QUESTION 38
What IP protocol number is associated with OSPF?

QUESTION 39
A user reports that they are suddenly unable to access any network resources. A Support Technician suspects the switch port may have been automatically disabled by a security feature.
The technician needs to check if the port has been disabled due to a security violation.
Review the command output:
show port-access clients interface 1/1/8 detail
Port Access Client Status Details
Client Information
Port : 1/1/8
Status : EAP-RADIUS – Blocked by EAPoL frame

Which network design type is best?

QUESTION 41
A Network Operator is segmenting a large flat network into multiple VLANs to reduce the size of the broadcast domain.
Which statement best describes a broadcast domain?

QUESTION 42
A Network Operator is reviewing the routing table of a switch and sees multiple entries for different types of routes.
show ip route
Codes: C – Connected, S – Static, R – RIP, O – OSPF, B – BGP > – Selected route, * – FIB route S > 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 10.100.1.1 O > 192.168.50.0/24 [110/10] via 10.1.1.2 C > 10.1.1.0/24 is directly connected, vlan1 If the switch receives a packet destined for 192.168.50.75, what is the significance of the value
`[110/10]` in the OSPF route entry?

QUESTION 43
A Support Technician is remotely troubleshooting a connectivity issue and needs to verify the full Layer 2 and Layer 3 configuration of a specific port, 1/1/5, on an HPE Aruba Networking CX switch. Which single command provides the most comprehensive output, including VLAN membership, STP status, IP address, and other interface-specific details for this purpose?

QUESTION 44
A Security Analyst is hardening a network and wants to implement filtering rules that block specific types of traffic based on the logical addresses of the source and destination. For example, they want to block all traffic from the 10.0.0.0/8 network.
At which layer of the OSI model do routers and multi-layer switches make forwarding decisions based on this type of logical addressing? (Choose 2.)

QUESTION 45
A Network Technician has been given a list of `show` commands to validate the configuration of a newly installed HPE Aruba Networking CX switch. The technician needs to verify the status of all IP- configured interfaces on the switch, including VLAN interfaces (SVIs) and the out-of-band management port.
The technician wants a single command that produces a table-like output, with one line per interface, showing the interface name, its IP address, and its status. Which of the following validation commands is the best tool for this specific purpose?

QUESTION 46
A Security Analyst is troubleshooting an application issue where data is being corrupted during transmission. The analyst suspects there is no mechanism in place to ensure all data segments are received and reassembled correctly.
Which layer of the OSI model is responsible for providing reliable, connection-oriented data transmission, including error checking and recovery?

QUESTION 47
A Network Technician is troubleshooting a user connectivity issue. The user, connected to port
1/1/20, is unable to get a DHCP address. The technician needs to capture the traffic from the user’s port and analyze it on their laptop, which is connected to port 1/1/48.
* Source Port (Monitored Port): 1/1/20 (User’s PC)
* Destination Port (Analyzing Port): 1/1/48 (Technician’s Laptop)
* Mirroring Session: Use session ID 1.
* Goal: Mirror all traffic (both ingress and egress) from the source to the destination.
Which of the following command sets correctly configures the required port mirroring session?

QUESTION 48
A Network Technician needs to configure a default route on a branch office switch. All traffic that is not destined for a local, directly connected network should be sent to the firewall at IP address
172.16.254.1. Which command correctly configures this static default route?

QUESTION 49
Which of the following is a key feature of weighted fair queuing (WFQ)?

QUESTION 50
A Network Operator is about to perform a major change on a production HPE Aruba Networking CX switch. As a best practice, the operator wants to create a named snapshot of the current running configuration so they can easily revert to it if the change causes problems.
* The operator wants to name the checkpoint `pre-maintenance-window`.
Which pair of commands correctly creates the checkpoint and then validates its existence?

QUESTION 51
How does VSF enhance network resilience?

QUESTION 52
What is the primary purpose of VSF configuration?

QUESTION 53
A Network Technician is configuring an access layer switch (ALS) to connect to a core switch.
The connection uses two physical links that need to be bundled into a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) for increased bandwidth and redundancy. The LAG will function as a VLAN trunk to carry both Staff (VLAN 100) and Guest (VLAN 200) traffic. The technician must also enable RSTP for loop prevention.
Initial State:
* The switch is in its factory default state, connected via the console.
* The physical links are on ports 1/1/47 and 1/1/48.
Required Configuration:
* Create VLAN 100 and VLAN 200.
* Enable Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP).
* Create LAG interface `lag 1`.
* Configure `lag 1` to use LACP (active mode).
* Add ports 1/1/47 and 1/1/48 to `lag 1`.
* Configure `lag 1` as a VLAN trunk, allowing VLANs 100 and 200.
* Enable the physical ports and the LAG interface.
Which configuration set correctly implements all the specified Layer 2 requirements?

QUESTION 54
What are two primary concerns regarding layer two loops in a redundant topology? (Choose two.)

QUESTION 55
Which aspect of Layer 3 analysis involves evaluating the operation and effectiveness of protocols such as RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP in dynamically exchanging routing information and building routing tables?

QUESTION 56
A Solutions Architect is choosing between different switch families in the HPE Aruba Networking portfolio. The primary requirement for an upcoming deployment is support for Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) to stack up to 10 switches into a single logical device for simplified management at the campus aggregation layer.
Which switch series has this specific software and hardware capability?
