HP HPE7-A01 Practice Test 6

Question 50

OSPF neighbors use unequal hello and dead intervals. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Integrate supported BFD on the relevant routed interfaces.
Align interface hello/dead timers between peers.
Apply the intended stub-area design consistently on peers.
Tune supported interface costs consistently with the topology.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Neighbor timer compatibility matters for OSPF adjacency formation. The engineer should align interface hello/dead timers between peers.

Incorrect Answers

BFD can drive rapid protocol fault detection independent of standard hello timers. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Stub-area properties constrain external route advertisement. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

OSPF SPF uses accumulated interface metrics for path selection. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 51

An engineer is planning corrective work because a LAG has two passive LACP endpoints and never forms. Which step should be prioritized?

Assign them to the appropriate Central group or template scope.
Investigate lease, gateway and address conflict information.
Provide a supported voice VLAN and separate data-network authorization.
Configure at least one endpoint to initiate LACP actively.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Passive LACP endpoints do not initiate the exchange needed to negotiate a bundle. The engineer should configure at least one endpoint to initiate LACP actively.

Incorrect Answers

A management group determines the policy and configuration applied to its devices. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Duplicate management addresses or unstable DHCP assignments break control-plane reachability. 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.

Question 52

The campus team is closing a service ticket about this condition: An SSID is configured but not broadcast by the intended building APs. Which validation step is most relevant?

Compare authentication exchange duration during controlled roaming.
Capture beacon/SSID advertisement at the affected AP and compare group policy.
Capture DHCP packets after the successful association event.
Inspect EAP exchange and the certificate rejection reason.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Defining an SSID centrally does not prove each AP advertises it. Capture beacon/SSID advertisement at the affected AP and compare group policy directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Fast transition can reduce reassociation authentication overhead. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Successful association does not guarantee an IPv4 address. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Enterprise Wi-Fi authentication depends on valid identity and trusted RADIUS certificates. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 53

During campus implementation, a new group should get a restricted access role after valid authentication. What should the engineer configure or correct?

Repair RADIUS server address, VRF route or server group configuration.
Map ClearPass enforcement policy output to a device-supported role.
Separate EAP authentication success from policy-enforcement rejection.
Tune supported reauthentication interval and session continuity policy.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Identity validation must be followed by explicit authorization attributes. The engineer should map ClearPass enforcement policy output to a device-supported role.

Incorrect Answers

EAPOL client traffic still needs the authenticator to reach RADIUS. 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.

Unnecessarily aggressive reauthentication can disrupt real-time sessions. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 54

A technician has applied this fix: Prefer role-based policy where it reduces unnecessary SSID proliferation. Which observation would provide the strongest acceptance evidence?

Measure client RSSI/SNR and throughput at the coverage edge.
Confirm users receive differentiated roles on a shared WLAN.
Measure concurrent client distribution and busy time per radio.
Inspect association capabilities and observe multi-user operation counters.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Distinct policy does not always require a new beaconing SSID. Confirm users receive differentiated roles on a shared WLAN directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Usable wireless coverage depends on geometry, attenuation and client receive sensitivity. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Capacity is constrained by shared airtime, not simply signal strength. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

MU-MIMO performance depends on device capabilities and RF conditions. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 55

An AP's automatic power setting leaves sticky clients. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Measure end-to-end bottleneck, TCP window and path loss rather than only switch port speed.
Reduce channel width when reuse and contention require it.
Calibrate cell-edge target and neighboring AP power.
Inspect the client transmit power and return-path quality.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Excess power can delay client roaming despite good RSSI. The engineer should calibrate cell-edge target and neighboring AP power.

Incorrect Answers

Wide-area throughput is constrained by latency, loss and congestion. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Wide channels can reduce the number of independent neighboring cells. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

AP downlink power may exceed handheld uplink capability. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 56

A network engineer cannot correlate interface drops across devices. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Use synchronized time, logs and interface telemetry.
Verify API user role and endpoint authorization.
Adjust the monitored resource and alert conditions.
Install a suitable NAE script and configure an agent.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Cross-device troubleshooting depends on aligned timestamps and measurements. The engineer should use synchronized time, logs and interface telemetry.

Incorrect Answers

HTTP 403 typically indicates a privilege or access-policy denial. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

An analytics agent evaluates the configured monitored objects, not every port automatically. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Network Analytics Engine agents can monitor specified switch conditions. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 57

A network team reports the following condition: A network team needs to check user experience at remote sites without on-site staff. Select the most appropriate response.

Use supported sFlow telemetry instead of full packet mirroring.
Correct site assignments without assuming the configuration group is a site.
Adjust the monitored resource and alert conditions.
Deploy UXI sensors with appropriate internal/external tests.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Synthetic user-experience probes reveal service reachability and performance. The engineer should deploy UXI sensors with appropriate internal/external tests.

Incorrect Answers

sFlow samples packets and interface counters for flow visibility. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Groups primarily determine configuration; sites support physical/location reporting. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

An analytics agent evaluates the configured monitored objects, not every port automatically. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 58

Two uplink members in a LAG are connected to unrelated switches with no multichassis design. Which change most directly meets this campus requirement?

Enable the supported BPDU protection feature on the edge.
Configure its access port in the appropriate VLAN.
Add the voice VLAN to the allowed trunk members.
Use a proper VSX/MCLAG peer pair or terminate each uplink separately.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Plain LACP assumes one logical partner; independent switches cannot be arbitrarily combined. The engineer should use a proper VSX/MCLAG peer pair or terminate each uplink separately.

Incorrect Answers

BPDU protection can isolate ports that violate the expected edge role. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Access ports place untagged endpoints in one broadcast domain. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

VLAN admission must exist on every necessary trunk in the path. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Question 59

The engineer reports completing this change: Scope IGMP snooping and VLAN trunk membership correctly. Which verification should be included in the handover?

Compare trunk operational state and capture an untagged test frame.
Compare group tables and egress multicast counters by VLAN.
Correlate event log timestamp with port status and offending traffic.
Verify edge state and response when a BPDU is received.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Multicast membership and Layer 2 membership are both VLAN-specific. Compare group tables and egress multicast counters by VLAN directly tests the desired behavior.

Incorrect Answers

Native VLAN mismatch can misclassify untagged traffic. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

An automatic protection feature may be intentionally shutting the port. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Edge semantics reduce startup delay but should not blindly trust bridge devices. That observation tests a different condition, not the required result.

Question 60

During campus implementation, one upstream default route fails but a secondary next hop should take over. What should the engineer configure or correct?

Establish an eligible backup route and failure detection method.
Ensure RF coverage overlaps with an appropriate neighbor cell plan.
Feed redundant supplies from independent power sources.
Configure consistent active-gateway IP and virtual MAC on both peers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Redundancy requires more than an unused physical interface. The engineer should establish an eligible backup route and failure detection method.

Incorrect Answers

Redundant coverage is a radio design concern, not only switch redundancy. It is not a direct remedy for the condition described.

Two supplies on one circuit do not protect against that circuit's failure. 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.
