Question 1

What is the ideal mounting position for a typical Aruba indoor AP?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: The ideal mounting position for a typical Aruba indoor AP is horizontally, below a suspended ceiling. This positioning takes advantage of the AP's antenna radiation pattern and helps provide optimal wireless coverage and performance within the indoor environment.

Question 2

Which authentication does Aruba's Captive Portal use?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: Aruba’s Captive Portal uses Layer 3 authentication, which means that it intercepts the client’s HTTP requests and redirects them to a web page where the client can enter their credentials. The credentials are then verified by a RADIUS server or a local database before granting network access. Reference: https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/Instant_86_WebHelp/Content/instantug/captive-portal/captive-portal-auth.htm Aruba's Captive Portal primarily uses Layer 3 authentication, which operates at the network layer. When a user connects to a network with a Captive Portal, they are redirected to a web page for authentication. This process involves the user entering credentials or accepting terms and conditions through a web interface before gaining full access to the network. The Captive Portal intercepts the user's web traffic at Layer 3, requiring them to authenticate before proceeding, which is why it's considered a form of Layer 3 authentication.

Question 3

When using the OSPF dynamic routing protocol on an Aruba CX switch, what must match on the neighboring devices to exchange routes?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: OSPF Open Shortest Path First. OSPF is a link-state routing protocol that uses a hierarchical structure to create a routing topology for IP networks. OSPF routers exchange routing information with their neighbors using Hello packets, which are sent periodically on each interface. To establish an adjacency Adjacency is a relationship formed between selected neighboring routers for the purpose of exchanging routing information., OSPF routers must agree on several parameters, including Hello timers, which specify how often Hello packets are sent on an interface. If the Hello timers do not match between neighboring routers, they will not form an adjacency and will not exchange routes.

Question 4

You are in a meeting with a customer where you are asked to explain the network redundancy feature Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP). What is the correct statement for this feature?

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: MSTP Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol. MSTP is an IEEE standard protocol for preventing loops in a network with multiple VLANs. MSTP allows multiple VLANs to be mapped to a reduced number of spanning-tree instances. configuration ID consists of two parameters: name and revision. The name is a 32-byte ASCII string that identifies the MSTP region, which is a group of switches that share the same configuration ID and VLAN-to-instance mapping. The revision is a 16-bit number that indicates the version of the configuration ID. By default, the MSTP configuration ID name is set to the switch IMC address, which is a unique identifier derived from the MAC address Media Access Control address. MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for use as a network address in communications within a network segment. of the switch.

Question 5

What is the correct command to add a static route to a class-c-network 10.2.10.0 via a gateway of 172.16.1.1?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: The correct command to add a static route to a class-c-network 10.2.10.0 via a gateway of 172.16.1.1 is ip-route 10.2.10.0/24 172.16.1.1 . This command specifies the destination network address (10.2.10.0) and prefix length (/24) and the next-hop address (172.16.1 .1) for reaching that network from the switch. The other commands are either incorrect syntax or incorrect parameters for adding a static route. Reference: https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/AOSCX_10_04/NOSCG/Content/cx-noscg/ip-routing/static-routes.htm To add a static route in network devices, including Aruba switches, the correct command format generally includes the destination network, subnet mask (or CIDR notation for the mask), and the next-hop IP address. The command "ip route 10.2.10.0/24 172.16.1.1" correctly specifies the destination network "10.2.10.0" with a class C subnet mask indicated by "/24", and "172.16.1.1" as the next-hop IP address. This command is succinct and follows the standard syntax for adding a static route in many network operating systems, including ArubaOS-CX. The other options either have incorrect syntax or include additional unnecessary parameters that are not typically part of the standard command to add a static route.

Question 6

https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/HP_HPE6-A85/page_3_img_1.jpg Based on the given topology, what is the requirement on an Aruba switch to enable LLDP messages to be received by Switch 1 port 1/1/24. when Router 1 is enabled with LLDP?

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: On Aruba switches, the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is enabled by default on all ports. This protocol is an industry-standard network discovery protocol that is used for network devices to advertise their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a locally managed network, typical in an IEEE 802 network. This is beneficial for network mapping and troubleshooting purposes. Since LLDP is enabled by default, there is no need for any additional configuration on Switch 1 port 1/1/24 to receive LLDP messages from Router 1, as long as LLDP is not disabled on the port.

Question 7

What does a slow amber-flashing Stack-LED indicate?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: A slow amber-flashing Stack-LED indicates that stacking mode is selected on the switch. This means that the switch is ready to join a stack or form a new stack if no other switches are present. Reference: https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_86_Web_Help/Content/arubaossolutions/1-overview/stacking-leds.htm

Question 8

What can be done to dynamically set the PoE Priority on a switch port when deploying IP cameras APs. and other PoE devices?

Accepted Answer

B

Explanation: Profiling is a feature that allows Aruba switches to automatically identify and classify devices connected to them based on various attributes such as MAC address, DHCP options, LLDP information, etc. Profiling can be used to dynamically set the PoE priority on a switch port based on the device type and power requirements. For example, an IP camera may have a higher PoE priority than a printer or a PC. Profiling can also be used to apply other configuration settings such as VLANs, ACLs, QoS, etc. based on the device profile.

Accepted Answer

A

Explanation: To troubleshoot an Aruba CX 6300F switch that is failing to boot correctly, you would typically use the USB-C console port. This port allows you to connect to the switch directly with a console cable and access the boot loader menu, where you can see the available OS images and the ServiceOS for recovery and troubleshooting purposes.

Question 10

Where can you set the client's broadcast domain when configuring an ArubaOS firewall role?

Accepted Answer

D

Explanation: The client's broadcast domain in ArubaOS can be set with role-based VLAN overrides within the firewall role settings. This allows for dynamic assignment of VLANs to users based on their role, which determines their level of network access, including their broadcast domain.

Question 11

Which device configuration group types can a user define in Aruba Central during group creation? (Select two.)

Accepted Answer

Explanation: In Aruba Central during group creation, users can define various configuration groups to manage settings for multiple devices. A Security group allows you to apply consistent security settings across devices, and a Template group enables you to apply pre-defined configurations to devices. These groups help streamline the deployment and management of network devices in Aruba Central.

Question 12

Based on the "show ip route" output on an Aruba CX 8325, what type of route is "10.20.0.0/22, vrf default via 10.1.1.1, [110/200]"?

Accepted Answer

C

Explanation: The route "10.20.0.0/22, vrf default via 10.1.1.1, [110/200]" indicates that it is an OSPF route. This is evidenced by the administrative distance and metric "[110/200]" where 110 is the default administrative distance for OSPF routes.

Question 13

A hacker has altered a user's 3-Way Handshake in order to gain access to their session. Which security mechanism would intelligently deny this traffic?

Accepted Answer

D

Explanation: A stateful firewall would intelligently deny traffic from a hacker attempting to alter a user's 3-Way Handshake to gain access to their session. Stateful firewalls keep track of the state of active connections and can recognize if an incoming packet is part of an established session. This allows them to detect and block unauthorized access attempts that do not match the known state of a connection.

Question 14

DRAG DROP What is the correct order of the TCP 3-Way Handshake sequence? https://kxbjsyuhceggsyvxdkof.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/file-images/HP_HPE6-A85/page_36_img_1.jpg

Accepted Answer

Explanation: TCP 3-Way Handshake sequence is: Step 1: The initiating host sends a packet with no data to the target host with a SEQ=1 and sets the SYN flag to 1. Step 2: The target host responds with a packet with ACK=2, SEQ=8, and the SYN and ACK flags set to 1. Step 3: The initiating host sends a packet with SEQ=2, ACK=9, and the ACK flag set to 1. Step 4: A normal-controlled connection is established.
