Question 1 of 60

Refer to the exhibits.

Exhibit 1. Existing wiring plan:

Exam HPE6-A49: Question 1 - Image 1

Exhibit 2. Current proposal:

Exam HPE6-A49: Question 1 - Image 2

A customer has a building that needs a switch upgrade. The customer would like at least 20Gbps for the uplink bandwidth out of each closet. The building writing plan is shown in Exhibit 1. The customer will not consider any cable upgrades at this point. The current proposal is shown in Exhibit 2.

Which correction must architect make to the proposal to meet the customer requirements?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

The existing wiring plan shows that the connections within each floor use CAT5e cables, which are copper cables. The customer wants at least 20Gbps for the uplink bandwidth, but the current proposal does not seem to account for these copper cables. Option B suggests adding an aggregation layer and connecting the closet switches to this layer using Smart Rate ports, which is a suitable method as Smart Rate ports can support higher speeds over existing copper cabling. Therefore, adding an aggregation layer with Smart Rate ports addresses the requirement without needing cable upgrades.

Question 2 of 60

What is one customer requirement that can drive the need for a relatively dense AP deployment, in which the coverage areas of at least three AP radios overlap?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is D.

Dense AP deployments with overlapping coverage areas are often required for accurate location tracking of wireless IoT devices. This is because precise location tracking typically relies on receiving signals from multiple access points simultaneously to triangulate the position of the devices accurately. The overlapping coverage from at least three AP radios helps to improve the accuracy of the location data.

Question 3 of 60

Refer to the exhibit.

Exam HPE6-A49: Question 3 - Image 1

An architect has planned the wireless and wired access layers for a network upgrade. The entire solution must support 9,000 wireless devices and 2,250 wired endpoints.

The campus core must meet these requirements:

  • no more than 4:1 oversubscription on the links to the data center
  • switch-level redundancy
  • near instant failover if one core switch fails
  • link aggregations between access layer and core
  • same switch software used across the entire campus

Which exhibit shows a campus core that meets the customer needs?

  2. B.Exam HPE6-A49: Question 3 - Image 3
  3. C.Exam HPE6-A49: Question 3 - Image 4
  4. D.Exam HPE6-A49: Question 3 - Image 5
Answer

Suggested Answer

The exhibit needs to display a campus core that meets the requirements of having no more than 4:1 oversubscription on the links to the data center, switch-level redundancy, near instant failover if one core switch fails, link aggregations between access layer and core, and the same switch software used across the entire campus. Both Option A and Option B present the Aruba 5406R zl2 switch, which is known for its redundancy and robust performance, making it a suitable choice for core and access layer integration. The main difference between them is the quantity totals in the line items, but both still align with the specified core requirements. Options C and D are based on the Aruba 8320, which is also a strong switch but the 5406R zl2 is preferred in context due to its established presence in all switching environments. Hence, either exhibit A or B would meet the needs effectively, and the given suggestion of B is reasonable.

Question 4 of 60

A customer has an existing Aruba network, which currently supports up to 9,000 wireless client devices. The existing network includes these components:

  • Four 7210 MCs
  • Five 7030 MCs
  • 200 AP-303HRs
  • 300 AP-345s

The customer wants to convert to an ArubaOS 8.x architecture. The architect plans to deploy a virtual MM.

Which exhibit shows the correct BOM for the MM?

A.

D.

Answer

Suggested Answer

The correct answer is not 'C' as suggested. To support an Aruba network for up to 9,000 wireless client devices with the stated components, it's essential to ensure that the chosen Mobility Master (MM) configuration can handle the scale and requirements. The virtual MM requires appropriate licensing and resources for the APs (500 in total) and client devices. Based on the options provided and the necessary licenses for the transition to ArubaOS 8.x architecture, option 'B' is the most appropriate choice since it includes comprehensive elements like the correct MM-VA-IK mobility master licenses and sufficient licensing for up to 500 APs.

Question 5 of 60

A customer has multiple medium and large branch sites, each of which requires between 8 and 16 APs and supports between 200 and 600 wireless clients. Every branch site has an internet connection, which it uses to reach the central data center. The customer would prefer the WAN links to be optimized in the solution.

Each side handles between 1 and 2 Gbps of traffic, most of which goes to the central data center. The data center has 7210 controllers for terminating the VPN connections.

Which branch office solution best meets the customer needs?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

The best solution for the customer's needs includes CAPs and branch office controllers with an SD-WAN license. This choice addresses the requirement for WAN link optimization, which is critical given each site’s internet connection usage and the volume of traffic heading to the central data center. The branch office controllers with SD-WAN capabilities would optimize the WAN links, improving performance and reliability. This solution also efficiently handles the specified number of APs and wireless clients with the robustness needed for the traffic volume.
