HP HPE6-A86 Online Questions &
Answers
Question 71:
Which statement describes static routing?
A. Unpredictable routing behavior B. Suitable for basic Layer 3 networks C. Scalable to any size D. Supports automatic failure throughout the entire network
B. Suitable for basic Layer 3 networks
Explanation
Static routing is suitable for basic Layer 3 networks with simple, predictable paths. It is manually configured and does not automatically adapt to failures across large dynamic networks, so it is not described as universally scalable or automatically resilient.
Question 72:
How do you configure an IP address for the management interface on an HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300?
A. interface mgmt no shutdown ip static 10.250.136.52/29 default-gateway 10.250.136.49 B. interface mgmt no shutdown ip address 10.250.136.52/29 default-gateway 10.250.136.49 C. interface mgmt no shutdown vrf attach mgmt D. vrf mgmt ! interface mgmt no shutdown ip static 10.250.136.52/29 default-gateway 10.250.136.49 vrf attach mgmt
A. interface mgmt no shutdown ip static 10.250.136.52/29 default-gateway 10.250.136.49
Explanation
The management interface uses the interface mgmt context with no shutdown, an ip static address, and a default gateway. The other commands either use the wrong address syntax, omit required static management addressing, or add unnecessary VRF attachment syntax for this basic configuration.
Question 73:
A customer requires a network upgrade to replace their existing access switches. The new solution must support 25G speeds to the aggregation layer, with a maximum physical space of 1U, and it must be a fixed switch solution.
Which HPE Aruba Networking CX switch model would you initially propose?
A. CX 6300 B. CX 6400 C. CX 6100 D. CX 6200
A. CX 6300
Explanation
The CX 6300 is the appropriate fixed access switch family for high-speed uplink needs such as 25G in a 1U form factor. The CX 6400 is a chassis, while CX 6100 and CX 6200 do not match the same high-speed fixed-switch requirement in this question.
Question 74:
A customer has a skilled internal DevOps team with extensive Python programming knowledge.
Which HPE Aruba Networking CX switch would you recommend for the customer to support self-made or HPE Aruba Networking-provided scripts for onboard analytics?
A. CX 6100 B. CX 6200 C. CX 4100i D. CX 6000
B. CX 6200
Explanation
The CX 6200 is the appropriate choice in the listed access-switch options for supporting onboard programmability and analytics use cases. The CX 6000, CX 6100, and CX 4100i choices are more limited for this scripting and analytics requirement.
Question 75:
Which statement about Flash memory is true?
A. Additional Flash can be added to increase available storage space. B. It contains the configuration used when the device is running. C. The contents of Flash survive when a device reboots or powers down. D. The command show running-config can view the configuration stored in Flash.
C. The contents of Flash survive when a device reboots or powers down.
Explanation
Flash memory is nonvolatile, so its contents survive a reboot or power loss. Running configuration is held in active memory, and show running-config displays the active configuration rather than the stored startup configuration in flash.
Question 76:
A technician installed a new HPE Aruba Networking 580EX Series access point, which is cabled back to an HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 48G 4SFP switch. However, there are no lights on the access point.
What could cause this issue?
A. The wrong VLAN has been configured. B. The switch does not have enough PoE budget per port. C. STP has not been configured. D. The access point cannot connect to HPE Aruba Networking Central.
B. The switch does not have enough PoE budget per port.
Explanation
An access point with no lights is consistent with a power problem. If the switch cannot supply sufficient
PoE budget per port, the AP may not power on at all. VLAN, STP, or Central connectivity issues can affect network service, but they do not normally leave the AP unpowered.
Question 77:
You have access to the CLI of an HPE Aruba Networking CX switch.
How can you output the switch make, model, and serial number displayed on the session?
A. Issue command: show support-information B. Issue command: diag dump basic C. Issue command: show configuration D. Issue command: show system
D. Issue command: show system
Explanation
The show system command displays platform identity information such as make, model, and serial number. show support-information is broader support output, show configuration displays configuration, and diagnostic dump commands are not the normal quick identity command.
Question 78:
The configuration below is an example of which security concept?
Switch(config)# user-group external-auditors
Switch(config-ur-grp-external-auditors)# 10 permit cli command " show version " Switch(config-ur-grp-
external-auditors)# 20 permit cli command " show run "
A. Authentication B. Accounting C. Zero Trust D. Role-based Access Control
D. Role-based Access Control
Explanation
The configuration creates a user group and permits specific CLI commands, which is role-based access control. Authentication verifies identity, accounting records activity, and Zero Trust is a broader security architecture rather than the specific CLI permission mechanism shown.
Question 79:
Users complain about poor call quality when using Microsoft Teams when the network is busy.
Which feature should you configure to address the issue?
A. CoS B. ZIP C. IGMP D. QoS
D. QoS
Explanation
QoS is used to classify and prioritize latency-sensitive traffic such as voice and collaboration traffic when congestion occurs. CoS can be one marking mechanism, but QoS is the broader feature used to address poor call quality. IGMP and ZIP do not prioritize Teams media flows.
Question 80:
A four-member HPE Aruba Networking CX 6200F VSF configuration is being planned to replace the current 5412R switch.
The customer has an open-source network management solution and requires an answer to how they can monitor the switch stack.
Which statement correctly describes how SNMP operates in an Aruba CX VSF stack?
A. The SNMP service must be enabled on the mgmt VRF for each VSF member for queries. B. The SNMP service on the Conductor switch will respond to all SNMP queries for the stack. C. The SNMP service will be enabled by default for each member's OOBM port for queries. D. The SNMP service will respond to queries and stack them on both Conductor and Standby members.
B. The SNMP service on the Conductor switch will respond to all SNMP queries for the stack.
Explanation
In a CX VSF stack, the conductor represents the stack for management functions such as SNMP queries.
Individual members do not each independently answer as separate managed switches for normal stack management queries.
