HP HPE7-A08 Practice Test 7

Question 60

An operations team has a central NMS that expects interface utilization counters and traps. Which integration fits?

  1. Out-of-band management reachability
  2. AOS-CX local CLI
  3. Aruba Central group-based management
  4. SNMP and event monitoring

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

SNMP and event telemetry provide standard monitoring inputs. Counters, traps and logs can feed external operations systems for network visibility.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A separate management path helps retain switch access during data-plane incidents. But this does not address the case requirement to feed operational counters to the monitoring service.

B:

CLI gives direct authorized device configuration and detailed operational inspection. But this does not address the case requirement to feed operational counters to the monitoring service.

C:

Central groups provide cloud-management organization and reusable policy across selected devices. But this does not address the case requirement to feed operational counters to the monitoring service.

Question 61

Site engineers move ten switches into one Central configuration group with a common edge role. What management technique is used?

  1. AOS-CX REST API programmability
  2. SNMP and event monitoring
  3. Aruba Central group-based management
  4. AOS-CX local CLI

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A centrally applied group manages shared policy consistently. Central groups provide cloud-management organization and reusable policy across selected devices.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The REST API exposes structured configuration and state interfaces for controlled automation. But this does not address the case requirement to standardize similar switch configuration centrally.

B:

Counters, traps and logs can feed external operations systems for network visibility. But this does not address the case requirement to standardize similar switch configuration centrally.

D:

CLI gives direct authorized device configuration and detailed operational inspection. But this does not address the case requirement to standardize similar switch configuration centrally.

Question 62

A CX switch creates a time-correlated alert when error counters cross a configured threshold. What programmable capability can do this?

  1. SNMP and event monitoring
  2. Aruba Central group-based management
  3. Network Analytics Engine telemetry
  4. AOS-CX local CLI

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

NAE monitors provide device-side alerting from state signals. NAE agents watch operational state and can capture evidence or trigger configured alerts.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Counters, traps and logs can feed external operations systems for network visibility. But this does not address the case requirement to detect an abnormal device condition immediately.

B:

Central groups provide cloud-management organization and reusable policy across selected devices. But this does not address the case requirement to detect an abnormal device condition immediately.

D:

CLI gives direct authorized device configuration and detailed operational inspection. But this does not address the case requirement to detect an abnormal device condition immediately.

Question 63

An infrastructure script must collect VLAN IDs from multiple CX devices without screen-scraping CLI text. What capability is suitable?

  1. Aruba Central group-based management
  2. SNMP and event monitoring
  3. AOS-CX REST API programmability
  4. Out-of-band management reachability

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Structured REST data avoids brittle terminal parsing. The REST API exposes structured configuration and state interfaces for controlled automation.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Central groups provide cloud-management organization and reusable policy across selected devices. But this does not address the case requirement to retrieve structured configuration for automation.

B:

Counters, traps and logs can feed external operations systems for network visibility. But this does not address the case requirement to retrieve structured configuration for automation.

D:

A separate management path helps retain switch access during data-plane incidents. But this does not address the case requirement to retrieve structured configuration for automation.

Question 64

Employees move between desks but should retain access policies after identity verification. What architecture fits?

  1. 802.1X network authentication
  2. Dynamic Segmentation and roles
  3. Static VLAN zoning
  4. Routed Layer 3 separation

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Identity-derived roles can follow a user across compatible ports. Identity-driven role assignment can attach network permissions to users and devices instead of fixed physical ports alone.

Incorrect Answers

A:

802.1X controls initial port access via supplicant, authenticator and authentication service. But this does not address the case requirement to enforce consistent network rights independent of desk.

C:

VLANs provide Layer 2 broadcast separation but do not alone prove user identity. But this does not address the case requirement to enforce consistent network rights independent of desk.

D:

Routing boundaries connect subnets while restricting broadcast propagation. But this does not address the case requirement to enforce consistent network rights independent of desk.

Question 65

A campus must keep printers and finance devices in separate Layer 2 broadcast scopes. What construct is the starting point?

  1. ACL policy enforcement
  2. 802.1X network authentication
  3. Static VLAN zoning
  4. Routed Layer 3 separation

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Distinct VLANs divide Layer 2 segments. VLANs provide Layer 2 broadcast separation but do not alone prove user identity.

Incorrect Answers

A:

ACLs permit or deny matching traffic according to configured direction and precedence. But this does not address the case requirement to separate Layer 2 broadcast domains.

B:

802.1X controls initial port access via supplicant, authenticator and authentication service. But this does not address the case requirement to separate Layer 2 broadcast domains.

D:

Routing boundaries connect subnets while restricting broadcast propagation. But this does not address the case requirement to separate Layer 2 broadcast domains.

Question 66

A wired workstation must prove its user or device identity before normal network access. Which protocol is central?

  1. MAC authentication fallback
  2. 802.1X network authentication
  3. Dynamic Segmentation and roles
  4. ACL policy enforcement

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

802.1X negotiates authenticated port admission. 802.1X controls initial port access via supplicant, authenticator and authentication service.

Incorrect Answers

A:

MAC-based methods support some devices lacking 802.1X but require careful weaker-identity controls. But this does not address the case requirement to authenticate endpoints on access ports.

C:

Identity-driven role assignment can attach network permissions to users and devices instead of fixed physical ports alone. But this does not address the case requirement to authenticate endpoints on access ports.

D:

ACLs permit or deny matching traffic according to configured direction and precedence. But this does not address the case requirement to authenticate endpoints on access ports.

Question 67

Legacy industrial controllers cannot run an EAP supplicant. Which alternative can be considered with compensating controls?

  1. 802.1X network authentication
  2. Static VLAN zoning
  3. MAC authentication fallback
  4. Routed Layer 3 separation

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

MAC-based admission may assist unsupported endpoints while offering less identity assurance. MAC-based methods support some devices lacking 802.1X but require careful weaker-identity controls.

Incorrect Answers

A:

802.1X controls initial port access via supplicant, authenticator and authentication service. But this does not address the case requirement to accommodate a non-802.1X endpoint with controlled network access.

B:

VLANs provide Layer 2 broadcast separation but do not alone prove user identity. But this does not address the case requirement to accommodate a non-802.1X endpoint with controlled network access.

D:

Routing boundaries connect subnets while restricting broadcast propagation. But this does not address the case requirement to accommodate a non-802.1X endpoint with controlled network access.

Question 68

A building must isolate broadcasts yet allow approved inter-subnet traffic. What boundary is required?

  1. MAC authentication fallback
  2. 802.1X network authentication
  3. Routed Layer 3 separation
  4. Dynamic Segmentation and roles

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Routed interfaces permit controlled communication between VLAN networks. Routing boundaries connect subnets while restricting broadcast propagation.

Incorrect Answers

A:

MAC-based methods support some devices lacking 802.1X but require careful weaker-identity controls. But this does not address the case requirement to connect separate subnets without merging their Layer 2 traffic.

B:

802.1X controls initial port access via supplicant, authenticator and authentication service. But this does not address the case requirement to connect separate subnets without merging their Layer 2 traffic.

D:

Identity-driven role assignment can attach network permissions to users and devices instead of fixed physical ports alone. But this does not address the case requirement to connect separate subnets without merging their Layer 2 traffic.

Question 69

The CFO's VLAN must not access a lab subnet even though routing paths exist. What enforcement component belongs in the design?

  1. Routed Layer 3 separation
  2. ACL policy enforcement
  3. MAC authentication fallback
  4. Static VLAN zoning

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

An ACL can deny traffic with matching source/destination criteria. ACLs permit or deny matching traffic according to configured direction and precedence.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Routing boundaries connect subnets while restricting broadcast propagation. But this does not address the case requirement to restrict selected routed traffic by policy.

C:

MAC-based methods support some devices lacking 802.1X but require careful weaker-identity controls. But this does not address the case requirement to restrict selected routed traffic by policy.

D:

VLANs provide Layer 2 broadcast separation but do not alone prove user identity. But this does not address the case requirement to restrict selected routed traffic by policy.

Question 70

A portable medical device changes physical switch ports but retains a clinical-network role. Which approach reduces per-port policy edits?

  1. Static VLAN zoning
  2. Routed Layer 3 separation
  3. 802.1X network authentication
  4. Dynamic Segmentation and roles

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Role-driven segmentation can decouple policy from attachment point. Identity-driven role assignment can attach network permissions to users and devices instead of fixed physical ports alone.

Incorrect Answers

A:

VLANs provide Layer 2 broadcast separation but do not alone prove user identity. But this does not address the case requirement to apply the same authorized role as devices relocate.

B:

Routing boundaries connect subnets while restricting broadcast propagation. But this does not address the case requirement to apply the same authorized role as devices relocate.

C:

802.1X controls initial port access via supplicant, authenticator and authentication service. But this does not address the case requirement to apply the same authorized role as devices relocate.
