HP HPE7-A08 Practice Test 37

Question 360

A PIM neighbor is down on one interbuilding link and multicast stops there. What data should be collected?

  1. Unicast underlay routing prerequisite
  2. Rendezvous point planning
  3. IGMP subscriber information
  4. Multicast route and interface state

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Neighbor and group forwarding states localize distribution faults. Multicast forwarding and PIM neighbor outputs reveal control-plane path health.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Multicast routing depends on valid unicast route knowledge for source and RPF decisions. But this does not address the case requirement to inspect multicast routing control plane.

B:

PIM sparse mode may require an RP mapping for shared-tree source discovery. But this does not address the case requirement to inspect multicast routing control plane.

C:

Last-hop routers need receiver membership information to forward a group into the local VLAN. But this does not address the case requirement to inspect multicast routing control plane.

Question 361

The finance VLAN must deny packets originating from guest 192.168.40.0/24 but permit approved departments. Which selector matters?

  1. Match source and destination prefixes
  2. Verify policy counters and denied flow
  3. Understand rule order and precedence
  4. Match transport protocol and ports

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Source and destination IP ranges determine matching traffic. An ACL uses address selectors to define which source/destination traffic matches.

Incorrect Answers

B:

ACL hit counters and controlled test traffic can prove enforcement rather than assuming configuration. But this does not address the case requirement to identify the network pair to restrict.

C:

Packet classification follows ordered and platform-specific ACL evaluation behavior. But this does not address the case requirement to identify the network pair to restrict.

D:

Layer 4 selectors permit or deny specific TCP/UDP services rather than all IP traffic. But this does not address the case requirement to identify the network pair to restrict.

Question 362

HTTPS is allowed to a service but SSH must be denied on the same destination IP. Which match criteria distinguish them?

  1. Use explicit limited permit rules
  2. Match source and destination prefixes
  3. Apply policy at intended interface direction
  4. Match transport protocol and ports

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

TCP port and protocol identify application flows. Layer 4 selectors permit or deny specific TCP/UDP services rather than all IP traffic.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Least-privilege allow rules should define exactly which applications need access. But this does not address the case requirement to separate two services on the same host.

B:

An ACL uses address selectors to define which source/destination traffic matches. But this does not address the case requirement to separate two services on the same host.

C:

A defined ACL has no effect until bound to supported ingress or egress policy context. But this does not address the case requirement to separate two services on the same host.

Question 363

A broad permit line is evaluated before a later deny line so unwanted packets still pass. Which ACL property matters?

  1. Understand rule order and precedence
  2. Verify policy counters and denied flow
  3. Match source and destination prefixes
  4. Apply policy at intended interface direction

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Evaluation order can make a broad earlier match decisive. Packet classification follows ordered and platform-specific ACL evaluation behavior.

Incorrect Answers

B:

ACL hit counters and controlled test traffic can prove enforcement rather than assuming configuration. But this does not address the case requirement to place filtering rules in correct logical order.

C:

An ACL uses address selectors to define which source/destination traffic matches. But this does not address the case requirement to place filtering rules in correct logical order.

D:

A defined ACL has no effect until bound to supported ingress or egress policy context. But this does not address the case requirement to place filtering rules in correct logical order.

Question 364

An ACL is defined globally but not applied to any relevant interface. What must be done?

  1. Understand rule order and precedence
  2. Match transport protocol and ports
  3. Use explicit limited permit rules
  4. Apply policy at intended interface direction

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A policy attachment determines where filtering operates. A defined ACL has no effect until bound to supported ingress or egress policy context.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Packet classification follows ordered and platform-specific ACL evaluation behavior. But this does not address the case requirement to enforce the ACL at the intended traffic boundary.

B:

Layer 4 selectors permit or deny specific TCP/UDP services rather than all IP traffic. But this does not address the case requirement to enforce the ACL at the intended traffic boundary.

C:

Least-privilege allow rules should define exactly which applications need access. But this does not address the case requirement to enforce the ACL at the intended traffic boundary.

Question 365

A developer proposes allowing all TCP ports to a database when only 5432 is needed. What principle supports narrower rules?

  1. Verify policy counters and denied flow
  2. Match source and destination prefixes
  3. Use explicit limited permit rules
  4. Match transport protocol and ports

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Least privilege limits exposed services to business requirements. Least-privilege allow rules should define exactly which applications need access.

Incorrect Answers

A:

ACL hit counters and controlled test traffic can prove enforcement rather than assuming configuration. But this does not address the case requirement to permit only the necessary application protocol.

B:

An ACL uses address selectors to define which source/destination traffic matches. But this does not address the case requirement to permit only the necessary application protocol.

D:

Layer 4 selectors permit or deny specific TCP/UDP services rather than all IP traffic. But this does not address the case requirement to permit only the necessary application protocol.

Question 366

A new ACL appears in running config but guests can still ping the protected network. What evidence should be checked?

  1. Match source and destination prefixes
  2. Match transport protocol and ports
  3. Verify policy counters and denied flow
  4. Understand rule order and precedence

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Effective bindings and hit counts show actual traffic matching. ACL hit counters and controlled test traffic can prove enforcement rather than assuming configuration.

Incorrect Answers

A:

An ACL uses address selectors to define which source/destination traffic matches. But this does not address the case requirement to validate policy placement and rule use.

B:

Layer 4 selectors permit or deny specific TCP/UDP services rather than all IP traffic. But this does not address the case requirement to validate policy placement and rule use.

D:

Packet classification follows ordered and platform-specific ACL evaluation behavior. But this does not address the case requirement to validate policy placement and rule use.

Question 367

A deny is below an any/any permit on the effective ordered policy. What should be examined?

  1. Verify policy counters and denied flow
  2. Apply policy at intended interface direction
  3. Match source and destination prefixes
  4. Understand rule order and precedence

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Rule precedence determines whether the deny is reachable. Packet classification follows ordered and platform-specific ACL evaluation behavior.

Incorrect Answers

A:

ACL hit counters and controlled test traffic can prove enforcement rather than assuming configuration. But this does not address the case requirement to make the intended deny effective.

B:

A defined ACL has no effect until bound to supported ingress or egress policy context. But this does not address the case requirement to make the intended deny effective.

C:

An ACL uses address selectors to define which source/destination traffic matches. But this does not address the case requirement to make the intended deny effective.

Question 368

Traffic is entering on an edge SVI but the ACL was bound to an unrelated egress port. What is wrong?

  1. Match transport protocol and ports
  2. Apply policy at intended interface direction
  3. Match source and destination prefixes
  4. Verify policy counters and denied flow

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Direction and interface choice control policy effectiveness. A defined ACL has no effect until bound to supported ingress or egress policy context.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Layer 4 selectors permit or deny specific TCP/UDP services rather than all IP traffic. But this does not address the case requirement to place enforcement on the actual traffic path.

C:

An ACL uses address selectors to define which source/destination traffic matches. But this does not address the case requirement to place enforcement on the actual traffic path.

D:

ACL hit counters and controlled test traffic can prove enforcement rather than assuming configuration. But this does not address the case requirement to place enforcement on the actual traffic path.

Question 369

The requirement is to permit DNS while denying unrelated UDP services. What selector should be added?

  1. Match transport protocol and ports
  2. Verify policy counters and denied flow
  3. Use explicit limited permit rules
  4. Understand rule order and precedence

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Transport ports distinguish UDP service types. Layer 4 selectors permit or deny specific TCP/UDP services rather than all IP traffic.

Incorrect Answers

B:

ACL hit counters and controlled test traffic can prove enforcement rather than assuming configuration. But this does not address the case requirement to scope protocol access to the intended UDP port.

C:

Least-privilege allow rules should define exactly which applications need access. But this does not address the case requirement to scope protocol access to the intended UDP port.

D:

Packet classification follows ordered and platform-specific ACL evaluation behavior. But this does not address the case requirement to scope protocol access to the intended UDP port.

Question 370

A newly connected corporate laptop uses EAP and must authenticate before receiving normal wired service. Which admission mechanism fits?

  1. MAC authentication exception handling
  2. 802.1X supplicant authentication
  3. Role-based downloadable policy
  4. Server reachability and fail-mode planning

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

802.1X supports supplicant-based port authentication. An EAP-capable endpoint authenticates through the switch and backend RADIUS service.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Devices without 802.1X may use a constrained alternative with known weaker identity assurance. But this does not address the case requirement to verify wired endpoint credentials before access.

C:

Authenticated identity can receive an approved role and associated enforcement policy on supported platforms. But this does not address the case requirement to verify wired endpoint credentials before access.

D:

Authentication depends on usable RADIUS reachability and supported critical or fallback behavior. But this does not address the case requirement to verify wired endpoint credentials before access.
