HP HPE7-A08 Practice Test 76

Question 750

A junior operator only needs to read interface errors but has full config-write access. What security control fits?

  1. Retain tamper-aware audit evidence
  2. Export authorized syslog centrally
  3. Apply least-privilege administrator roles
  4. Synchronize timestamps with NTP

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Restrict the account to necessary operational privileges. Operational observers should not hold unrestricted switch configuration permissions.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Administrative change events and configuration versions must be recorded for later review. But this does not address the case requirement to apply least-privilege admin authorization.

B:

Centralized durable logs help preserve evidence beyond local retention and device resets. But this does not address the case requirement to apply least-privilege admin authorization.

D:

Correct clock synchronization supports cross-device analysis of events and administrative actions. But this does not address the case requirement to apply least-privilege admin authorization.

Question 751

A security review finds shared local admin credentials used on every network switch. What governance improvement is appropriate?

  1. Synchronize timestamps with NTP
  2. Apply least-privilege administrator roles
  3. Export authorized syslog centrally
  4. Use secure AAA for management access

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Use identity-backed secure administrative authentication and authorization. Identity-backed SSH or API authentication links actions to authorized operators.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Correct clock synchronization supports cross-device analysis of events and administrative actions. But this does not address the case requirement to attribute changes to individual authorized users.

B:

Operational observers should not hold unrestricted switch configuration permissions. But this does not address the case requirement to attribute changes to individual authorized users.

C:

Centralized durable logs help preserve evidence beyond local retention and device resets. But this does not address the case requirement to attribute changes to individual authorized users.

Question 752

An auditor needs proof of who removed a VLAN, but logs and configuration versions were not retained. What evidence practice is missing?

  1. Retain tamper-aware audit evidence
  2. Apply least-privilege administrator roles
  3. Filter sensitive information in logs
  4. Export authorized syslog centrally

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Preserve trustworthy administrative and configuration audit records. Administrative change events and configuration versions must be recorded for later review.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Operational observers should not hold unrestricted switch configuration permissions. But this does not address the case requirement to reconstruct change history.

C:

Audit exports must avoid unnecessary credentials, customer identifiers, or secrets. But this does not address the case requirement to reconstruct change history.

D:

Centralized durable logs help preserve evidence beyond local retention and device resets. But this does not address the case requirement to reconstruct change history.

Question 753

A debug export includes passwords and private endpoint attributes that were not needed for a ticket. What should be fixed?

  1. Filter sensitive information in logs
  2. Use secure AAA for management access
  3. Retain tamper-aware audit evidence
  4. Export authorized syslog centrally

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Reduce sensitive log content and restrict its distribution. Audit exports must avoid unnecessary credentials, customer identifiers, or secrets.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Identity-backed SSH or API authentication links actions to authorized operators. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid secret exposure through diagnostics.

C:

Administrative change events and configuration versions must be recorded for later review. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid secret exposure through diagnostics.

D:

Centralized durable logs help preserve evidence beyond local retention and device resets. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid secret exposure through diagnostics.

Question 754

An operator compares OSPF fault timestamps from different sites but notices inconsistent clocks. What prerequisite should be corrected?

  1. Synchronize timestamps with NTP
  2. Export authorized syslog centrally
  3. Retain tamper-aware audit evidence
  4. Filter sensitive information in logs

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Synchronize device time through appropriate NTP sources. Correct clock synchronization supports cross-device analysis of events and administrative actions.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Centralized durable logs help preserve evidence beyond local retention and device resets. But this does not address the case requirement to correlate distributed protocol events.

C:

Administrative change events and configuration versions must be recorded for later review. But this does not address the case requirement to correlate distributed protocol events.

D:

Audit exports must avoid unnecessary credentials, customer identifiers, or secrets. But this does not address the case requirement to correlate distributed protocol events.

Question 755

A branch switch retains only a small local event buffer and overwrites useful incidents. How should retention improve?

  1. Retain tamper-aware audit evidence
  2. Apply least-privilege administrator roles
  3. Use secure AAA for management access
  4. Export authorized syslog centrally

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Send authorized syslog events to a centralized archive. Centralized durable logs help preserve evidence beyond local retention and device resets.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Administrative change events and configuration versions must be recorded for later review. But this does not address the case requirement to preserve historical diagnostic data.

B:

Operational observers should not hold unrestricted switch configuration permissions. But this does not address the case requirement to preserve historical diagnostic data.

C:

Identity-backed SSH or API authentication links actions to authorized operators. But this does not address the case requirement to preserve historical diagnostic data.

Question 756

After a privileged command changes the VSF configuration, nobody can identify the initiating account. What system of record was needed?

  1. Synchronize timestamps with NTP
  2. Filter sensitive information in logs
  3. Retain tamper-aware audit evidence
  4. Export authorized syslog centrally

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Auditable management changes and versioned configuration history. Administrative change events and configuration versions must be recorded for later review.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Correct clock synchronization supports cross-device analysis of events and administrative actions. But this does not address the case requirement to attribute operational change responsibility.

B:

Audit exports must avoid unnecessary credentials, customer identifiers, or secrets. But this does not address the case requirement to attribute operational change responsibility.

D:

Centralized durable logs help preserve evidence beyond local retention and device resets. But this does not address the case requirement to attribute operational change responsibility.

Question 757

A failed switch has only on-device checkpoints and its storage is destroyed. What backup practice would have helped?

  1. Retain protected history with version tags
  2. Export known-good configuration off-device
  3. Practice restoration on compatible hardware
  4. Encrypt and control access to backups

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Store known-good configurations in an approved separate location. A remote backup survives device loss better than only an on-switch checkpoint.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A backup policy should preserve multiple approved versions, timestamps and device identities. But this does not address the case requirement to survive loss of the original device.

C:

Restore testing confirms syntax and platform compatibility rather than assuming a backup is usable. But this does not address the case requirement to survive loss of the original device.

D:

Configuration archives can contain management addresses and sensitive service settings. But this does not address the case requirement to survive loss of the original device.

Question 758

A recovery config exists but its archive checksum differs from the original. What should be checked before using it?

  1. Verify backup integrity and readability
  2. Include dependencies and device inventory
  3. Retain protected history with version tags
  4. Practice restoration on compatible hardware

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Verify complete and intact backup content. Archived files must be complete, accessible, correct version and free of transfer corruption.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Recovery plans should record optics, license, image, model and downstream mapping, not only text configuration. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid deploying corrupted backups.

C:

A backup policy should preserve multiple approved versions, timestamps and device identities. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid deploying corrupted backups.

D:

Restore testing confirms syntax and platform compatibility rather than assuming a backup is usable. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid deploying corrupted backups.

Question 759

A branch has many backup files named latest.txt and no device identifiers. What policy improves selection?

  1. Verify backup integrity and readability
  2. Practice restoration on compatible hardware
  3. Encrypt and control access to backups
  4. Retain protected history with version tags

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Retain dated, device-specific, versioned backups. A backup policy should preserve multiple approved versions, timestamps and device identities.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Archived files must be complete, accessible, correct version and free of transfer corruption. But this does not address the case requirement to identify the correct restoration point.

B:

Restore testing confirms syntax and platform compatibility rather than assuming a backup is usable. But this does not address the case requirement to identify the correct restoration point.

C:

Configuration archives can contain management addresses and sensitive service settings. But this does not address the case requirement to identify the correct restoration point.

Question 760

A team emails raw switch configurations containing management credentials to external contractors. What safeguard is missing?

  1. Retain protected history with version tags
  2. Encrypt and control access to backups
  3. Verify backup integrity and readability
  4. Export known-good configuration off-device

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Restrict and protect configuration archives by authorized access and encryption. Configuration archives can contain management addresses and sensitive service settings.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A backup policy should preserve multiple approved versions, timestamps and device identities. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid exposing sensitive configuration data.

C:

Archived files must be complete, accessible, correct version and free of transfer corruption. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid exposing sensitive configuration data.

D:

A remote backup survives device loss better than only an on-switch checkpoint. But this does not address the case requirement to avoid exposing sensitive configuration data.
