HPE7-A03 Aruba Certified Campus Access Architect Exam Practice Test
Question 1
What possible issue with the cote switch selection do you see in regards to the customers' requirements?
Answer : A
In the scenario described, the most significant issue with the core switch selection, according to Aruba Campus Access learning resources, is answer A: 'The core switch will not support the 25GbE downlinks to the distribution switches.' This is a critical consideration because the bandwidth capabilities between the core and distribution layers significantly impact the overall network performance and scalability. If the core switch cannot support 25GbE downlinks, it may create a bottleneck, preventing the distribution switches from operating at their full capacity and affecting the performance of connected devices and applications. Ensuring the core switch has the necessary port speeds and densities to support the intended design and traffic patterns is crucial in network design, as emphasized in Aruba's documentation on campus network architectures.
Question 2
You are responding to the customer's RFP and are at the point of documenting design decisions that were not specified in the RFP or the RFP questions. What are valid examples of assumptions made that should be presented to the customer during the response? (Select three >
Answer : A, D, E
In the context of responding to an RFP (Request for Proposal), it is common to make certain assumptions about the project environment when specific details are not provided. Answer A is valid because assuming the customer has technically capable staff is essential for the successful implementation of the proposed equipment; if this is not the case, additional training or services may be needed. Answer D is a reasonable assumption as well, given that physical space and power are fundamental requirements for installing new hardware; however, this should be clarified to avoid potential issues during deployment. Answer E is also a valid assumption, especially in modern network environments where management and orchestration systems often reside on virtual machines; assuming there are adequate resources for these systems is critical for the overall solution but should be verified with the customer. These assumptions are important to present to the customer to ensure there are no misunderstandings or gaps in the project planning phase, as highlighted in Aruba Campus Access documentation.
Question 3
You are delivering a replacement collapsed core network proposal to the customer where the core switches will have the switched virtual interlaces (SVl) configured. The customer is not sure that a USX pair of switches will Be able to act as I tie spanning tree root in their environment.
Which options are true about spanning tiee and VSX that will help assure the customer that a VSX pair of switches are appropriate for a collapsed core? (Select two.)
Answer : D, E
According to Aruba Campus Access documents and learning resources, Aruba VSX (Virtual Switching Extension) technology is designed to provide advanced high availability and redundancy features for campus networks. Specifically, answer D is correct because Aruba VSX supports both Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) and Rapid Per VLAN Spanning Tree (RPVST), ensuring efficient tree structures for VLANs and rapid convergence in case of topology changes. Answer E is also true as the Inter-Switch Link (ISL) used for the VSX pair is not part of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) domain, meaning it does not send or receive Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs). This design prevents the ISL from influencing STP calculations, ensuring that the operational roles of the primary and secondary switches in the VSX pair are clear and predictable to the rest of the network. This separation helps maintain deterministic behavior and failover capabilities in the network, aligning with the goals of a collapsed core network design.

The IT director of XYZ Regional Hospital is interested in a solution tor nurse workstation tracking. What solution would meet the customer's requirements? (Select three.)
Answer : A, D, F
For nurse workstation tracking, Aruba User Experience Insight can provide insights into how applications and network services are performing, which can help in understanding user experiences across the hospital network. The Asset Tracking Subscription is a crucial component for keeping track of physical assets such as nurse workstations. The Map Subscription would complement the asset tracking by providing detailed maps of the hospital's interior, enabling precise location tracking of the workstations. These solutions together would allow the hospital to effectively track and manage their resources, ensuring that nurses can find workstations quickly and efficiently, which is essential in a fast-paced medical environment.

Option B in the provided selections outlines a configuration that includes an Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager as a Publisher for the main DC and as a Standby Publisher for the DR, with subscriber servers allocated to the main hospital and health centers. This setup is likely to match the requirement for a fully redundant NAC solution, with local handling of authentication for the main hospital and health centers, and centralized authentication for the clinics. The inclusion of VMs (Virtual Machines) as subscribers for health centers suggests scalability and flexibility for future expansion. The provision of 35k access licenses aligns with the support for 35k devices across all locations.
Question 6
A large multinational financial institution has contracted you to design a new full-stack wired and wireless network for their new 6-story regional office building. The bottom two floors of this facility will be retail space for a large banking branch. The upper floors will be carpeted office space for corporate users, each floor being approximately 100.000 sq ft (9290 sqm). Data centers are all off site and will be out of scope for this project. The customer is underserved by its existing L2-based network infrastructure and would like to take advantage of modern best practices in the new design. The network should be fully resilient and fault-tolerant, with dynamic segmentation at the edge.
The retail space will include public guest Wi-Fi access. Retail associates will have corporate tablets for customer service, and there will be a mix of wired and wireless devices throughout the retail floors. The corporate users will primarily use wireless for connectivity, but several wired clients, printers, and hard VoIP phones will be in use.
The customer is also planning on renovating the corporate office space in order to take advantage of "smart office' technology. These improvements will drive blue-dot wayfinding. presence analytics, and other location-based services
The client decides that they would like for all of their exposed printer, conference room, and VoIP phone
connections to be controlled by a stateful firewall
What could be planned to ensure that these ports will meet the customer's requirements?
Answer : A
To control exposed printer, conference room, and VoIP phone connections with a stateful firewall, utilizing Tunneled Node functionality would be effective. Tunneled Node allows for the encapsulation of wired Ethernet traffic into a user-based tunnel, similar to how wireless traffic is handled. This means that traffic from these devices can be sent through a centralized controller where stateful firewall policies can be applied. This setup ensures that the specific ports used by these devices are subjected to the same level of security scrutiny and policy enforcement as wireless traffic, aligning with the client's requirements for a secure and controlled network environment.

The client decided that wired headless devices would be authenticated using Mac Authentication and would have RADIUS attributes sent back to the NAD to assign VLAN and port access parameters to the authentication session on the switch port.
What would be critical in making this a successful deployment? {Select two.)
Answer : C, D
For a successful deployment of MAC Authentication with RADIUS attributes for VLAN and port access parameters, ClearPass is critical. ClearPass Policy Manager offers advanced network access control, policy management, and is capable of handling MAC Authentication effectively. It can communicate with the Network Access Devices (NADs) to apply the correct access policies based on RADIUS attributes received during the authentication process. DHCP is also crucial in this setup for dynamically assigning IP addresses to authenticated devices, ensuring that they can connect to the network with the appropriate network settings. Together, ClearPass and DHCP services form the backbone of a secure, manageable, and dynamically segmented network infrastructure, ensuring devices are authenticated and receive the correct network configuration.
