HPE6-A47 Exam - Question 51


Refer to the exhibit.

An architect needs to plan a network solution for a new office building with four floors. Each floor has two wiring closets with the equipment shown in the exhibit.

The switches will connect to employee desktops, a few campus APs controlled by MCs, and printers. The switches do not implement tunneled node.

What is a best practice design for the VLANs and subnets for the wired devices?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

To best design the VLANs and subnets for the office building, a best practice is to assign one VLAN per wiring closet and a /24 subnet for each VLAN. This approach allows for better traffic management and ensures that each VLAN has sufficient address space to accommodate the devices in a closet. By defining a /24 subnet for each VLAN, you provide up to 254 usable IP addresses per subnet, which is adequate for typical wiring closet deployments, including employee desktops, APs, and printers. Additionally, this setup simplifies network management and troubleshooting.

It is A. The traditional guideline limits a wired VLAN to a /24 subnet, which provides enough IP addresses for 253 endpoints. You might have suggested one of three approaches: one VLAN per floor, one VLAN per building, or one VLAN per campus. The one VLAN per floor approach is not recommended because it interferes with roaming and adds complexity. If you did take this approach, the /24 subnets are not large enough for the requirements on every floor. You would need to ask for /23 subnets. The one VLAN per building approach would work if you considered each building its own RF domain. It provides roaming within a building and, if you are using a single cluster at the data center, between buildings. If you deployed two MCs or clusters, one at each building, though, GRE tunneling would be required to support roaming between buildings.
