HP Aruba Certified Switching Professional Sample Questions:
Refer to the exhibit.
A company has IP phones that are LLDP-MED capable. The exhibit shows the configuration for the VLAN to which IP phones belong, as well as the configuration for ports to which phones will connect. AOS-Switches at the access layer are set up to use LLDP-MED. The administrator wants to automatically provision the phones to send traffic with the right VLAN tag and priority.
Which additional configuration step must the administrator complete?
- A. Enable LMA and configure the proper LMA profiles
- B. Specify LLDP-MED as the global LLDP mode
- C. Specify the voice setting in VLAN 3
- D. Enable 802.1X and MAC-based VLANs on the ports
Correct Answer: C 🗳️
Refer to the exhibit.
Both Switch-1 and Switch-2 redistribute RIP routes into OSPF. The network administrator wants routers in Area 1 to receive the redistributed routes from Switch-1 but not from Switch-2. Routers in other areas should receive the routes from Switch-2.
What should the administrator do to achieve this goal?
- A. Configure Area 1 as a stub area, with no summaries on Switch-2.
- B. Configure a subnet range for Area 1 on Switch-2, and set the no-advertise option.
- C. Configure Area 1 as a Not So Stubby Area (NSSA) on all routing devices in Area 1.
- D. Configure Area 1 as a stub area, and import the routes with a low metric on Switch-2.
Correct Answer: C 🗳️
Refer to the exhibits.
Exhibit 1
Exhibit 2
A company does not require authentication for security, but AOS-Switches are set up to use local MAC authentication (LMA) to assign the correct VLAN and priority to IP phones. IP phones and computers belong to different VLANs. Each device is supposed to connect to a specific port, but sometimes users connect their devices to the wrong ports and cannot receive access without help from IT.
How can a network administrator configure the switches to eliminate this issue?
- A. Create a user role that applies the user VLAN, and set this role as the initial role.
- B. Add the MAC addresses for computers to the myPhones MAC group.
- C. Apply LMA to all edge switch ports, and set the unauth VLAN to the user VLAN.
- D. Set the address limit to 2 on the switch ports that apply LMA.
Correct Answer: C 🗳️
Explanation: Only visible for DumpStillValid members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).
Two AOS-Switches are directly interconnected. The network administrator wants to prevent broadcast storms and other Layer 2 issues that could occur if there is physical damage to a cable.
Which technology should the administrator implement on the connected switch interfaces?
- A. Spanning Tree Root Guard
- B. Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD)
- C. Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
- D. MAC Lockdown
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
A company starts to have issues with too many rules in the dynamic ACLs applied to AOS-Switch ports.
Administrators decide to remove some of the common rules from the dynamic ACLs and enforce them in an ACL applied to the users' VLAN instead.
What is one rule that administrators should keep in mind to ensure that the new ACLs control traffic as they expect?
- A. Traffic must be permitted by both the dynamic ACL and the VLAN ACL in order to be permitted.
- B. ACLs applied to VLANs cannot control ICMP traffic, do the dynamic ACLs must include the ICMP rules.
- C. Administrators should add an explicit deny at the end of the dynamic ACLs, so traffic will hit VLAN ACL.
- D. If a port supports multiple clients, every dynamic ACL applied to one client filters traffic for all clients.
