Which of the statements below accurately describe spanning tree protocols? (Select three.). They mitigate layer 2 loops, broadcast storms, and multiple frame copies. Switches elect a root bridge, from which the spanning tree emanates. All switch ports forward traffic, to improve resiliency. When a link failure occurs, switches converge on a new topology.

Match the descriptions to the correct STP version (802.1D STP, 802.1w RSTP, and 802.1s MSTP). You map certain VLANs to a particular STP instance. Default operation between AOS-CX switches. Default mode for AOS-CX switches. Improved convergence for older versions. Slow convergence. Not recommended.

See Figure 4-45. Assuming default settings and normal operation, which interface will switch Access-1 use as its root port, and why does it choose that interface? Figure 4-45: Question 3. Port 1/1/1, because it is directly connected to the root. Port 1/1/1, because it has a lower port number. Port 1/1/2, because it has a higher port number. Port 1/1/2, because it has a lower cost.

Your colleague is confused about why a certain switch in your network was elected as the root switch. Which of the statements below would help your colleague understand this aspect of spanning-tree protocols? (Select two.). Root switch election is based on the lowest bridge ID (BID) and the highest priority. Root switch election is based on the lowest bridge ID (BID), which you can override by configuring a priority value on your preferred root switch. The bridge ID (BID) is derived from an IP address on the device. It is a best practice to manually configure a priority value on both your preferred root switch and backup root switch.

Which statements below are true about the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)? (Select two.). It provides better first-hop redundancy as compared to configuring hosts with two default gateways (DGs). With VRRP, two routing devices actively forward traffic. You can define VRRP instances to improve load-sharing for VRRP deployments.

Which statements below provide accurate comparisons of Aruba’s Virtual Switching eXtension (VSX) versus Aruba’s Virtual Switching Framework (VSF)? (Select three.). Both solutions allow multiple devices to be perceived as a single device. You typically run VSX on aggregation and core switches. VSF can be easier to configure. Like VSF, VSX maintains separate control and management planes.

Which of the following statements accurately describe Aruba’s Virtual Switch Framework (VSF)? (Select four.). VSF defines a virtual switch, composed of individual switches interconnected via a proprietary backplane link. You can configure a maximum of 10 members in a VSF stack. VSF primary and secondary roles can perform the conductor role, but a VSF member cannot. VSF conductor and standby maintain synchronized state and configuration data by leveraging an Open Virtual Switch Database (OVSDB). VSF supports daisy chain, ring, and full-mesh topologies. You can leverage VSF pre-provisioning to facilitate adding new members to a VSF stack.

Which VSF feature provides a mechanism to automatically form a stack?. VSF pre-provisioning. VSF priority configuration. VSF LAG. Auto-VSF.

VSF Multi-Active Detection (MAD) mitigates a split-brain condition by shutting down all ports of all members in a nonprimary fragment. True. False.

Which of the options below are the main aspects of Aruba’s Edge Services Platform (ESP) architecture? (Select all that apply.). Artificial Intelligence Operations (AIOps). Zero Trust Security (ZTP). Aruba Central. Unified infrastructure.

Which AOS-CX switch models offer network automation features like the Network Analytics Engine (NAE) to examine trends and predict problems?. Only the chassis-based AOS-CX switches. All CX 6300 series switches and above. All AOS-CX switches. All AOS-CX switches except the ruggedized CX4100i.

Which Aruba feature solves the challenge of tedious switch port configurations and securing devices that lack support for 802.1X/EAP authentication?. IPsec tunneling. Dynamic segmentation. Analytics dashboard. Third-party integration.

Which Aruba Access Points (APs) support three RF bands: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz?. All Aruba APs. All 500 and 600 series APs. All APs but the older 300 series and hospitality APs. Only the 600 series APs. No Aruba APs support all three bands.

Which statements below accurately describe Aruba gateways? (Select two.). They can simplify network design by acting as a tunnel termination point for Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels. They are key components of both SD-WAN solutions and many Wi-Fi solutions. They are required components of all AOS-CX validated design deployments. Running Aruba APs and gateways with AOS 10 enables you to manage WLANs from Aruba Central.

Aruba Central enables you to manage APs, switches, and gateways at all locations from a single portal, supported only as a cloud-based solution. True. False.

Aruba ClearPass is an authentication server that handles all network access control (NAC) functions, with extensive thirdparty integration features. True. False.

Choose the statements below that accurately describe Aruba Central device onboarding. (Select three.). Zero touch provisioning (ZTP) is an onboarding method that relies on the cloud-based Aruba Activate service. Manually adding devices to Aruba Central is often considered the easiest method, because it does not rely on other services. You first onboard devices to HPE GreenLake, and then assign them to the Aruba Central app. Before a customer can configure and monitor devices in Aruba Central, those devices must be onboarded.

Your manager asks you about Aruba Central licensing. Which of the options below would help your manager understand this aspect of your deployment? (Select five.). Foundation keys are available for gateways, APs, and switches. Licenses are available in 2-year increments. You need one license per managed device. You can purchase additional Advanced licenses to add functionality and features. You must add subscription keys to Aruba Central, and then assign them to network devices. The auto-subscribe feature allows you to assign licenses to all new devices automatically.

Which of the options below offer true comparisons of Aruba Central Groups vs Aruba Central Sites? (Select three.). Both can help ease monitor, filter, and report functions. Devices can only belong to one site, but can belong to multiple groups. Groups come in two types: a UI group and a template group. Only groups include a device persona, which represents the device’s role in the network.

Match the task involved in group management with the order in which you should perform that task (Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3). Create the group. Define the group persona. Add devices to the group.

Labels help you filter devices for Aruba Central monitor, manage, and report purposes. You can assign multiple labels to a single device. True. False.

What statements below are true concerning device profiling? (Select two.). Profiling and endpoint classification allows the network infrastructure to adjust settings and security policies dynamically, based on device types. You can use profiling with device provisioning, so when a device connects, switches are automatically configured with the correct VLAN, PoE priority, security policies, and more. End systems can only be profiled based on LLDP information. A switch knows which role to assign to a port when a connected device matches a device group that you define.

AOS 8 supports Instant APs (IAPs), while AOS 10 does not. However, AOS 10 simplifies the network architecture, because the Mobility Conductor features are now in Aruba Central. True. False.
