HPE Network Campus Access Professional Architect - HPE7-A11 Exam Practice Test

The customer recently found out that Aruba OS-CX switches are capable of Application Recognition. What requirements should be fulfilled in order to do this? (Choose two.)

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 guest 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.
Based on HPE Aruba Networking best practices and the customer's stated requirements, which segmentation design approach is appropriate for this environment?

A German 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 (Ship One) with a maximum of 350 guests.
Ship One has a LAN infrastructure consisting of two core switches, eight redundant distribution switches, and two hundred access switches (175 cabins and 25 technical rooms).
The Core switches are located in the MDF of the ship, the distribution switches are located in the IDFs (eight in total) of the ship. Each cabin and technical room gets one single access switch.
The structured cabling of the ship will not be refreshed. Each IDF is connected to the MDF by SMF pairs. Each cabin is connected by a single MMF pair to the IDF. Each technical room is connected by a single MMF pair to the IDF.
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.
The WLAN infrastructure will be 1:1 refreshed without new cabling or new AP locations. Their WLAN infrastructure is based on the 200 series indoor and outdoor APs running InstantOS (total of 195 APs), the customer has no change in WLAN requirements.
Your team member (out on parental leave) has started with the proposed solution listed below.
Core switch: one VSX stack of two 8325-48Y8C switches
Distribution switch: one VSF stack of two 6300F 24-port SFP+ and 4-port SFP56 switches per IDF Cabin switch: one 6200F 12G Class4 PoE 2G/2SFP+ per cabin Technical room switch: one 6200F 12G Class4 PoE 2G/2SFP+ per technical room Indoor Cabin APs: AP-505H (88 total) Indoor standard APs: AP-535 (82 total) Outdoor APs: AP-565 (25 total) What possible issue with the core switch selection do you see in regards to the customer's requirements?

'Don't Buy at Us' is a US-based retail company that is expanding into Europe. They are expanding into EMEA with a regional headquarters called HQ2 inside The Netherlands. Their US- based headquarters HQ1 was refreshed last year based on the HPE Aruba Networking ESP architecture. You have created the design for HQ2 based on the same design as HQ1, a two-tier architecture. The high level is shown below.

Switch BOM for this project based on Two Tier:
Collapsed Core: 2 x Aruba 8360-16Y2C in VSX (ISL 2x100GbE DAC)
Access Stack: 10 x Stack of 6200F 48G Class4 PoE 4SFP+ 740W (each stack has 4 members, VSF with 10GbE VSF links) (2 x 10GbE uplink per stack) During the presentation of your design to the CTO of "Don't Buy at Us" you were informed about the changes they want you to incorporate into the updated design:
1. HQ2 will include the EMEA regional distribution center (EMEA-DISTR) next to the HQ2.
2. Only two pairs of OS1 are available between HQ2 and EMEA-DlSTR.
3. The uplinks from all access stacks need to increase to 2 x 25GbE, the fiber in HQ2 and EMEA- DISTRI is certified for 25GbE.
4. EMEA-DlSTR needs at least 7 x stack of Aruba 48 ports switches (each stack has 4 members).
Which answer based on best practice is presenting the correct Switch BOM tor the updated design?

Which is true when it comes to HPE Aruba Networking Central licensing for gateways?

ACME retail has 38 locations spread out across five US states and two provinces in Canada.
They are looking to grow 20% over the next two years. They have an HQ 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 sq m) and the Canadian warehouse is 130K sq ft (12100 sq m). The forklifts on the loading docks are equipped with a wireless tablet on board.
A typical store is reportedly about 60,000 sq ft (5575 sq m) and smaller stores are planned at
25,000 sq ft (2320 sq m). 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 Cat5, 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 a small 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 be 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 half.
The office has an MDF and two IDFs located on floors one and two. The MDF is in the basement, and you have multiple WAN circuits for the HQ 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? (Choose two.)
