HP HPE7-A08 Practice Test 16

Question 150

RADIUS and DNS are centralized with no branch cache; a WAN cut could prevent new logons. Which planning artifact exposes this?

  1. Documented WAN failure dependence
  2. Routing protocol boundary design
  3. Service dependency map
  4. Redundant critical-site interconnects

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Service dependency mapping reveals identity and name-service reliance. Map DHCP, DNS, AAA and management dependencies to site failover behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Identify which applications or services require remote connectivity and their alternate paths. But this does not address the case requirement to predict management and client impact of WAN failure.

B:

Clearly define where internal and WAN routing exchange prefixes and how to filter them. But this does not address the case requirement to predict management and client impact of WAN failure.

D:

Diverse paths and upstream termination reduce a single WAN or transport failure risk. But this does not address the case requirement to predict management and client impact of WAN failure.

Question 151

A remote warehouse uses HQ as default gateway despite needing local warehouse-to-warehouse traffic. What placement could reduce dependence?

  1. Routing protocol boundary design
  2. Consistent site segmentation design
  3. Documented WAN failure dependence
  4. Site-local default gateway

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Site-local routing is appropriate for permitted local services. Local routing can keep permitted intra-site traffic available if remote WAN links fail.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Clearly define where internal and WAN routing exchange prefixes and how to filter them. But this does not address the case requirement to keep local subnet exchange available during WAN failure.

B:

Reusable VLAN and policy patterns reduce cross-site configuration inconsistency. But this does not address the case requirement to keep local subnet exchange available during WAN failure.

C:

Identify which applications or services require remote connectivity and their alternate paths. But this does not address the case requirement to keep local subnet exchange available during WAN failure.

Question 152

An OSPF domain is redistributing unwanted branch prefixes into a carrier BGP session. What boundary is missing?

  1. Service dependency map
  2. Documented WAN failure dependence
  3. Routing protocol boundary design
  4. Site-local default gateway

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Route filtering at the WAN routing exchange is required. Clearly define where internal and WAN routing exchange prefixes and how to filter them.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Map DHCP, DNS, AAA and management dependencies to site failover behavior. But this does not address the case requirement to restrict redistributed prefixes by policy.

B:

Identify which applications or services require remote connectivity and their alternate paths. But this does not address the case requirement to restrict redistributed prefixes by policy.

D:

Local routing can keep permitted intra-site traffic available if remote WAN links fail. But this does not address the case requirement to restrict redistributed prefixes by policy.

Question 153

A redundancy tabletop exercise neglects the remote DHCP service all access VLANs require. Which preparation should be improved?

  1. Consistent site segmentation design
  2. Redundant critical-site interconnects
  3. Service dependency map
  4. Routing protocol boundary design

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Infrastructure dependency mapping must include control services. Map DHCP, DNS, AAA and management dependencies to site failover behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Reusable VLAN and policy patterns reduce cross-site configuration inconsistency. But this does not address the case requirement to check address-allocation resilience during link loss.

B:

Diverse paths and upstream termination reduce a single WAN or transport failure risk. But this does not address the case requirement to check address-allocation resilience during link loss.

D:

Clearly define where internal and WAN routing exchange prefixes and how to filter them. But this does not address the case requirement to check address-allocation resilience during link loss.

Question 154

A cutover reports success although half the fiber ports have CRC errors. What test should have been mandatory?

  1. Failover and recovery exercise
  2. Identity and policy access tests
  3. Layer 3 neighbor and route validation
  4. Layer 1 and interface verification

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Physical link status and error counters identify incomplete installation. Confirm expected speed, duplex, optics, physical state and error counters.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Intentionally remove one planned component to verify redundancy and convergence objectives. But this does not address the case requirement to prove interface health on every required uplink.

B:

Verify expected allow and deny outcomes for real endpoint roles. But this does not address the case requirement to prove interface health on every required uplink.

C:

Confirm adjacencies, route choices and end-to-end IP connectivity. But this does not address the case requirement to prove interface health on every required uplink.

Question 155

Finance VLAN 70 works at one desk but not across the aggregation trunk. What acceptance coverage is required?

  1. Layer 3 neighbor and route validation
  2. VLAN and Layer 2 reachability tests
  3. Operations and backup readiness test
  4. Failover and recovery exercise

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Test each intended VLAN end-to-end across the path. Verify tagging, MAC learning and loop-free paths for each required VLAN.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Confirm adjacencies, route choices and end-to-end IP connectivity. But this does not address the case requirement to verify bridged reachability and VLAN tagging.

C:

Confirm alerts, logs, configuration archives and restoration before formal handover. But this does not address the case requirement to verify bridged reachability and VLAN tagging.

D:

Intentionally remove one planned component to verify redundancy and convergence objectives. But this does not address the case requirement to verify bridged reachability and VLAN tagging.

Question 156

A remote subnet pings one router but learned prefixes are missing on backup distribution. Which test area addresses this?

  1. VLAN and Layer 2 reachability tests
  2. Layer 3 neighbor and route validation
  3. Identity and policy access tests
  4. Layer 1 and interface verification

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Routing validation checks adjacencies and installed routes. Confirm adjacencies, route choices and end-to-end IP connectivity.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Verify tagging, MAC learning and loop-free paths for each required VLAN. But this does not address the case requirement to verify inter-subnet and routing control-plane connectivity.

C:

Verify expected allow and deny outcomes for real endpoint roles. But this does not address the case requirement to verify inter-subnet and routing control-plane connectivity.

D:

Confirm expected speed, duplex, optics, physical state and error counters. But this does not address the case requirement to verify inter-subnet and routing control-plane connectivity.

Question 157

The test suite uses only admin identities and misses that guests can access payroll. What tests should be added?

  1. Layer 1 and interface verification
  2. Failover and recovery exercise
  3. Layer 3 neighbor and route validation
  4. Identity and policy access tests

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Verify role-based allow and deny behavior with representative users. Verify expected allow and deny outcomes for real endpoint roles.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Confirm expected speed, duplex, optics, physical state and error counters. But this does not address the case requirement to prove network segmentation is enforced.

B:

Intentionally remove one planned component to verify redundancy and convergence objectives. But this does not address the case requirement to prove network segmentation is enforced.

C:

Confirm adjacencies, route choices and end-to-end IP connectivity. But this does not address the case requirement to prove network segmentation is enforced.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Controlled fault injection demonstrates supported availability behavior. Intentionally remove one planned component to verify redundancy and convergence objectives.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Verify expected allow and deny outcomes for real endpoint roles. But this does not address the case requirement to verify recovery when a planned component fails.

B:

Verify tagging, MAC learning and loop-free paths for each required VLAN. But this does not address the case requirement to verify recovery when a planned component fails.

C:

Confirm adjacencies, route choices and end-to-end IP connectivity. But this does not address the case requirement to verify recovery when a planned component fails.

Question 159

Devices pass ping tests but operations cannot restore a backup or receive alarms. What acceptance dimension is missing?

  1. Identity and policy access tests
  2. Failover and recovery exercise
  3. Layer 1 and interface verification
  4. Operations and backup readiness test

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Operational handover requires tested archives and alerting. Confirm alerts, logs, configuration archives and restoration before formal handover.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Verify expected allow and deny outcomes for real endpoint roles. But this does not address the case requirement to ensure sustainable support after cutover.

B:

Intentionally remove one planned component to verify redundancy and convergence objectives. But this does not address the case requirement to ensure sustainable support after cutover.

C:

Confirm expected speed, duplex, optics, physical state and error counters. But this does not address the case requirement to ensure sustainable support after cutover.

Question 160

One switch interface negotiates 100M instead of required 1G after installation. What validation catches it?

  1. Operations and backup readiness test
  2. Layer 1 and interface verification
  3. Layer 3 neighbor and route validation
  4. Identity and policy access tests
