HP HPE7-A01 Practice Test 59

Question 580

A network team reports the following condition: Two VSX peers report keepalive loss while their ISL remains up. Select the most appropriate response.

Design a supported ring or alternate stack-link topology.
Restore the peer keepalive path without assuming the ISL itself failed.
Ensure spanning tree or loop protection blocks the redundant path.
Apply matching active-gateway settings on both supported SVIs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

VSX keepalive is a separate liveness mechanism from the ISL. The engineer should restore the peer keepalive path without assuming the ISL itself failed.

Incorrect Answers

Redundant stacking paths can preserve member connectivity after one link fails. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Loop prevention protects bridged domains from uncontrolled circulation. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Active-gateway settings must be consistent across VSX peers. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 581

A network uses private DNS zones to locate management services. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Validate DHCP addressing, DNS and the documented AP discovery path.
Budget total power draw before enabling all powered ports.
Configure reachable DNS resolvers with the required records.
Validate the management VRF default route and allowed outbound paths.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Control-plane enrollment can fail when hostnames cannot resolve correctly. The engineer should configure reachable DNS resolvers with the required records.

Incorrect Answers

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

A shared PoE power budget can limit the number of fully powered endpoints. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

A reachable local interface does not imply a usable route from the management VRF. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 582

Following a campus change for this issue—an OSPF stub area accidentally receives external LSAs—which result most directly verifies that the remedy works?

Compare advertised prefixes and connected reachability after aggregation.
Inspect area type and database LSA scope.
Send allowed and denied test prefixes and inspect Adj-RIB-In.
Check the forwarding table for multiple next hops.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Stub-area properties constrain external route advertisement. Inspect area type and database LSA scope directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Summarization reduces route entries and update churn where topology permits. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Inbound filtering controls which neighbor routes are accepted. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Equal-cost eligible next hops can be installed for load distribution. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 583

RADIUS requests fail during a temporary WAN outage. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Check supplicant status and 802.1X client configuration.
Separate EAP authentication success from policy-enforcement rejection.
Distinguish server timeout from Access-Reject during troubleshooting.
Set a narrowly scoped critical/backup authorization role.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A RADIUS outage should not imply blanket production access. The engineer should set a narrowly scoped critical/backup authorization role.

Incorrect Answers

EAPOL exchange requires the endpoint to participate in authentication. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

A successful identity check does not automatically grant every role. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Server reachability and credential validation produce different failure evidence. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 584

The campus team is closing a service ticket about this condition: A new NAE script monitors only one interface while faults occur on another. Which validation step is most relevant?

Produce a test change and verify it appears in the audit history.
Compare device health alerts with interface counters on a selected switch.
Trigger a controlled counter change on the newly included port.
Capture mirrored packets and validate the intended source/direction.

Explanation

Correct Answer

An analytics agent evaluates the configured monitored objects, not every port automatically. Trigger a controlled counter change on the newly included port directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Logs and configuration diffs help identify who changed what and when. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Central management correlates device-level state across groups/sites. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Mirroring copies selected interface traffic for protocol analysis. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 585

The campus team is closing a service ticket about this condition: A RADIUS timeout is incorrectly treated as an invalid password. Which validation step is most relevant?

Attempt an allowed and restricted CLI operation for a test admin.
Inspect server logs for authenticator failures and retest.
Review RADIUS packet outcome and switch auth-session reason.
Capture pre/post-login user role and policy hits.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Server reachability and credential validation produce different failure evidence. Review RADIUS packet outcome and switch auth-session reason directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Authentication identifies administrators; authorization controls permitted commands. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

RADIUS integrity checks depend on matching shared secrets. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Portal success requires enforcement state to change before normal internet traffic. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 586

The campus team is closing a service ticket about this condition: A network team needs to check user experience at remote sites without on-site staff. Which validation step is most relevant?

Verify site dashboards and group policy remain correctly scoped.
Compare sampled flow exports with port utilization counters.
Trigger a controlled counter change on the newly included port.
Compare sensor DNS/HTTP test results with an incident window.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Synthetic user-experience probes reveal service reachability and performance. Compare sensor DNS/HTTP test results with an incident window directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Groups primarily determine configuration; sites support physical/location reporting. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

sFlow samples packets and interface counters for flow visibility. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

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

Question 587

During campus implementation, an old printer lacks an 802.1X supplicant but must use limited services. What should the engineer configure or correct?

Complete the authenticated role transition and captive-portal authorization.
Use MAC-based authentication with a restricted printer role.
Assign a reject/deny role rather than treating reject as timeout.
Configure supported voice/data or multi-domain port authentication.

Explanation

Correct Answer

MAB can accommodate legacy devices but offers weaker identity assurance. The engineer should use MAC-based authentication with a restricted printer role.

Incorrect Answers

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

An explicit Access-Reject differs from a server communication failure. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Phone and data station may require separate access identities and roles. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 588

After completing the planned work for this situation—a configuration automation script receives HTTP 403 from a switch—how should success be checked?

Compare synthetic latency, packet loss and client radio metrics.
Compare identical request using allowed and restricted test roles.
Produce a test change and verify it appears in the audit history.
Compare device health alerts with interface counters on a selected switch.

Explanation

Correct Answer

HTTP 403 typically indicates a privilege or access-policy denial. Compare identical request using allowed and restricted test roles directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Good RSSI does not prove application-path quality. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Logs and configuration diffs help identify who changed what and when. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Central management correlates device-level state across groups/sites. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 589

The engineer reports completing this change: Trust only approved voice marking and map traffic to suitable egress queues. Which verification should be included in the handover?

Compare per-port drawn/allocated power with remaining switch capacity.
Inspect the LACP partner system IDs and selected member states.
Send management-sourced ping through the intended management VRF.
Generate mixed voice/data loads and inspect queue-specific drops.

Explanation

Correct Answer

QoS classification and queue maps control congestion behavior. Generate mixed voice/data loads and inspect queue-specific drops directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Power budget decisions determine which powered endpoints receive sufficient wattage. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Plain LACP assumes one logical partner; independent switches cannot be arbitrarily combined. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Dedicated management routing avoids mixing administration with production forwarding. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 590

For an HPE Aruba Networking campus deployment, a management interface currently allows Telnet from all campus segments. Which action best addresses it?

Use named accounts and RBAC with centralized authentication where appropriate.
Separate guest access with appropriate portal/role policy.
Apply an explicit allowlist policy and deny all other flows.
Replace plaintext admin access with SSH/HTTPS and scoped management ACLs.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Secure administration requires both encryption and source restriction. The engineer should replace plaintext admin access with SSH/HTTPS and scoped management ACLs.

Incorrect Answers

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

Guest credentials should not bypass corporate identity policy. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Least privilege limits permitted applications to approved business needs. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.
