NEW QUESTION # 52
Which feature supported by SNMPv3 provides an advantage over SNMPv2c?
- A. Transport mapping
- B. GetBulk
- C. Community strings
- D. Encryption
Answer: D
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.

NEW QUESTION # 53
You need to create a keepalive network between two Aruba CX 8325 switches for VSX configuration How should you establish the keepalive connection?
- A. routed port in custom VRF
- B. SVI, VLAN trunk allowed all on ISL in default VRF
- C. SVI, VLAN trunk allowed all on ISL in custom VRF
- D. loopback 0 and OSPF area 0 in default VRF
Answer: A
Explanation:
To establish a keepalive connection between two Aruba CX 8325 switches for VSX configuration, you need to use a routed port in custom VRF. A routed port is a physical port that acts as a layer
3 interface and does not belong to any VLAN. A custom VRF is a virtual routing and forwarding instance that provides logical separation of routing tables. By using a routed port in custom VRF, you can isolate the keepalive traffic from other traffic and prevent routing loops or conflicts. The other options are incorrect because they either do not use a routed port or do not use a custom VRF.
NEW QUESTION # 54
Review the exhibit.
You are troubleshooting an issue with a 10 102.39 0/24 subnet which is also VLAN 1000 used Tor wireless clients on a pair of Aruba CX 8360 switches The subnet SVI is configured on the 8360 pair, and the DHCP server is a Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Standard with an IP address of 10 200 1.100. The 10.102.250.0/24 subnet is used for switch management.
A large number of DHCP requests are failing You are observing sporadic DHCP behavior across clients attached to the CX 6100 switch.
Which action may help fix the issue?
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Option C is the only action that configures the DHCP relay on the SVI of VLAN 1000 on the CX 8360 switches. DHCP relay is a feature that allows a switch to forward DHCP requests from clients in one subnet to a DHCP server in another subnet. DHCP relay is required when the DHCP server and the clients are not in the same broadcast domain1.
Option C uses the following commands:
interface vlan 1000: This command enters the interface configuration mode for the SVI of VLAN 1000, which has an IP address of 10.102.39.1/24 and is used for wireless clients.
ip helper-address vrf default 10.200.1.100: This command configures the IP address of the DHCP server as a helper address for the SVI, which means that the switch will forward DHCP requests from clients on VLAN 1000 to this address. The vrf default parameter indicates that the SVI and the DHCP server are in the same VRF.
NEW QUESTION # 55
When setting up an Aruba CX VSX pair, which information does the Inter-Switch Link Protocol configuration use in the configuration created?
- A. RPVST+
- B. QSVI
- C. MAC tables
- D. UDLD
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The information that the Inter-Switch Link Protocol configuration uses in the configuration created is B. MAC tables.
The Inter-Switch Link Protocol (ISL) is a protocol that enables the synchronization of data and state information between two VSX peer switches. The ISL uses a version control mechanism and provides backward compatibility regarding VSX synchronization capabilities. The ISL can span long distances (transceiver dependent) and supports different speeds, such as 10G, 25G, 40G, or 100G1.
One of the data components that the ISL synchronizes is the MAC table, which is a database that stores the MAC addresses of the devices connected to the switch and the corresponding ports or VLANs. The ISL ensures that both VSX peers have the same MAC table entries and can forward traffic to the correct destination2. The ISL also synchronizes other data components, such as ARP table, LACP states for VSX LAGs, and MSTP states2.
NEW QUESTION # 56
A company recently deployed new Aruba Access Points at different branch offices Wireless
802.1X authentication will be against a RADIUS server in the cloud. The security team is concerned that the traffic between the AP and the RADIUS server will be exposed..
What is the appropriate solution for this scenario?
- A. Configure RadSec on the AP and Aruba Central.
- B. Configure RadSec on the AP and the RADIUS server
- C. Enable EAP-TLS on all wireless devices
- D. Enable EAP-TTLS on all wireless devices.
Answer: B
Explanation:
This is the appropriate solution for this scenario where wireless 802.1X authentication will be against a RADIUS server in the cloud and the security team is concerned that the traffic between the AP and the RADIUS server will be exposed. RadSec, also known as RADIUS over TLS, is a protocol that provides encryption and authentication for RADIUS traffic over TCP and TLS.
RadSec can be configured on both the AP and the RADIUS server to establish a secure tunnel for exchanging RADIUS packets. The other options are incorrect because they either do not provide encryption or authentication for RADIUS traffic or do not involve RadSec.
NEW QUESTION # 57
Refer to the image.
Your customer is complaining of weak Wi-Fi coverage in their office. They mention that the office on the other side of the hall has much better signal What is the likely cause of this issue7
- A. The AP is an outdoor access point.
- B. The AP is configured in Mesh mode
- C. The AP is a remote access point.
- D. The AP is using a directional antenna.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The likely cause of the issue of weak Wi-Fi coverage in the office is that the AP is using a directional antenna.
A directional antenna is an antenna that radiates or receives radio waves more strongly in one or more directions, creating a focused beam of signal. A directional antenna can provide better coverage and performance for a specific area, but it can also create dead zones or weak spots for other areas. The other options are incorrect because they either do not affect the Wi-Fi coverage or do not match the scenario.

NEW QUESTION # 58
Your customer currently has Iwo (2) 5406 modular switches with MSTP configured as their core switches.
You are proposing a new solution. What would you explain regarding the Aruba CX VSX switch pair when the Primary VSX node is replaced and the system MAC is replaced?
- A. Configure vMAC on the Primary VSX node under VSX to retain MAC after hardware replacement.
- B. VSX will select the MAC address from a node that is a higher ID.
- C. VSX will select the MAC address from a node that is the lower ID.
- D. During the initial VSX configuration, the system-mac is assigned with a fixed MAC based on VSX ID.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The system-mac command is used to configure a fixed MAC address for the VSX system. This MAC address is used as the source MAC address for all routed traffic from the VSX node. The system-mac command is highly recommended for preventing traffic disruptions when the primary VSX switch restores after the secondary VSX switch, such as during a primary switch hardware replacement or a power outage2. During the initial VSX configuration, the system-mac is assigned with a fixed MAC based on VSX ID. The system-mac command can be used to change this default MAC address if needed2. Therefore, answer D is correct.

NEW QUESTION # 59
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?
- A. 17 dBm
- B. 26 dBm
- C. 30 dBm
- D. -12 dBm
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
The calculated Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) for AP1 is 17 dBm.
EIRP is the measured radiated power of an antenna in a specific direction. It is equal to the input power to the antenna multiplied by the gain of the antenna. It can also take into account the losses in transmission line, connectors, and other components. The formula for EIRP is:
EIRP = P + G - L
where P is the output power of the radio, G is the gain of the antenna, and L is the loss of the cable and connectors.
For AP1, we have:
P = 10 dBm G = 9 dBi L = 2 dB
Therefore,
EIRP = 10 + 9 - 2 EIRP = 17 dBm
NEW QUESTION # 60
Which statements regarding Aruba NAE agents are true? (Select two )
- A. NAE agents are active at all times
- B. NAE agents will never consume more than 10% of switch processor resources
- C. NAE scripts must be reviewed and signed by Aruba before being used
- D. A single NAE agent can be used by multiple NAE scripts.
- E. A single NAE script can be used by multiple NAE agents
Answer: B,E
Explanation:
The statements that are true regarding Aruba NAE agents are A and C.
A) A single NAE script can be used by multiple NAE agents. This means that you can create different instances of the same script with different parameters or settings. For example, you can use the same script to monitor different VLANs or interfaces on the switch1.
C) NAE agents will never consume more than 10% of switch processor resources. This is a built-in safeguard that prevents the agents from affecting the switch performance or stability. If an agent exceeds the 10% limit, it will be automatically disabled and an alert will be generated2.
The other options are incorrect because:
B) NAE agents are not active at all times. They can be enabled or disabled by the user, either manually or based on a schedule. They can also be disabled automatically if they encounter an error or exceed the resource limit1.
D) NAE scripts do not need to be reviewed and signed by Aruba before being used. You can create your own custom scripts using Python and upload them to the switch or Aruba Central. You can also use the scripts provided by Aruba or other sources, as long as they are compatible with the switch firmware version1.
E) A single NAE agent cannot be used by multiple NAE scripts. An agent is an instance of a script that runs on the switch. Each agent can only run one script at a time1.
NEW QUESTION # 61
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.
- A. ip access-list session pingFromWired any any svc-icmp permit user any svc-icmp deny
- B. ip access-list session pingFromWired any any svc-icmp deny any user svc-icmp permit
- C. ip access-list session pingFromWired user any svc-icmp deny any any svc-icmp permit
- D. ip access-list session pingFromWired any user any permit
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
A session-based ACL is applied to traffic entering or leaving a port or VLAN based on the direction of the session initiation. To allow ping from any wired station to wireless clients but not vice versa, a session-based ACL should be used to deny icmp echo traffic from any source to any destination, and then permit icmp echo-reply traffic from any source to user destination. The user role represents wireless clients in AOS 10.

NEW QUESTION # 62
Which statements are true about VSX LAG? (Select two.)
- A. Outgoing traffic is preferentially switched to local members of the LAG.
- B. Outgoing traffic is switched to a port based on a hashing algorithm which may be either switch in the pair
- C. Up to 255 VSX lags can be configured on all 83xx and 84xx model switches.
- D. The total number of configured links may not exceed 8 for the pair or 4 per switch
- E. LAG traffic is passed over VSX ISL links only while upgrading firmware on the switch pair
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
VSX LAG is a feature that allows a pair of Aruba CX switches to form a multichassis LAG with a downstream or upstream device. VSX LAG provides link redundancy and load balancing across the two switches. Outgoing traffic from the VSX pair to the peer device is switched to a port based on a hashing algorithm that considers various parameters such as source and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses, ports, etc. The hashing algorithm may select a port that belongs to either switch in the pair, depending on the traffic characteristics1. However, outgoing traffic is preferentially switched to local members of the LAG, meaning that each switch tries to use its own ports first before using the ISL link to send traffic to the other switch's ports2. This reduces the ISL utilization and improves performance.

NEW QUESTION # 63
Your Director of Security asks you to assign AOS-CX switch management roles to new employees based on their specific job requirements. After the configuration was complete, it was noted that a user assigned with the auditors role did not have the appropriate level of access on the switch.
The user was not allowed to perform firmware upgrades and a privilege level of 15 was not assigned to their role.
Which default management role should have been assigned for the user?
- A. sysadmin
- B. administrators
- C. config
- D. sysops
Answer: B
Explanation:
In AOS-CX switches, when assigning management roles to users that need to perform firmware upgrades and require a privilege level of 15, the role with the highest privileges should be chosen.
The "administrators" role typically provides full management access, including the ability to perform firmware upgrades and configure the switch. This role is suitable for users who need to perform advanced management and configuration tasks.
Other roles such as "sysadmin", "sysops", and "config" may provide certain levels of access but may not necessarily include the ability to perform firmware upgrades or have privilege level 15.
NEW QUESTION # 64
For the Aruba CX 6400 switch, what does virtual output queueing (VOQ) implement that is different from most typical campus switches?
- A. large egress packet buffers
- B. per port ASICs
- C. large ingress packet buffers
- D. VSX
Answer: C
Explanation:
The Aruba CX 6400 switch is a modular switch that supports high-performance and high-density Ethernet switching for campus and data center networks. One of the features that distinguishes the Aruba CX 6400 switch from most typical campus switches is virtual output queueing (VOQ). VOQ is a technique that implements large ingress packet buffers on each port to prevent head-of-line blocking and packet loss due to congestion2. VOQ allows each port to have multiple queues for different output ports and prioritize packets based on their destination and QoS class2. VOQ enables the Aruba CX 6400 switch to achieve high throughput and low latency for various traffic types and scenarios.References: 2

NEW QUESTION # 67
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?
- A. Enable GRE security
- B. Enable Enhanced PAPI security
- C. Enable Enhanced security
- D. Enable Secure Mode Enhanced
Answer: B
Explanation:
PAPI is the protocol that is used to establish tunnels between the CX switch and the Aruba Gateway for Dynamic Segmentation1. By default, PAPI uses a simple checksum to verify the integrity of the messages, but it does not encrypt the payload2. This could expose the network to spoofing or replay attacks by malicious actors. To address this situation, the administrator must enable Enhanced PAPI security, which uses AES-256 encryption and HMAC-SHA1 authentication to protect the tunnel traffic2. Enhanced PAPI security can be enabled on the CX switch by using the command system papi enhanced-security enable3. This will ensure that the tunnels built between the CX switch and the Aruba Gateway are encrypted and authenticated.

* 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: D
Explanation:
configures DHCP snooping on the switch and enables it for VLANs 100, 110, and 120. It also specifies the IP address of the authorized DHCP server and sets the ports connected to the server as trusted. This prevents any unauthorized DHCP server from providing invalid configuration data to the clients on those VLANs. Option B also enables DHCP option-82, which adds information about the switch port and VLAN to the DHCP packets, allowing for more granular control and logging of DHCP transactions.
NEW QUESTION # 70
What is an Aruba-recommended best practice for hardening that only applies to Aruba CX 6300 series switches with dedicated management ports?
- A. Disable all management services on the default VRF.
- B. Implement a control plane ACL to limit access to approved IPs and/or subnets
- C. Create a dedicated management VRF, and assign the management port to it.
- D. Manually enable Enhanced Security Mode from a console session.
Answer: C
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.

NEW QUESTION # 71
The administrator notices that wired guest users that have exceeded their bandwidth limit are not being disconnected Access Tracker in ClearPass indicates a disconnect CoA message is being sent to the AOS-CX switch.
An administrator has performed the following configuration
What is the most likely cause of this issue?
- A. Change of Authorization has not been globally enabled on the switch
- B. The SSL certificate for CPPM has not been added as a trust point on the switch
- C. There is a mismatch between the RADIUS secret on the switch and CPPM.
- D. There is a time difference between the switch and the ClearPass Policy Manager
Answer: D
Explanation:
Change of Authorization (CoA) is a feature that allows ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) to send messages to network devices such as switches to change the authorization state of a user session. CoA requires that both CPPM and the network device support this feature and have it enabled. For AOS-CX switches, CoA must be globally enabled using the command radius-server coa enable. If CoA is not enabled on the switch, the disconnect CoA message from CPPM will be ignored and the user session will not be terminated.
