What is the recommended practice for using VSX at the core of a three-tier design?
You are developing a technical proposal for a customer that plans to deploy HPE Aruba Networking Cloud Central-managed AOS-10 Access Points in a typical campus office environment. The customer has used ARM-based radio resource management successfully for many years. During their transition to AOS-10, they ask for guidance on suitable initial EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) values for new radio profiles in HPE Aruba Networking Central.
Which EIRP configuration option should be recommended as an appropriate starting point for this office deployment?
A large multinational financial institution has hired you to design a new full-stack wired and wireless network for its new six-story regional office building. The bottom two floors will provide retail space for a large banking branch. The upper floors will be carpeted corporate office space, with each floor approximately 100,000 sq ft (9290 sq m). All data centers are offsite and outside this project’s scope. The customer is underserved by its existing L2-based network infrastructure and wants to use modern best practices in the new design. The network must be fully resilient and fault-tolerant, with dynamic segmentation at the edge.
The retail space will offer public guest Wi-Fi. Retail associates will use corporate tablets for customer service, and the retail floors will contain a mix of wired and wireless devices. Corporate users will primarily connect wirelessly, although several wired clients, printers, and hard VoIP phones will also be used.
The customer also plans to renovate the corporate office space to take advantage of 'smart office' technology. These enhancements will enable blue-dot wayfinding, presence analytics, and other location-based services.
The client wants redundant RADIUS resources in each of its three geographical regions (AMER, EMEA, and APAC). A large office location in each region has sufficient VMware resources available.
Each region has 5,000 clients, all of whom must perform either 802.1x wired or wireless authentication, as well as 802.1x authentication for one personal Wi-Fi device.
All non-personal devices must also validate health with a local agent.
An average of 500 guests are expected to be connected, with a maximum of 700 simultaneous connections using Guest Portal for Internet access.
TACACS authentication will also be configured for a total of 1,200 evenly distributed NADs.
To support virtual IPs and server redundancy in every region, how many Virtual Policy Manager Licenses are required?
Manufacturing A.B.C. is a mid-sized international company that specializes in manufacturing industrial equipment. It has operated in the market for more than two decades and has become a reputable participant in its industry. However, rapid technological advances have left its existing network infrastructure outdated and unable to keep pace with modern manufacturing-process demands.
Manufacturing A.B.C.'s network combines legacy wired and wireless components from multiple vendors, resulting in frequent downtime and reduced production efficiency. The aging equipment causes slow data-transfer rates, unreliable connectivity, and greater exposure to cyber threats. Fiber cabling must also be upgraded because OM2 is used for most of it.
Further compounding the network problems, the CTO's recent departure has left the company without a clear direction for the network-refresh project. The management team lacks consensus on the upgrade's scope, budget, and timeline.
The manufacturing customer's primary objectives are as follows:
Improve network performance and reliability to enhance production processes and minimize downtime.
Enhance network security to safeguard sensitive data and intellectual property.
Streamline communication and collaboration among the organization's different departments.
Ensure scalability to support future growth and technological advances.
Manufacturing A.B.C. requires a comprehensive network refresh with these components:
Upgrade the wired infrastructure to high-speed Ethernet switches to support increased data-transfer rates and reduce latency.
Implement a robust wireless solution with enterprise-grade access points that provides seamless connectivity throughout the manufacturing facility.
Use centralized network-management tools to simplify network administration and monitoring.
Expectations:
The customer expects the network-refresh project to be completed efficiently, with minimal disruption to ongoing operations. They seek a reliable, experienced network-solutions provider that understands their specific manufacturing requirements and can deliver a customized solution consistent with their budget constraints. Given the recent CTO change, the manufacturing customer is eager to receive clear project proposals and decision-making support.
As a network-solutions provider, your role is to address these concerns, provide expert guidance, and present a clearly defined plan to meet the objectives effectively.
Manufacturing A.B.C. must regulate various traffic types with QoS, and the architect chose DWRR instead of SP queuing. Which switches support DWRR?
Choose two.
Which platforms can be used to demonstrate your solution to a customer?
Choose two.
Which statement is true regarding HPE Aruba Networking Central licensing for gateways?
The current IT staff is accustomed to working with legacy OS-S (ProCurve) equipment. They are concerned that the differing command syntax will prevent them from handling OS-CX switches.
Which two methods can make their transition easier? (Select two.)
Choose two.
XYZ Regional Hospital is an integrated healthcare system comprising hospitals, neighborhood health centers, and small doctor offices. XYZ Regional Hospital has recently merged with 4x neighborhood health centers and 125 doctor branch offices. Its wireless, wired access, and AAA solutions are outdated and must be replaced.
XYZ Regional Hospital wants to future-proof and improve efficiency at all sites by enhancing wired and wireless access and moving to centralized, unified wired/wireless and policy management that delivers uninterrupted availability of all systems.
Locations:
XYZ Regional Hospital is located in New York City
Dila Health Center is located in City A
Mount Health Center is located in City B
Rock Health Center is located in City C
Branch clinics are located at different locations across the United States
Requirements:
Provide, through management software, a single pane of glass to manage wired and wireless LANs and VPNs across campus, branch, and remote environments through a web/cloud architecture that provides near-real-time insight, troubleshooting tools, and Service Level performance reporting.
Seamless integration across wired, wireless, WAN, SD-Branch, and IoT
Provide secure wireless access for all Regional Hospital employees and partners, and wireless Internet access for medical citizens when they visit the facilities.
All access points must support these features and specifications: 802.11 ax (Wi-Fi 6E Certified)
Security options including WP2/WPA3 and 802.1X with Radius secure authentication
Identify and authenticate every wireless and wired device
End-to-end role-based security
Seamless mobility across the hospital for medical teams, patients, and visitors
Cut Wi-Fi deployment times from days to hours and enable Zero-Touch deployments across the site

Requirements:
Monitor wireless and wired connections
Provide an end-to-end experience view that identifies points of failure
Proactively troubleshoot issues that affect application performance
What is the correct solution?
A colleague has produced a proposed design for a large enterprise customer that uses HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX 6300 switches at the wired access layer. The customer requires a secure, scalable solution founded on Zero Trust Security (ZTS) principles.
In the current environment, endpoint devices connected to access switches are configured to transmit 802.1Q-tagged frames, and the new design plans to tunnel traffic from the switches to an AOS-10 Gateway cluster by using User-Based Tunneling (UBT) in its default mode.
During a design review, you are asked to determine whether this solution supports the customer requirement to retain endpoint VLAN tags across the tunnel.
You recommend a modification, explaining that the proposed default configuration will not satisfy the customer’s technical requirement.
Which UBT configuration would support the customer requirement to preserve VLAN tagging from the endpoints across the UBT tunnel to the gateway?
