HP HPE6-A73 Online Questions & Answers

  • Question 1:

    An administrator is managing a network comprised of AOS-CX switches deployed at the aggregation layer. The switches are paired in a VSX stack and run the OSPF routing protocol. The administrator is concerned about how long it takes for OSPF to converge when one of the VSX switches has to reboot.

    What should the administrator to do speed up the OSPF convergence of the switch that is rebooting?

    A. Change the VSXISL link from an OSPF broadcast link point-to-point.
    B. Implement graceful restart on the VSX switches and their neighboring OSPF switches.
    C. Decrease the VSX initial synchronization timer on the two VSX switches.
    D. Define non-backbone areas on the VSX switches as totally stubby areas.

  • Question 2:

    Examine the network exhibit:

    The ACL configuration defined on Core-1 is as follows:

    If telnet was being used, which device connection would be permitted and functional in both directions? (Choose two.)

    A. Client 3 to Client 2
    B. Client 1 to Client 2
    C. Server 2 to Client 2
    D. Server 1 to Client 1
    E. Client 1 to Client 3

  • Question 3:

    Which concept is implemented using Aruba's dynamic segmentation?

    A. Root of trust
    B. Device fingerprinting
    C. Zero Touch Provisioning
    D. Colorless port

  • Question 4:

    Examine the output from an AOS-CX switch implementing a dynamic segmentation solution involving downloadable user roles:

    Switch# show port-access role clearpass

    Role information:

    Name : icxarubadur_employee-3044-2

    Type : clearpass

    Status: failed, parsing_failed

    Reauthentication Period :

    Authentication Mode :

    Session Timeout :

    The downloadable user roles are not being downloaded to the AOS-CX switch. Based on the above output, what is the problem?

    A. The certificate that ClearPass uses in invalid
    B. The AOS-CX switch does not have the ClearPass certificate involved
    C. DNS fails to resolve the ClearPass server's FQDN
    D. There is a date/time issue between the ClearPass server and the switch

  • Question 5:

    Which protocol does NetEdit use to discover devices in a subnet during the discovery process?

    A. LLDP
    B. ARP
    C. DHCP
    D. ICMP

  • Question 6:

    What is correct regarding the configuration of ACLs on AOS-CX switches?

    A. Statements with the log keyword are always processed by the switch CPU.
    B. Standard ACLs are used to match on routes when performing route distribution.
    C. Wildcard masks are used to match on a range of IP addresses.
    D. Numbers 100 through 199 and 2000 through 2999 are used when creating extended ACLs.

  • Question 7:

    An administrator is supporting a network with the access layer consisting of AOS-CX 6300 and 6400 switches. The administrator needs to quickly deploy Aruba IAPs and security cameras in the network, ensuring that the correct QoS and VLAN settings are dynamically applied to the switch ports. Currently, switches are not configured to do device authentication, and no authentication server exists in the network.

    Which AOS-CX feature should the administrator use to dynamically assign the policy settings to the correct switch ports?

    A. Device profiles
    B. Change of authorization
    C. Dynamic segmentation
    D. Voice VLANs

  • Question 8:

    The network is configured for OSPF with the following attributes: Core1 and Core2 and ABRs Area 1 has 20 networks in the 10.1.0.0/16 range Area 0 has 10 networks in the 10.0.0.0/16 range Area 2 has 50 networks in the 10.2.0.0/16 range The ASBR is importing a static route into Area 1 Core2 has a summary for Area 2: area 0.0.0.2 range 10.2.0.0/16 type inter-area Here is the OSPF configuration performed on Core1:

    Based on the above information, what is correct?

    A. Area 0 has 13 routes
    B. Core1 has no OSPF routes
    C. Core1 has received one LSA Type 5 from the ASBR
    D. Area 1 has 23 routes

  • Question 9:

    An administrator implements interim accounting for guest users so that ClearPass can track the amount of bandwidth that guests upload and download. Guests that abuse bandwidth consumption should be disconnected from the network. The administrator configures the following on the AOS-CX access switches:

    After performing this configuration, the administrator notices that guest users that have exceeded the guest bandwidth limit are not being disconnected. Upon further investigation, Access Tracker in ClearPass indicates a disconnect CoA message is being sent to the AOS-CX switch.

    What is causing this issue?

    A. RADIUS change of authorization is not enabled on the AOS-CX switch.
    B. Bandwidth consumption of the guests is not being reported by the AOS-CX switch.
    C. NTP is not configured on the AOS-CX switch.
    D. There is a time discrepancy between the AOS-CX switch and ClearPass.

  • Question 10:

    Examine the VSX-related configuration of the core layer AOS-CX switch:

    A network administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity issue involving the VSX LAG (link aggregation) between the core and access layer switch, during HW replacement of one of the core switches. Which configuration should the administrator add to the core switch to fix this issue?

    A. ICX-Tx-Core1(config)# vsx ICX-Tx-Core1(config-vsx)# system-mac 02:01:00:00:01:00
    B. ICX-Tx-Core1(config)# interface lag 1 multi-chassis ICX-Tx-Core1(config-if-lag-if)# mtu 9198
    C. ICX-Tx-Core1(config)# interface 1/1/46-1/1/47 ICX-Tx-Core1(config-if-vlan)# active-gateway ip 10.1.11.1 mac 02:02:00:00:01:00
    D. ICX-Tx-Core1(config)# interface 1/1/45 ICX-Tx-Core1(config-if-vlan)# active-gateway ip 192.168.0.0 mac 02:02:00:00:01:00
