Question 1 of 168

You are planning a 10 Gbps link between two CX switches. Which type of

SFP port will be required?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

SFP+ ports are designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections and support 10 Gbps optical or direct-attach copper transceivers between CX switches. Standard SFP ports are generally used for lower-speed links such as 1 Gbps. SFP28 is associated with 25 Gbps operation, while QSFP+ is typically used for 40 Gbps links.

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answers: A, C

The sampling rate of 1024 means sFlow samples approximately one out of every 1024 data bytes or packets represented by the traffic stream. The polling interval of 30 specifies that interface counter information is collected every 30 seconds. Sampling and polling are separate functions: 1024 is not a time interval, and 30 is not the number of bytes sampled.

Question 3 of 168

Refer to the output:

Exam HPE7-A08: Image 1

Which CLI command was used to produce this output?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

The checkpoint diff command compares the active running configuration against a specified stored checkpoint and displays the differences in unified diff format. Lines beginning with plus signs indicate configuration added to the running configuration, while minus signs indicate configuration removed or changed relative to the checkpoint. The output’s version changes, interface modifications, VLAN settings, and added services reflect this running-versus-checkpoint comparison. The show checkpoint commands display checkpoint information rather than initiating this diff operation.

Question 4 of 168

DRAG DROP -

Company A has an existing HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325 VSX. It has acquired Company B and must merge its networks onto the same VSX switch configuration as Company A. Both Company A and Company B share the same 10.100.100.1/24 subnet.

What is the correct order for creating a configuration allowing overlapping networks in the setup?

Question 5 of 168

Your customer is concerned about users connecting unmanaged switches to the network and causing outages. Which CX switch feature should you recommend?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

BPDU Guard protects access ports from unintended switch connections by monitoring for incoming Bridge Protocol Data Units. If an unmanaged switch is connected and begins sending BPDUs, the CX switch places the port into a protected state, preventing it from participating in Spanning Tree and potentially creating a loop. This is appropriate for user-facing edge ports, where BPDUs should not normally be received. Port security limits MAC addresses but does not specifically detect switching loops.

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this one felt worth sharing. The questions were quite close to what actually appeared on the exam, more than I expected. I spent about a week going through the material before my test, and it helped me feel more prepared.
