NEW QUESTION # 45
A global furniture retail company called 'No-Stair Inc.' requests you design their new WLAN infrastructure for a global footprint. Each location of 'No-Stair Inc." has a similar layout: three small manager offices, a warehouse, and a 'retail' area. The 'retail' area and the warehouse together amount to 95% of the location. The IT department of the company is minimally engaged in their LAN refresh so the CTO of the company has shared the information below.
Current WLAN Infrastructure is based on the 802.11n "WIFI4Less" access-points series (both model 2013-INT (2.4 only internal antenna) and model 2019-EXT (dual-band external antenna only). These AP models are standalone without any centralized management. Last year 'No-Stair Inc.' ran a project called 'secure-it' ensuring that all needed network security was implemented to be fully compliant with their security standards. During this project, they also upgraded the AAA.
Infrastructure to handle the increased AAA requests. No additional Wi-Fi or security requirements are listed for this WLAN refresh, which means that 'No-Stair Inc.' will continue to use bridged SSIDs, with local breakout into different VLANs.
The CTO of 'No-Stair Inc.' understands the need for you to ask additional questions to deliver the design. The questions may be sent in written form and will be answered within two weeks.
What is a possible constraint?

  • A. Does the existing WAN infrastructure support an upgraded Wi-Fi Network?
  • B. Does the existing core switch support an upgraded WiFi Network?
  • C. Does the existing AAA infrastructure support an upgraded Wi-Fi Network?
  • D. Do the business-critical end devices being used support 5 or 6Ghz?

Answer: B

Explanation:
A constraint is a fixed limitation that the design must work within. Because No-Stair Inc. will continue to use bridged SSIDs with local VLAN breakout, all Wi-Fi traffic remains local and depends on the existing LAN/core switching infrastructure. If the core switches cannot support the increased bandwidth and capabilities of a modern Wi-Fi upgrade, this becomes a hard design limitation - a constraint.

NEW QUESTION # 47
What are the advantages of using a VSX-pair instead of two discrete switches to connect servers, storage, firewalls, and other workloads?

  • A. You can save half the number of licenses needed for AFC.
  • B. VMWare-Host can be connected with or without using LACP. regardless of their license.
  • C. Bare metal servers can be connected via MLAGs using LACP.
  • D. The setup is much easier since both switches are sharing the same configuration.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) is a virtualization technology for Aruba AOS-CX switches that provides high availability by allowing two switches to appear as a single logical device to connected endpoints.
The primary advantage for servers and workloads includes:
* Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG): VSX allows for the creation of Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation Groups. This enables bare metal servers and other workloads to connect to two different physical switches using a single LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) bond.
* Redundancy and Throughput: Because both links in the MLAG are active, the server benefits from doubled bandwidth and seamless failover; if one switch goes down, the server continues to communicate through the second switch without a port flap.
* Control Plane Independence: Unlike older stacking technologies (VSR), VSX maintains separate control planes for each switch. This allows for Live Upgrades, where one switch can be updated while the other continues to forward traffic, ensuring zero downtime for connected workloads.
Why other options are incorrect:
* Option B: While VMware hosts can connect, their ability to use LACP is dependent on the VMware license level (e.g., Distributed Virtual Switch requires Enterprise Plus).
* Option C: While VSX synchronizes some parameters via the VSX-Sync feature, both switches maintain their own unique configurations (such as IP addresses and hostnames), so they do not literally
"share the same configuration".

Answer: A,C

Explanation:
To meet the customer's requirement of managing two wiring closets as a single stack with a minimum transport speed of 25Gbps over OM4 MM fiber, especially when the closets are 190m apart, the most cost-effective solution would involve using SFP transceivers. SFP28 transceivers can support speeds up to
25Gbps, aligning with the customer's minimum speed requirement. For higher speeds or future-proofing, SFP56 transceivers, which can support speeds up to 50Gbps, could also be considered. Both types are compatible with OM4 multimode fiber, which is capable of supporting these high speeds over the distance specified. DAC (Direct Attach Cable) solutions like options A and C would not be feasible due to the 190m distance between the closets, as DAC cables are typically used for much shorter distances.


NEW QUESTION # 51
ACME retail has 38 locations spread out across Ave US states and two provinces in Canada. They are looking to grow 20% over the next two years. They have an HO with a staff of 200 employees. The organization has eight Regional Managers and two VPs who work from home and the road. Stores typically have 17 employees on average per location.
The two warehouses have a remote loading system and 20 employees each to load the trucks and fulfill the online orders. The warehouse has 40-foot ceilings and large metal racks to store inventory. The main location is 240K sq ft (22300 st) m) and the Canadian warehouse Is 130K sq ft (12100 sq ml. The forkllfts on the loading docks are equipped with a wireless tablet on board.
A typical store Is reportedly about 60.000 sq ft (5575 sqm) and smaller stores are planned at 25.000 sq ft '2320 sq mi. The locations need to expand the abilities to vendors that need to add setup displays or Interactive kiosks in the stores. The current Infrastructure was installed In 2015 and used wireless N technology in a coverage model. The wiring is CatS. and they are unsure of the fiber connections. The inventory is all placed on the floor when it is delivered to the local store.
Inventory control is handled through Zebra barcode scanners, and they have had a lot of issues in getting signals throughout the stores and this makes monthly inventory difficult. The organization has asmall help desk to troubleshoot issues that happen at the retail locations and PC support for the office. The company is looking to upgrade away from the current pbx system later this year. With the need to grow and cut costs, they are interested in moving the data to the cloud but need to get almost real-time inventory control for the online service to function.
The network has all been wired over the last ten years, but with the new systems being all wireless, they have seen the trend to offer wireless to all the vendors for their needs but also would like to allow employees, guests, and contractors all to use it. With the new IT director starting next week, the project has been set by the CTO of the company. The marketing group has asked how they can interact with the customers and get more info, while the IT support desk needs to cut staff in halt.
The. office has an MDF and two IDFs located on floors one and two. The HOF is in the basement, and you have multiple WAN circuits for the HO links. Each store has a local handoff from the cable company (ethernet) In the middle of the store in the office, so distance for the wiring is not an issue.
The customer has budget concerns but does want something that could last 7+ years.
What should the architect be concerned about regarding the solution? (Select two.)

  • A. Active Directory
  • B. IP addresses
  • C. Regulatory Domains
  • D. multiple locations

Answer: C,D

Explanation:
In designing a network solution for ACME Retail, which operates across various regions in the US and Canada, the architect must consider Regulatory Domains and the challenges posed by multiple locations.
Regulatory Domains are crucial because wireless standards and allowed frequencies vary by country, affecting how WLAN equipment is configured and deployed. Compliance with local regulations is essential to avoid legal issues and ensure optimal network performance. The challenge of multiple locations involves ensuring consistent, high-quality network service across all sites, despite geographical distances and site-specific characteristics. This requires a scalable, flexible network architecture that can be centrally managed while accommodating the unique needs of each location.


NEW QUESTION # 52
Which is true when it comes to Aruba Central licensing for gateways? (Select two.)

  • A. Aruba Gateway normal licensing is subdivided into three categories: Foundation, Advanced, and Foundation Base.
  • B. SD-WAN Gateway functionality requires security licensing.
  • C. Aruba WLAN Gateway licenses allow normal SD-Branch features within a campus.
  • D. Aruba SD-Branch Gateway licenses allow normal WLAN Gateway features within a campus.

Answer: A,D

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
* Aruba Central Licensing for GatewaysAruba has moved to a tiered subscription licensing model for gateways managed by Aruba Central. Licensing is divided into:
* Foundation Base - provides basic gateway management and monitoring.
* Foundation - enables standard gateway functionality such as WLAN gateway roles, routing, and tunneling.
* Advanced - adds enhanced capabilities such as SD-WAN features, security services, and advanced routing.
* Why Option A is CorrectAruba Central licensing for gateways is indeed subdivided into three categories: Foundation Base, Foundation, and Advanced. This aligns directly with Aruba's documented Central licensing structure.
* Why Option B is IncorrectSD-WAN functionality is not tied to "security licensing." Instead, SD- WAN features are unlocked with the Advanced license tier. Security services may also be enabled at that tier, but they are not a separate license requirement.
* Why Option C is CorrectAruba SD-Branch Gateways (with appropriate Central licensing) can also provide WLAN Gateway features in a campus deployment. This is explicitly supported in Aruba's ESP and Central design guides, where branch gateways can terminate WLAN tunnels and provide role-based policy enforcement in addition to SD-WAN.
* Why Option D is IncorrectThe reverse is not true - Aruba WLAN Gateway licenses do not allow SD-Branch features. A WLAN gateway license is designed for campus WLAN tunnel termination and policy enforcement, but does not include SD-WAN branch functions.
* Aruba Official Design Guide Reference:
* Aruba Central Licensing Overview: Gateway licensing is split into Foundation Base, Foundation, and Advanced.
* Aruba ESP Campus Design Guide: SD-Branch gateways can run both SD-WAN and WLAN Gateway roles when properly licensed.
* Aruba Central Feature Matrix: SD-WAN functionality requires the Advanced license tier, not a separate "security license."


NEW QUESTION # 53
A global cruise line company needs to refresh its current fleet. They will refresh the 'insides' of the ship to be cost-effective and increase their sustainability. They will replace the complete WLAN/LAN hardware of the ship. In this refresh, the company will not refresh its current security requirements. The CIO also wants to limit the number of unused ports in the switches. Future expansion will always mean a refresh of hardware. They start with the smallest ship with a maximum of 800 guests.
Each ship has a LAN infrastructure consisting of two core switches, up to 10 redundant distribution switches, and up to 500 access switches (400 cabins, 100 technical rooms). The Core switches are located in the MDF of the ship and the distribution switches are located in the IDFs of the ship. Each cabin and technical room gets one single access switch.
The cabling structure of the ship will not be refreshed. Each IDF is connected to the MDF by SMF, of which two pairs are available for the interconnect between the core and distribution. The length of SM fiber between MDF and IDF is less than 300 meters (980 ft) and the type used is OS1. Each cabin is connected by a single OM2 pair to the IDF, the maximum length is 60 meters (200 ft). Each technical room is connected by a single OM2 pair to the IDF, with lengths between
100 and 150 meters (320 and 500 ft).
For each cabin/technical room the customer is looking to replace their current fan-less 2530/2540 without changing the requirements, except they need to upgrade the uplink to distribution switch to 10GbE to handle the increased network traffic, and the technical rooms need redundant power.
The WLAN infrastructure will be 1:1 refreshed without new cabling or new AP locations. Their WLAN infrastructure is based on the 200/300 series indoor and outdoor APs running InstantOS (less than 300 APs), the customer has no change in WLAN requirements.
The cruise line company will replace its current internet connection before the LAN/WLAN refresh. The new Internet connection will provide a 99.8% uptime, which is needed to ensure the paid quest Wi-Fi is always operational. With this new Internet connection, the CIO of the cruise line wants to base the design on the ESP architecture from Aruba because internet connection is guaranteed.
The week after the presentation of your design to the CIO of the cruise line company, the ClO calls you to discuss increasing the security of the wired network infrastructure. Since one of their competitors had one of their cruise ships cyber hacked, the CSO of the cruise line has mandated increased security on the wired network. They have heard about dynamic segmentation and central and decentral overlay networks.
What would you advise as the most cost-efficient solution?

  • A. Standardize on 6200 switches for the access layer, add a cluster of 9240 GWs, and implement central overlay networks on UBT basis.
  • B. Standardize on 6100 switches for the access layer, add a cluster of 9240 GWs, and implement central overlay networks on UBT basis.
  • C. Standardize on 6300 switches for the access layer, add a cluster of 9240 GWs, and implement central overlay networks on UBT basis.
  • D. Standardize on 6000 switches for the access layer, add a cluster of 9240 GWs, and implement central overlay networks on UBT basis.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Given the need to increase the security of the wired network infrastructure while being cost- efficient, advising the cruise line company to standardize on Aruba 6300 switches for the access layer is the most appropriate solution. The Aruba 6300 Series offers advanced features suitable for such environments, including high-performance, scalability, and enhanced security capabilities. Adding a cluster of 9240 Gateways for implementing central overlay networks on a User-Based Tunneling (UBT) basis further strengthens the network's security posture. This setup supports dynamic segmentation, which allows for the enforcement of consistent policies and secure access across the network, irrespective of the user or device type. This architecture not only meets the increased security requirements set forth by the cruise line's CSO but also aligns with the company's existing infrastructure and future refresh plans, ensuring cost-efficiency and sustainability.


NEW QUESTION # 54
When planning vsx. which connectivity option is supported but should be avoided when planning Keepalive links?

  • A. loopback interface over routed ports
  • B. dedicated Interface
  • C. loopback interface over transit VLAN
  • D. OOBM interface

Answer: D

Explanation:
The VSX Keepalive link is a crucial secondary communication path used to prevent "split-brain" scenarios by monitoring the health of the peer switch when the Inter-Switch Link (ISL) fails.
While multiple methods are technically supported, the OOBM (Out-of-Band Management) interface is generally recommended only as a last resort and should be avoided in high-performance or critical environments for the following reasons:
* Shared Management Infrastructure: Using the OOBM port makes the VSX state dependent on the management network's reliability. If the management switch or network between the two VSX peers fails, it can trigger a false Keepalive failure.
* Latency and Convergence: The OOBM interface typically has lower processing priority and bandwidth compared to front-panel data ports, which can lead to slower convergence or missed heartbeats during periods of high management traffic.
* Best Practice: The preferred method is a Dedicated Interface (Option B) using a direct physical connection between the two switches on a dedicated VRF to ensure maximum reliability and isolation from both the data plane and the management plane.

NEW QUESTION # 57
A large multinational financial institution has contracted you to design a new full-stack wired and wireless network for their new 6-story regional office building. The bottom two floors of this facility will be retail space for a large banking branch. The upper floors will be carpeted office space for corporate users, each floor being approximately 100,000 sq ft (9290 sq m). Data centers are all offsite and will be out of scope for this project. The customer is underserved by its existing L2- based network infrastructure and would like to take advantage of modem best practices in the new design. The network should be fully resilient and fault-tolerant, with dynamic segmentation at the edge.
The retail space will include public guest Wi-Fi access. Retail associates will have corporate tablets for customer service, and there will be a mix of wired and wireless devices throughout the retail floors. The corporate users will primarily use wireless for connectivity, but several wired clients, printers, and hard VoIP phones will be in use.
The customer is also planning on renovating the corporate office space in order to take advantage of 'smart office' technology. These improvements will drive blue-dot wayfinding, presence analytics, and other location-based services.
The client decided that wired headless devices would be authenticated using Mac Authentication and would have RADIUS attributes sent back to the NAD to assign VLAN and port access parameters to the authentication session on the switch port.
What would be critical in making this a successful deployment? (Choose two.)

  • A. Airwave
  • B. ClearPass
  • C. Mobility Gateway
  • D. DHCP

Answer: B,D

Explanation:
For a successful deployment of MAC Authentication with RADIUS attributes for VLAN and port access parameters, ClearPass is critical. ClearPass Policy Manager offers advanced network access control, policy management, and is capable of handling MAC Authentication effectively. It can communicate with the Network Access Devices (NADs) to apply the correct access policies based on RADIUS attributes received during the authentication process. DHCP is also crucial in this setup for dynamically assigning IP addresses to authenticated devices, ensuring that they can connect to the network with the appropriate network settings. Together, ClearPass and DHCP services form the backbone of a secure, manageable, and dynamically segmented network infrastructure, ensuring devices are authenticated and receive the correct network configuration.

ACME retail has 38 locations spread out across Ave US states and two provinces in Canada. They are looking to grow 20% over the next two years. They have an HO with a staff of 200 employees. The organization has eight Regional Managers and two VPs who work from home and the road. Stores typically have 17 employees on average per location.
The two warehouses have a remote loading system and 20 employees each to load the trucks and fulfill the online orders. The warehouse has 40-foot ceilings and large metal racks to store inventory. The main location is 240K sq ft (22300 st) m) and the Canadian warehouse Is 130K sq ft (12100 sq ml. The forkllfts on the loading docks are equipped with a wireless tablet on board.
A typical store Is reportedly about 60.000 sq ft (5575 sqm) and smaller stores are planned at 25.000 sq ft
'2320 sq mi. The locations need to expand the abilities to vendors that need to add setup displays or Interactive kiosks in the stores.

The clients existing network isexperiencing trouble with voice occasionally dropping out on phone calls between office locations, it Is determined that no packet loss is occurring and QOS is likely the cause. With what phenomenon Is the client currently experiencing issues?

  • A.
  • B.
  • C.

Answer: B

Explanation:
The client is experiencing issues with Jitter, as depicted in Option B. Jitter refers to the variation in time between packets arriving, caused by network congestion, timing drift, or route changes. In voice communications, jitter can manifest as the occasional dropping out of voice on phone calls because the variable delay can affect the steady stream of voice packets needed for a clear conversation. Even when there is no packet loss, high levels of jitter can significantly impact the quality of Voice over IP (VoIP) calls.
Quality of Service (QoS) settings are essential in managing jitter, as they can prioritize voice traffic over other types of data, ensuring that voice packets are delivered consistently and in the correct order to minimize delays and prevent call quality degradation. Aruba Campus Access solutions would typically include QoS features to manage and mitigate jitter on the network.
