Which feature supported by SNMPv3 provides an advantage over SNMPv2c?
Answer: Explanation:
Encryption is a feature supported by SNMPv3 that provides an advantage over SNMPv2c. Encryption protects the confidentiality and integrity of SNMP messages by encrypting them with a secret key.
SNMPv2c does not support encryption and relies on community strings for authentication and authorization, which are transmitted in clear text and can be easily intercepted or spoofed. Transport mapping, community strings, and GetBulk are features that are common to both SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.

Question 2Selectable Answer
A customer is using a legacy application that communicates at layer-2. The customer would like to keep this application working across the campus which is connected via layer-3. The legacy devices are connected to Aruba CX 6300 switches throughout the campus.
Which technology minimizes flooding so the legacy application can work efficiently?
Answer: Explanation:
EVPN-VXLAN is a technology that allows layer-2 communication across layer-3 networks by using Ethernet VPN (EVPN) as a control plane and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) as a data plane3. EVPN-VXLAN can be used to support legacy applications that communicate at layer-2 across different campuses or data centers that are connected via layer-3. EVPN-VXLAN minimizes flooding by using BGP to distribute MAC addresses and IP addresses of hosts across different VXLAN segments3. EVPN-VXLAN also provides benefits such as loop prevention, load balancing, mobility, and scalability3.

Question 3Selectable Answer
You are configuring Policy Based Routing (PBR) for a subnet that will be used to test a new default route for your network Traffic originating from 10.2.250.0/24 should use a new default route to 10.1.1.253. Other non-default routes for this subnet should not be affected by this change.
What are two parts of the solution for these requirements? (Select two.)
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)
Answer: Explanation:
These are the correct parts of the solution for the requirements of configuring Policy Based Routing (PBR) for a subnet that will be used to test a new default route for your network. Option A defines a PBR policy named test-default-route with a rule named new-default-route that matches traffic from source IP address 10.2.250.0/24 and sets the next hop IP address to 10.1.1.253. Option E applies the PBR policy to VLAN 10 interface, which is the subnet that needs to use the new default route. The other options are incorrect because they either do not match the correct traffic or do not set the correct next hop.

Question 4Selectable Answer
In an ArubaOS 10 architecture using an AP and a gateway, what happens when a client attempts to join the network and the WLAN is configured with OWE?
Answer: Explanation:
This is the correct statement about what happens when a client attempts to join the network and the WLAN is configured with OWE (Opportunistic Wireless Encryption). OWE is a standard that provides encryption for open networks without requiring any authentication or credentials from the client or the network. OWE uses a Diffie-Hellman key exchange mechanism to establish a secure session between the client and the AP without exchanging any authentication information. The other options are incorrect because they either describe scenarios that require authentication or encryption methods that are not used by OWE.

Question 5Selectable Answer
Which Aruba AP mode is sending captured RF data to Aruba Central for waterfall plot?
Answer: Explanation:
Spectrum Monitor is an Aruba AP mode that is sending captured RF data to Aruba Central for waterfall plot.
Spectrum Monitor is a mode that allows an AP to scan all channels in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and collect information about the RF environment, such as interference sources, noise floor, channel utilization, etc. The AP then sends this data to Aruba Central, which is a cloud-based network management platform that can display the data in various formats, including waterfall plot. Waterfall plot is a graphical representation of the RF spectrum over time, showing the frequency, amplitude, and duration of RF signals. The other options are incorrect because they are either not AP modes or not sending RF data to Aruba Central.

Question 6Selectable Answer
What is an Aruba-recommended best practice for hardening that only applies to Aruba CX 6300 series switches with dedicated management ports?
Answer: Explanation:
This is an Aruba-recommended best practice for hardening that only applies to Aruba CX 6300 series switches with dedicated management ports. A dedicated management port is a physical port that is used exclusively for out-of-band management access to the switch. A dedicated management VRF is a virtual routing and forwarding instance that isolates the management traffic from other traffic on the switch. By creating a dedicated management VRF and assigning the management port to it, the administrator can enhance the security and performance of the management access to the switch. The other options are incorrect because they either do not apply to switches with dedicated management ports or do not follow Aruba-recommended best practices.

Question 7Selectable Answer
Two AOS-CX switches are configured with VSX at the the Access-Aggregation layer where servers attach to them An SVI interface is configured for VLAN 10 and serves as the default gateway for VLAN 10. The ISL link between the switches fails, but the keepalive interface functions. Active gateway has been configured on the VSX switches.
What is correct about access from the servers to the Core? (Select two.)
Answer: Explanation:
These are the correct statements about access from the servers to the Core when the ISL link between the switches fails, but the keepalive interface functions. Server 1 can access the core layer via both uplinks because it is connected to VSX-A, which is still active for VLAN 10. Server 2 can also access the core layer via its uplink to VSX-B, which is still active for VLAN 10 because of Active Gateway feature. Server 1 and Server 2 can communicate with each other via the core layer because they are in the same VLAN and subnet, and their traffic can be routed through the core switches. The other statements are incorrect because they either describe scenarios that are not possible or not relevant to the question.

Question 8Selectable Answer
A company deployed Dynamic Segmentation with their CX switches and Gateways After performing a security audit on their network, they discovered that the tunnels built between the CX switch and the Aruba Gateway are not encrypted. The company is concerned that bad actors could try to insert spoofed messages on the Gateway to disrupt communications or obtain information about the network.
Which action must the administrator perform to address this situation?
Answer: Explanation:
To address the situation of unencrypted tunnels between the CX switch and the Aruba Gateway, the administrator must enable Enhanced security on both devices. Enhanced security is a feature that provides encryption and authentication for GRE tunnels between CX switches and Aruba Gateways using IPSec.
Enhanced security can be enabled globally or per tunnel on both devices using CLI commands or Web UI options. The other options are incorrect because they either do not provide encryption or authentication for GRE tunnels or do not exist as features.

Question 9Selectable Answer
In AOS 10. which session-based ACL below will only allow ping from any wired station to wireless clients but will not allow ping from wireless clients to wired stations"? The wired host ingress traffic arrives on a trusted port.
Answer: Explanation:
A. ip access-list session pingFromWired any user any permit
This will allow all traffic from any source to wireless clients (user). Not what we want.
B. ip access-list session pingFromWired user any svc-icmp deny any any svc-icmp permit
The first rule denies ICMP (ping) from wireless clients (user) to any destination.
The second rule permits ICMP from any source to any destination. However, since the deny rule is processed first, pings from wireless clients will be blocked.
This option looks correct based on the rules provided.
C. ip access-list session pingFromWired any any svc-icmp permit user any svc-icmp deny
The first rule permits ICMP from any source to any destination. This includes wireless clients pinging wired stations.
The second rule denies ICMP from wireless clients to any destination. However, since it comes after the permit rule, it will never be processed.
This doesn't match the desired behavior.
D. ip access-list session pingFromWired any any svc-icmp deny any user svc-icmp permit
The first rule denies ICMP from any source to any destination. Since this is the first rule, it will block all ICMP traffic.
This option will not allow the desired behavior.
Given the explanations above, the correct answer is:
B. ip access-list session pingFromWired user any svc-icmp deny any any svc-icmp permit
Question 10Selectable Answer
You are doing tests in your lab and with the following equipment specifications
* AP1 has a radio that generates a 10 dBm signal
* AP2 has a radio that generates a 11 dBm signal
* AP1 has an antenna with a gain of 9 dBi
* AP2 has an antenna with a gain of 12 dBi.
* The antenna cable for AP1 has a 2 dB loss
* The antenna cable for AP2 has a 3 dB loss
What would be the calculated Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) for APT?
Answer: Explanation:
EIRP = Transmitter power + Antenna gain - Cable loss
EIRP for AP1 = 10 dBm + 9 dBi - 2 dB = 17 dBm
Question 11Selectable Answer
A customer has a large number of food-producing machines
* All machines are connected via Aruba CX6200 switches in VLANs 100.110. and 120
* Several external technicians are maintaining this special equipment
What are the correct commands to ensure that no rogue DHCP server will impact the network?
A)
B)
C)
D)
Answer: Explanation:
Option A shows the correct commands to ensure that no rogue DHCP server will impact the network.
The commands include the following steps:
* Enable DHCP snooping on the switch. DHCP snooping is a feature that prevents rogue DHCP servers from offering IP addresses to clients by filtering DHCP messages based on trusted and untrusted ports1.
* Configure VLANs 100, 110, and 120 as DHCP snooping VLANs. This means that DHCP snooping will be applied to these VLANs and any untrusted DHCP messages received on these VLANs will be dropped1.
* Configure LAG 1 as a trusted port for DHCP snooping. This means that any DHCP messages received on LAG 1 will be allowed and not filtered by DHCP snooping. LAG 1 is assumed to be connected to a legitimate DHCP server or a router that relays DHCP requests to a legitimate DHCP server1.
Option B is incorrect because it does not enable DHCP snooping on the switch or configure VLANs 100, 110, and 120 as DHCP snooping VLANs. Option C is incorrect because it does not configure LAG 1 as a trusted port for DHCP snooping. Option D is incorrect because it does not enable DHCP snooping on the switch or configure LAG 1 as a trusted port for DHCP snooping.

Question 12Selectable Answer
A system engineer needs to preconfigure several Aruba CX 6300 switches that will be sent to a remote office An untrained local field technician will do the rollout of the switches and the mounting of several AP-515s and AP-575S. Cables running to theAPs are not labeled.
The VLANs are already preconfigured to VLAN 100 (mgmt), VLAN 200 (clients), and VLAN 300 (guests).
What is the correct configuration to ensure that APs will work properly?
A)
B)
C)
Answer: Explanation:
Option C is the correct configuration to ensure that APs will work properly. It uses the ap command to configure a port profile for APs with VLAN 100 as the native VLAN and VLAN 200 and 300 as tagged VLANs. It also enables LLDP on the ports to discover the APs and assign them to the port profile automatically. The other options are incorrect because they either do not use the ap command, do not enable LLDP, or do not configure the VLANs correctly.

Question 13Selectable Answer
What is enabled by LLDP-MED? (Select two.)
Answer: Explanation:
These are two benefits enabled by LLDP-MED (Link Layer Discovery Protocol - Media Endpoint Discovery).
LLDP-MED is an extension of LLDP that provides additional capabilities for network devices such as VoIP phones and APs. One of the capabilities is to automatically configure voice VLANs for VoIP
phones, which allows them to be placed in a separate VLAN from data devices and receive QoS and security policies.
Another capability is to request power as needed from PoE-enabled switch ports, which allows APs to
adjust their power consumption and performance based on the available power budget. The other
options are incorrect because they are either not enabled by LLDP-MED or not related to LLDP-MED.

Question 14Selectable Answer
A network engineer recently identified that a wired device connected to a CX Switch is misbehaving on the network To address this issue, a new ClearPass policy has been put in place to prevent this device from connecting to the network again.
Which steps need to be implemented to allow ClearPass to perform a CoA and change the access for this wired device? (Select two.)
Answer: Explanation:
To allow ClearPass to perform a CoA and change the access for a wired device, the following steps need to be implemented:
* Confirm that NTP is configured on the switch and ClearPass. NTP is required to synchronize the time between the switch and ClearPass, which is essential for CoA messages to be processed correctly1.
* Configure dynamic authorization on the switch. Dynamic authorization is a feature that enables the switch to accept CoA messages from a RADIUS server and apply them to existing sessions2. Dynamic authorization can be enabled globally or per port on the switch2.
* Optionally, configure dynamic authorization on the switchport. This step is not required, but it can provide more granular control over which ports can accept CoA messages from a RADIUS server2. Bouncing the switchport or using Dynamic Segmentation are not necessary steps for allowing ClearPass to perform a CoA and change the access for a wired device.

Question 15Selectable Answer
Describe the difference between Class of Service (CoS) and Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP).
Answer: Explanation:
CoS and DSCP are both methods of marking packets for quality of service (QoS) purposes. QoS is a mechanism that allows network devices to prioritize and differentiate traffic based on certain criteria, such as application type, source, destination, etc. CoS stands for Class of Service and is a 3-bit field in the 802.1Q VLAN tag header. CoS can only be used on Ethernet frames that have a VLAN tag, and it can only be preserved within a single VLAN domain. DSCP stands for Differentiated Services Code Point and is a 6-bit field in the IP header. DSCP can be used on any IP packet, regardless of the underlying layer 2 technology, and it can be preserved throughout the IP packet flow, unless it is modified by intermediate devices.
