis to identify non-Wi-Fi interferers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Management connectivity does not automatically grant data-plane reachability. The engineer should distinguish the AP control path from client forwarding and VLAN policy.

Incorrect Answers

A forced 5 GHz policy can exclude clients that lack that band. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Fast transition can reduce reassociation authentication overhead. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Microwave, Bluetooth and industrial emitters can raise noise without being an 802.11 AP. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 484

After completing the planned work for this situation—bGP neighbors stay in Active even though ping works—how should success be checked?

Capture TCP SYN and BGP OPEN exchanges.
Inspect the request/response exchange during failure.
Inspect optic diagnostics and both ends' link state.
Correlate channel utilization and retry peaks.

Explanation

Correct Answer

IP reachability alone does not establish BGP session negotiation. Capture TCP SYN and BGP OPEN exchanges directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Packet capture distinguishes transport retransmissions, resets and filtering. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Layer 1 failure must be resolved before Layer 3 diagnosis. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Competing transmitters on the same channel can drive delay and retries. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 485

For an HPE Aruba Networking campus deployment, a campus loses only one routed subnet after a link change. Which action best addresses it?

Correct inconsistent static/default routes or route redistribution.
Filter or lower preference for the received default route.
Align interface hello/dead timers between peers.
Compare the exact prefix, mask and next-hop resolution on both ends.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A less-specific summary can mask an absent needed route. The engineer should compare the exact prefix, mask and next-hop resolution on both ends.

Incorrect Answers

Two mutually pointing next hops can form an L3 forwarding loop. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Route import policy can protect internal next-hop expectations. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Neighbor timer compatibility matters for OSPF adjacency formation. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 486

A client repeatedly receives EAP requests but never answers EAPOL. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Check supplicant status and 802.1X client configuration.
Correct certificate identity and RADIUS mapping policy.
Correct server identity/SAN to match client trust expectations.
Complete the authenticated role transition and captive-portal authorization.

Explanation

Correct Answer

EAPOL exchange requires the endpoint to participate in authentication. The engineer should check supplicant status and 802.1X client configuration.

Incorrect Answers

Authorization must map the authenticated certificate identity to the intended user/device. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Supplicants may reject a server even when its signing CA is trusted. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Portal success requires enforcement state to change before normal internet traffic. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 487

After completing the planned work for this situation—two access uplinks form an unintended Layer 2 loop—how should success be checked?

Fail one source safely and check device power alarm and forwarding.
Verify VSX peer health and downstream LAG member distribution.
Confirm the expected alternate port blocks and broadcast counts remain stable.
Check the FIB for multiple equal next hops and sample path use.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Loop prevention protects bridged domains from uncontrolled circulation. Confirm the expected alternate port blocks and broadcast counts remain stable directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Two supplies on one circuit do not protect against that circuit's failure. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

VSX coordinates two switches to provide multi-chassis LAG forwarding. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Equal-cost multipath distributes flows without a spanning-tree blocked uplink. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 488

During campus implementation, a guest SSID must comply with a no-decrypt privacy rule. What should the engineer configure or correct?

Tune effective radiated power and separation using site survey measurements.
Use scoped certificate-level controls without unauthorized TLS payload inspection.
Inspect channel airtime usage, co-channel interference and retry rates.
Prefer role-based policy where it reduces unnecessary SSID proliferation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Certificate visibility and full decryption have different privacy implications. The engineer should use scoped certificate-level controls without unauthorized TLS payload inspection.

Incorrect Answers

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

Strong signal alone does not guarantee available airtime. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Distinct policy does not always require a new beaconing SSID. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 489

A campus network has equal-cost routed uplinks to distribution. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Provide redundant reachable DHCP servers or relay destinations.
Restore the peer keepalive path without assuming the ISL itself failed.
Use an AP/switch design with supported wired failover and consistent VLAN policy.
Use supported ECMP next-hop installation for eligible routes.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Equal-cost multipath distributes flows without a spanning-tree blocked uplink. The engineer should use supported ECMP next-hop installation for eligible routes.

Incorrect Answers

DHCP address assignment should not depend on one failed server. 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.

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

Question 490

The engineer reports completing this change: Configure an appropriate routed SVI and necessary forwarding policy. Which verification should be included in the handover?

Compare per-member LACP state and active aggregate capacity.
Connect an unregistered test device and inspect the violation action.
Trace host default gateway resolution and routed forwarding between VLANs.
Inject a controlled BPDU and review protection event and port state.

Explanation

Correct Answer

VLAN creation alone provides Layer 2 membership, not inter-VLAN routing. Trace host default gateway resolution and routed forwarding between VLANs directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

All participating LAG members must negotiate compatible operation. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Port security restricts which endpoint MAC addresses can use the link. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

BPDU protection can isolate ports that violate the expected edge role. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.
