HPE6-A73 Online Practice Questions and Answers

A network administrator needs to replace an antiquated access layer solution with a modular solution involving AOS-CX switches. The administrator wants to leverage virtual switching technologies. The solution needs to support high-availability with dual-control planes.

Which solution should the administrator implement?

A. AOS-CX 8325

B. AOS-CX 6300

C. AOS-CX 6400

D. AOS-CX 8400

A network engineer is setting up BGP on AOS-CX switches. The engineer is establishing two different eBGP peering's to two different service providers. The engineer has dozens of contiguous C-class public networks that need to be advertised to the two service providers. The engineer manually defines the networks to be advertised individually with the "network" command.

How can an administrator advertise only a summarized route to the two service providers?

A. Create a summarized static route and redistribute this into OSPR

B. Summarize the networks with the "aggregate-address" BGP command

C. Enable auto-summarization in the IPv4 address family of the BGP configuration

D. Create a summarized route in OSPF

Examine the network exhibit.

A network administrator is implementing OSPF on a VSX pair of aggregation switches:

Agg1 and Agg2. VLANs 10 and 20 are connected to layer-2 access switches. Agg-1 and Agg-2 are configured as the default gateway for VLANs 10 and 20, with active gateway enabled.

What is the best practice for configuring OSPF on the aggregation switches and their connection to the Core switch?

A. Define a layer-2 VSX LAG associated with a layer-3 VLAN interface. Enable active gateway for the Layer-3 VLAN.

B. Define separate layer-3 VLAN interfaces between the aggregation and core switches. Enable active forwarding for the Layer-3 VLAN.

C. Define separate layer-3 VLAN interfaces between the aggregation and core switches. Enable active gateway for the Layer-3 VLAN.

D. Define a layer-2 VSX LAG associated with a layer-3 VLAN interface. Enable active forwarding for the Layer-3 VLAN.

An administrator of a company has concerns about upgrading the access layer switches.

The users rely heavily on wireless and VoIP telephony. Which is the best recommendation to ensure a short downtime for the users during upgrading the access layer switches?

A. Install the in-service software upgrade (ISSU) feature with clustering enabled

B. Install AOS-CX 6300 or 6400 switches with always-on POE

C. Implement VSF on the AOS-CX access switches

D. Implement VSX on the AOS-CX access switches

Examine the following AOS-CX switch configuration:

Which statement correctly describes what is allowed for traffic entering interface 1/1/3?

A. IP traffic from 10.1.11.0/24 is allowed to access 10.1.110.0/24

B. IP traffic from 10.0.11.0/24 is allowed to access 10.1.12.0/24

C. Traffic from 10.0.12.0/24 will generate a log record when accessing 10.0.11.0/24

D. IP traffic from 10.1.12.0/24 is allowed to access 172.0.1.0/23

A company has recently upgraded their campus switching infrastructure with AOS-CX switches. They have implemented 802.1X authentication on access ports where laptop and IOT devices typically connect. An administrator has noticed that for POE devices, the AOS-CX switch ports are delivering the maximum wattage to the port instead of what the device actually needs.

Concerned about this waste of electricity, what should the administrator implement to solve this problem?

A. Implement a classifier policy with the correct power definitions

B. Create device profiles with the correct power definitions

C. Enable AAA authentication to exempt LLDP and/or CDP information

D. Globally enable the QoS trust setting for LLDP and/or CDP

Examine the attached diagram Two AOS-CX switches are configured for VSX at the access layer, where servers attached to them. An SVI interface is configured for VLAN 10 and serves as the default gateway for VLAN 10. The ISL link between the switches fails, but the keepalive interface functions. Active gateway has been configured on the switches.

What is correct about access from the servers to the Core?

A. Server 2 can successfully access the core layer via the keepalive link.

B. Server 1 and Server 2 can communicate with each other via the core layer.

C. Server 2 cannot access the core layer.

D. Server 1 can access the core layer via both uplinks.

An administrator is supporting a network with the access layer consisting of AOS-CX 6300 and 6400 switches. The administrator needs to quickly deploy Aruba IAPs and security cameras in the network, ensuring that the correct QoS and VLAN settings are dynamically applied to the switch ports. Currently, switches are not configured to do device authentication, and no authentication server exists in the network.

Which AOS-CX feature should the administrator use to dynamically assign the policy settings to the correct switch ports?

A. Device profiles

B. Change of authorization

C. Dynamic segmentation

D. Voice VLANs

What is correct regarding the operation of VSX and multicasting with PIM-SM routing configured?

A. Each VSX peers runs PIM and builds its own group database. One of the VSX peers is elected as the designated router (DR) to forward multicast streams to a receiver VLAN

B. Each VSX peers runs PIM and creates a shared group database. Both VSX peers can forward multicast streams to receivers in a VLAN, achieving load sharing

C. Each VSX peers runs PIM and builds its own group database. Both VSX peers can forward multicast streams to receivers in a VLAN, achieving load sharing

D. Each VSX peers runs PIM and creates a shared group database. One of the VSX peers is elected as the designated router (DR) to forward multicast streams to a receiver VLAN

A company requires access by all users, guests, and employees to be authenticated.

Employees will be authenticated using 802.1X, whereas guests will be authenticated using captive portal.

Which type of authentication must be configured on an AOS-CX switch ports where both guests and employees connect?

A. Both 802.1X and captive portal

B. 802.1X only

C. Both 802.1X and MAC-Auth

D. 802.1X, captive portal, and MAC-Auth
