HP HPE7-A01 Practice Test 21

Question 200

An access closet needs multiple tagged user VLANs but only one untagged management VLAN. Which THREE steps together deliver the change, verify its effect, and reduce rollout risk? Choose THREE.

  1. Configure the trunk native VLAN and allowed tagged VLAN list consistently at both ends
  2. Investigate a Layer 2 loop and restore a supported spanning-tree or LAG design
  3. Assess narrowing L2 domains or routing at distribution boundaries
  4. Document native VLAN policy and test management reachability after change
  5. Validate identical speed and native VLAN assumptions before putting the bundle into service
  6. Inspect switch trunk state and endpoint VLAN membership on each side

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Proper tagging preserves the intended separation across the uplink. Both tagged and untagged frames must reach their intended segment.

D:

Incorrect native tagging can remove remote switch access. Both tagged and untagged frames must reach their intended segment.

F:

Both tagged and untagged frames must reach their intended segment. Proper tagging preserves the intended separation across the uplink.

Incorrect Answers

B:

MAC movement can signal circulating frames across parallel physical links. By contrast, proper tagging preserves the intended separation across the uplink.

C:

Smaller broadcast scopes reduce unnecessary flooding across the campus. In this situation, proper tagging preserves the intended separation across the uplink.

E:

A LAG with mismatched port behavior can disrupt multiple VLANs. It would not resolve the documented symptom; incorrect native tagging can remove remote switch access.

Question 201

A school switch should protect against an accidental client-created DHCP server. What should the network engineer do to address this requirement?

  1. Map the supported interface identifiers to the intended patch-panel ports before applying configuration
  2. Inspect trunk allowed-VLAN lists and native/tagged state at both switches
  3. Correct the LLDP management address advertisement and intended management context
  4. Enable DHCP snooping with trusted uplinks and untrusted user access ports

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Snooping can reject unauthorized server offers on client-facing interfaces. The control must block the rogue source without breaking real DHCP.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A valid port label on one platform may refer to a different port on another. By contrast, snooping can reject unauthorized server offers on client-facing interfaces.

B:

Missing one VLAN on an otherwise healthy trunk isolates the problem to membership. The relevant technical distinction is that snooping can reject unauthorized server offers on client-facing interfaces.

C:

Neighbor inventory should reflect reachable approved management endpoints. It would not resolve the documented symptom; snooping can reject unauthorized server offers on client-facing interfaces.

Question 202

A school switch should protect against an accidental client-created DHCP server. What should the team inspect to confirm the result?

  1. Measure broadcast utilization and user performance before and after moving a pilot subnet
  2. Compare member interface state and MAC learning for affected versus working VLANs
  3. Check receiver joins, multicast routing state and per-VLAN forwarding
  4. Inspect snooping bindings and confirm test rogue offers are blocked while valid leases work

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The control must block the rogue source without breaking real DHCP. Snooping can reject unauthorized server offers on client-facing interfaces.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Improved L2 containment should produce measurable results. The relevant technical distinction is that the control must block the rogue source without breaking real DHCP.

B:

Focused comparison reveals the local forwarding defect. By contrast, the control must block the rogue source without breaking real DHCP.

C:

Membership alone does not prove end-to-end multicast delivery. Here, however, the control must block the rogue source without breaking real DHCP.

Question 203

A school switch should protect against an accidental client-created DHCP server. Which misconception is most likely to obstruct a correct fix?

  1. Mark every user edge port trusted to prevent DHCP failures
  2. Assume two independent switches can always masquerade as one ordinary LAG peer
  3. Assume matching spanning-tree priority alone proves identical MST regions
  4. Assume adding more IP routes will fix a MAC learning failure in the same VLAN

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Trusting user ports defeats the rogue-server protection. Snooping can reject unauthorized server offers on client-facing interfaces.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Without a supported MC-LAG design the partner identities may conflict. Here, however, trusting user ports defeats the rogue-server protection.

C:

Name, revision and VLAN mapping also affect region identity. In this situation, trusting user ports defeats the rogue-server protection.

D:

Layer 3 route changes cannot correct a basic Layer 2 forwarding table problem. The relevant technical distinction is that trusting user ports defeats the rogue-server protection.

Question 204

A school switch should protect against an accidental client-created DHCP server. What precaution is most important before the change is expanded?

  1. Document IPv6 control-plane trust ports and test dual-stack clients
  2. Run a representative endpoint connectivity test and preserve rollback of the port profile
  3. Perform a denied cross-VLAN test and peer-review future trunk changes
  4. Verify the DHCP relay and any authorized server uplinks before enabling globally

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Inaccurate trust boundaries can stop all address assignment. The control must block the rogue source without breaking real DHCP.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Protecting only IPv4 leaves a separate attack path. Here, however, inaccurate trust boundaries can stop all address assignment.

B:

One device can expose a mapping error before a whole row of ports moves. It would not resolve the documented symptom; inaccurate trust boundaries can stop all address assignment.

C:

Negative testing guards against accidental sensitive VLAN expansion. In this situation, inaccurate trust boundaries can stop all address assignment.

Question 205

An office campus wants to reduce ARP spoofing between devices on the same access VLAN. Which configuration decision most directly resolves the situation?

  1. Use validated DHCP snooping bindings with dynamic ARP inspection where supported
  2. Correct the LLDP management address advertisement and intended management context
  3. Inspect trunk allowed-VLAN lists and native/tagged state at both switches
  4. Restrict the trunk allowed-VLAN list and correct access-port membership

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A binding table can be used to reject forged address-to-MAC claims. The observed result distinguishes secure hosts from false positives.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Neighbor inventory should reflect reachable approved management endpoints. It would not resolve the documented symptom; a binding table can be used to reject forged address-to-MAC claims.

C:

Missing one VLAN on an otherwise healthy trunk isolates the problem to membership. By contrast, a binding table can be used to reject forged address-to-MAC claims.

D:

VLAN propagation should follow approved segmentation rather than every available tag. In this situation, a binding table can be used to reject forged address-to-MAC claims.

Question 206

An office campus wants to reduce ARP spoofing between devices on the same access VLAN. Which check most directly demonstrates the desired network behavior?

  1. Verify LLDP neighbors and configured roles on sample physical ports after deployment
  2. Inspect LACP actor and partner identifiers and active collector/distributor flags
  3. Inspect snooping bindings and confirm test rogue offers are blocked while valid leases work
  4. Send authorized and forged ARP tests while reviewing violation counters

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The observed result distinguishes secure hosts from false positives. A binding table can be used to reject forged address-to-MAC claims.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Live adjacency checks catch wrong interface mappings. By contrast, the observed result distinguishes secure hosts from false positives.

B:

Protocol details show why one member was excluded. The relevant technical distinction is that the observed result distinguishes secure hosts from false positives.

C:

The control must block the rogue source without breaking real DHCP. It would not resolve the documented symptom; the observed result distinguishes secure hosts from false positives.

Question 207

An office campus wants to reduce ARP spoofing between devices on the same access VLAN. Which assumption would be most misleading when investigating this situation?

  1. Assume a host's IP subnet membership proves each ARP reply is legitimate
  2. Enable edge behavior indiscriminately on every inter-switch trunk
  3. Raise every uplink speed without examining oversized broadcast-domain design
  4. Assume two independent switches can always masquerade as one ordinary LAG peer

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

ARP does not authenticate its sender by subnet alone. A binding table can be used to reject forged address-to-MAC claims.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Network-facing ports still require loop protection. By contrast, aRP does not authenticate its sender by subnet alone.

C:

More bandwidth alone does not correct excess flooding scope. Here, however, aRP does not authenticate its sender by subnet alone.

D:

Without a supported MC-LAG design the partner identities may conflict. The relevant technical distinction is that aRP does not authenticate its sender by subnet alone.

Question 208

An office campus wants to reduce ARP spoofing between devices on the same access VLAN. Which safeguard best reduces the deployment risk in this case?

  1. Limit multicast to intended receivers and test one source leaving the network
  2. Record the faulted patch-port and confirm the cable path meets distance requirements
  3. Provide static binding handling for approved non-DHCP hosts
  4. Document IPv6 control-plane trust ports and test dual-stack clients

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Static devices can otherwise be blocked by binding-based inspection. The observed result distinguishes secure hosts from false positives.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Uncontrolled multicast can consume shared uplink capacity. In this situation, static devices can otherwise be blocked by binding-based inspection.

B:

Recurring bad media should not be treated as a software mystery. Here, however, static devices can otherwise be blocked by binding-based inspection.

D:

Protecting only IPv4 leaves a separate attack path. The relevant technical distinction is that static devices can otherwise be blocked by binding-based inspection.

Question 209

A lab receives repeated IPv6 rogue router advertisements from a student machine. What is the most appropriate first technical change?

  1. Map the supported interface identifiers to the intended patch-panel ports before applying configuration
  2. Use validated DHCP snooping bindings with dynamic ARP inspection where supported
  3. Apply supported RA guard at untrusted Layer 2 access ports
  4. Configure a supported routed Layer 3 interface and explicit peering/subnet

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

RA guard can limit who is allowed to advertise IPv6 routers to clients. The guard must block the rogue source while allowing real gateway advertisements.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A valid port label on one platform may refer to a different port on another. Here, however, rA guard can limit who is allowed to advertise IPv6 routers to clients.

B:

A binding table can be used to reject forged address-to-MAC claims. In this situation, rA guard can limit who is allowed to advertise IPv6 routers to clients.

D:

A routed boundary avoids unnecessary L2 extension between administrative domains. It would not resolve the documented symptom; rA guard can limit who is allowed to advertise IPv6 routers to clients.

Question 210

A lab receives repeated IPv6 rogue router advertisements from a student machine. Which observation would best verify that the intended behavior is working?

  1. Test isolated-host communication versus access to the designated gateway/service port
  2. Compare member interface state and MAC learning for affected versus working VLANs
  3. Capture approved and unauthorized RA messages and inspect edge policy counters
  4. Verify LLDP neighbors and configured roles on sample physical ports after deployment

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The guard must block the rogue source while allowing real gateway advertisements. RA guard can limit who is allowed to advertise IPv6 routers to clients.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The test verifies that only approved local peers are reachable. In this situation, the guard must block the rogue source while allowing real gateway advertisements.

B:

Focused comparison reveals the local forwarding defect. By contrast, the guard must block the rogue source while allowing real gateway advertisements.

D:

Live adjacency checks catch wrong interface mappings. It would not resolve the documented symptom; the guard must block the rogue source while allowing real gateway advertisements.
