Question 1
Question Type: MultipleChoice

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.)

Options:
A- The primary vsx switch ts the spanning tree root and the default behavior is the links on the
secondary vsx switch are blocked with sub-millisecond failover assured by vsx active-gateway.
B- When LAG interfaces are configured on a VSX pair of switches, both switches are 'operational
primary' and ensure active-active LAG operation equally.
C- Both VSX switches are configured with the system MAC and then create unique STP bridge-IDs
to identify 'operational primary' and 'operational secondary' for proper STP functioning
D- Aruba VSX switches support either multiple spanning tree (MSTP) or rapid per VLAN spanning
tree (RPVST).
E- The ISL between VSX switches is never part of STP domain and doesn't send or receive BPDUs
on this link and this ensures the 'operational primary' and 'operational secondary' switches are
deterministic to other dual-attached switches.

Answer:
D, E

Explanation:
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.

Question 4
Question Type: MultipleChoice

What are the advantages of using a vSX-pair instead of two discrete switches to connect servers,
storage, firewalls, and other workloads?

Options:
A- The setup is much easier since both switches are sharing the same configuration.
B- You can save hall the number of licenses needed tor AFC.
C- Both members in a VSX-pair can be upgraded without any downtime for the workload.
D- VMWare-Most can be connected with or without using LACP. regardless of their license.

Answer:
C

Explanation:
One of the key advantages of using a Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) pair instead of two
discrete switches for connecting servers, storage, firewalls, and other workloads is that both
members in a VSX pair can be upgraded without any downtime for the workload (Option C). VSX
technology provides advanced high availability features that allow for non-disruptive software
upgrades, meaning that one switch in the VSX pair can be upgraded while the other continues to
handle network traffic, thereby maintaining continuous operation of the connected workloads.
This seamless failover capability ensures that there is no interruption to the critical services
running on the network, making VSX an ideal solution for environments where uptime is
paramount.

 Sample Questions for HP HPE7-A03 Exam By Becker - Page 6

C)

D)

Options:
A- Option A
B- Option B
C- Option C
D- Option D

Answer:
B

Explanation:
Option B is the most cost-effective solution, as it does not include long-range optics, which are
unnecessary given the distances and fiber types specified. The 10GbE-SR optics are suitable for
short-range connections up to 300 meters over OM3 fiber and would cover the needs of the
longest fiber run mentioned, which is 250 meters. The 10GbE-LRM optics, while capable of
reaching up to 220 meters over OM2 fiber, would not be necessary as the longest OM2 run is 71
meters, which is within the range of standard 10GbE-SR optics. Thus, Option B provides the
required connectivity without incurring additional costs for long-range optics that are not needed
given the fiber infrastructure of HQ2.

ACME retail has 38 locations spread out across Ave US states and two provinces in Canad

a. They are looking to grow 20% over the next two years. They have an HO with a staff of 200
employees. The organization has eight Regional Managers and two VPs who work from home and
the road. Stores typically have 17 employees on average per location.
 Sample Questions for HP HPE7-A03 Exam By Becker - Page 7

The two warehouses have a remote loading system and 20 employees each to load the trucks
and fulfill the online orders. The warehouse has 40-foot ceilings and large metal racks to store
inventory. The main location is 240K sq ft (22300 st) m) and the Canadian warehouse Is 130K sq
ft (12100 sq ml. The forkllfts on the loading docks are equipped with a wireless tablet on board.

A typical store Is reportedly about 60.000 sq ft (5575 sqm) and smaller stores are planned at
25.000 sq ft '2320 sq mi. The locations need to expand the abilities to vendors that need to add
setup displays or Interactive kiosks in the stores. The current Infrastructure was installed In 2015
and used wireless N technology in a coverage model. The wiring is CatS. and they are unsure of
the fiber connections. The inventory is all placed on the floor when it is delivered to the local
store.

Inventory control is handled through Zebra barcode scanners, and they have had a lot of issues
in getting signals throughout the stores and this makes monthly inventory difficult. The
organization has a small help desk to troubleshoot issues that happen at the retail locations and
PC support for the office. The company is looking to upgrade away from the current pbx system
later this year. With the need to grow and cut costs, they are interested in moving the data to the
cloud but need to get almost real-time inventory control for the online service to function.

The network has all been wired over the last ten years, but with the new systems being all
wireless, they have seen the trend to offer wireless to all the vendors for their needs but also
would like to allow employees, guests, and contractors all to use it. With the new IT director
starting next week, the project has been set by the CTO of the company. The marketing group
has asked how they can interact with the customers and get more info, while the IT support desk
needs to cut staff in halt.

The. office has an MDF and two IDFs located on floors one and two. The HOF is in the basement,
and you have multiple WAN circuits for the HO links. Each store has a local handoff from the
cable company (ethernet) In the middle of the store in the office, so distance for the wiring is not
an issue.

The customer has budget concerns but does want something that could last 7+ years.

A global cruise line company needs to refresh its current fleet. They win refresh the insides' of
the ship to be cost-effective and increase their sustain ability. They Mill replace the complete
WLAN/LAN hardware of the ship. In this refresh, the company will not refresh Us current security
requirements. The CIO also wants to limit the number of unused ports in the switches. Future
expansion will always mean a refresh of hardware. They start with the smallest ship with a
maximum of 800 guests

Each ship has a LAN infrastructure consisting of two core switches, up to 10 redundant
distribution switches, and up to 500 access switches (400 cabins. 100 technical rooms). The Core
switches are located in the MDF of the ship and the distribution switches are located in the IDFs
of the ship. Each cabin and technical room gets one single access switch.

The cabling structure of the ship will not be refreshed. Each IDF is connected to the MDF by SMF.
of which two pairs are available for the interconnect between the core and distribution. The
length of SM fiber between MDF and IDF is less than 300 meters (930 ft) and the type used is
0S1. Each cabin is connected by a single 0M2 pair to the IDF. the maximum length is 60 meters
(200 ft). Each technical room is connected by a single 0M2 pail to the IDF. with lengths between
100 and 150 meters (320 and 500 ft).

For each cabin/technical room the customer is looking to replace their current fan-less 2530/2540
without changing the requirements, except they need to upgrade the uplink to distribution switch
to 10GbEto handle the increased network traffic, and the technical rooms need redundant power.
 Sample Questions for HP HPE7-A03 Exam By Becker - Page 9

The WLAN infrastructure will be 1:1 refreshed without new cabling or new AP locations. Their
WLAN Infrastructure is based on the 200/300 series Indoor and outdoor APs running instantOS
(less than 300 APs). the customer has no change in WLAN requirements.

The cruise line company will replace its current Internet connection before the LAN/WLAN refresh.
The new Internet connection will provide a 99.8% uptime, which is needed to ensure the paid
guest Wi-Fi is always operational. With this new internet connection, the CIO of the cruise line
wants to base the design on the ESP architecture from Aruba because Internet connection is
guaranteed.

Based on the best practices and customer requirements, what is the correct LAN approach?

Options:
A- management VLAN in the overlay, user VLANs in the underlay
B- management and user VLANs in the overlay
C- management and user VLANs in the underlay
D- management VLAN in the underlay, user VLANs in the overlay

Answer:
D

Explanation:
In the context of the ESP architecture from Aruba and the specific requirements of the cruise line
company, the best practice would be to place management VLANs in the underlay and user
VLANs in the overlay. This design allows for a clear separation of management traffic from user
data, enhancing security and network performance. The management underlay ensures secure
and reliable access to network infrastructure for administrative purposes, while the user overlay
allows for flexible and dynamic segmentation of user traffic. This approach is aligned with best
practices for network design, where critical management traffic is isolated from user data to
prevent unauthorized access and potential security breaches. It also supports the cruise line's
need for a robust and secure network to ensure the operational reliability of paid guest Wi-Fi and
other critical services.

Which alternative source is best suited for site surveys or simul-ations if no floor plans are
available?

Options:
A- blank sheet of paper
B- Google Maps
C- simple wall drawings
D- tire escape plan

Answer:
D

Explanation:
When floor plans are not available for site surveys or simulations, the best alternative source to
use is the fire escape plan (Option D). Fire escape plans are typically available in most buildings
and provide a simplified layout of the premises, including walls, doors, and sometimes the
location of permanent fixtures. While not as detailed as architectural floor plans, fire escape
plans can offer enough information for initial site survey estimations and RF planning. They allow
network designers to understand the basic layout and potential RF obstacles or coverage areas,
making them a practical tool for preliminary wireless network planning and simulations in the
absence of more detailed floor plans.
