HP HPE7-A11 : HPE Network Campus Access Professional Architect Exam

'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 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 updated fiber infrastructure that Don't Buy at Us' has installed in HQ2.

The core stack is Installed in the MDF and per IDF there is one access stack installed. Based on best practice, what is the most cost-effective update to the switch BOM?

• A.
  
• B.
  
• C.
  
• D.
  

Drag and Drop Question
Match the deployment mode to the description.

Manufacturing A.B.C. is an international, mid-sized company specializing in producing industrial equipment. They have been in the market for over two decades and have established themselves as a reputable player in their industry. However, due to rapid technological advancements, their current network infrastructure is outdated and struggling to keep up with the demands of modern manufacturing processes.
Manufacturing A.B.C.'s network is a mix of multi-vendor legacy wired and wireless components, causing frequent downtime and hampering their production efficiency. The aging equipment leads to slow data transfer rates, unreliable connectivity, and increased vulnerability to cyber threats.
Fiber Cabling should be also upgraded as mostly OM2 is being used.
Compounding the network issues, the recent departure of the CTO has left the company without a clear direction for the network refresh project. There is a lack of consensus among the management team regarding the scope, budget, and timeline for the upgrade.
The primary objectives of the manufacturing customer are as follows:
- Improve network performance and reliability to enhance production processes and minimize downtime
- Enhance network security to protect sensitive data and intellectual property
- Streamline communication and collaboration among different departments within the organization
- Ensure scalability to accommodate future growth and technology advancements Manufacturing A.B.C. seeks a comprehensive network refresh that includes the following components:
- Upgrading the wired infrastructure to high-speed Ethernet switches to support increased data transfer rates and reduce latency
- Implementing a robust wireless solution with enterprise-grade access points to provide seamless connectivity across the manufacturing facility
- Centralized network management tools to simplify administration and monitoring of the network Expectations:
The customer expects the network refresh project to be handled efficiently, with minimal disruption to their ongoing operations. They are looking for a reliable and experienced network solutions provider who can understand their unique manufacturing requirements and deliver a customized solution that aligns with their budget constraints. The manufacturing customer is keen on receiving clear project proposals and support in decision-making, given the recent change of the CTO.
Your role as a network solutions provider is to address their concerns, offer expert guidance, and present a well-defined plan to meet their objectives effectively.
You assume that the current network infrastructure does not have any wireless shadow IT equipment operated on the various floors/production sites, but you want to verify this. How could you find out if wireless shadow IT equipment is currently operational?

• A. Do a passive site survey, analyze the outcome together with the customer, and decommission this equipment wherever possible.
• B. Do a ping sweep and document the hostnames/responses. Find out the connected switch port and walk to this location.
• C. Use a wireless sniffer like Wireshark to scan the environment and look for anomalies.
• D. Ask employees if they use 3rd party equipment to create isolated Hotspots.

Hotspot Question
Based on this campus design, which layer is the most appropriate to be designed as a Border Persona, considering an EVPN VXLAN Fabric?

The current IT staff is used to working with legacy OS-S (ProCurve) equipment. They are worried that they cannot handle OS-CX switches due to the different command syntax.
What are two ways to make the transition easier for them? (Select two.)

• A. CLI Bank
• B. create aliases
• C. ASP
• D. CLI Reference Guide for OS-CX, OS-Switch, Comware and Cisco IOS
