QUESTION NO: 2
A global cruise-line company must refresh its current fleet. It will refresh the ship's "insides" to remain cost- effective and improve sustainability, replacing all WLAN/LAN hardware. During this refresh, the company will retain its current security requirements. The CIO also wants to minimize the number of unused switch ports. Any future expansion will always involve a hardware refresh. The company begins with its smallest ship, supporting a maximum of 800 guests.
Each ship has a LAN infrastructure comprising two core switches, up to 10 redundant distribution switches, and up to 500 access switches (400 cabins and 100 technical rooms). The core switches are in the ship's MDF, and the distribution switches are in the IDFs. Each cabin and technical room has one access switch.
The ship's cabling structure will not be refreshed. Each IDF connects to the MDF through SMF, with two pairs available for the core-to-distribution interconnect. The MDF-to-IDF SMF run is under 300 meters (980 ft) and uses OS1 fiber. Each cabin connects to its IDF through a single OM2 pair, with a maximum length of
60 meters (200 ft). Each technical room connects to its IDF through a single OM2 pair, with lengths from 100 to 150 meters (320 to 500 ft).
For every cabin and technical room, the customer wants to replace its current fanless 2530/2540 without changing requirements, except that the uplink to the distribution switch must be upgraded to 10GbE to accommodate increased network traffic, and technical rooms require redundant power.
The WLAN infrastructure will be refreshed 1:1, with no new cabling or AP locations. It uses 200/300-series indoor and outdoor APs running InstantOS (fewer than 300 APs), and the customer has no changes to WLAN requirements.
The cruise-line company will replace its current Internet connection before the LAN/WLAN refresh. The new Internet connection will provide 99.8% uptime, required to keep paid guest Wi-Fi operational. With this new Internet connection, the CIO wants to base the design on Aruba's ESP architecture because the Internet connection is guaranteed.
Based on HPE Aruba Networking best practices and the customer's stated requirements, which segmentation design approach is suitable for this environment?

QUESTION NO: 3
Based on this campus design, select the layer most suitable to be designed as a Border Persona when considering an EVPN VXLAN Fabric.
Original network architecture exhibit
Based on this campus design, select the layer most suitable to be designed as a Border Persona when considering an EVPN VXLAN Fabric.
Original network architecture exhibit
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
WAN Aggregation Layer
Within an EVPN-VXLAN fabric, the Border Persona provides connectivity between the overlay fabric and networks or services located outside the fabric.
The diagram identifies WAN aggregation as the layer connecting the enterprise campus network to external WAN and Internet resources.
This makes the WAN aggregation layer the most appropriate location for the Border Persona.
HPE Aruba Networking Central NetConductor uses distinct fabric personas to define the responsibilities of participating network devices.
The Edge Persona is generally deployed on access switches, where endpoints connect and distributed policy enforcement occurs. The Route Reflector Persona distributes EVPN reachability information among participating VTEPs and is commonly positioned at the campus core.
The Stub Persona extends connectivity and policy information toward services or devices that use static VXLAN tunnels, including certain wireless gateway designs.
The Border Persona provides connectivity between the EVPN fabric and external routed networks. It therefore requires appropriate route exchange, forwarding, segmentation, and redundancy capabilities.
In the supplied architecture, WAN aggregation directly represents this external-connectivity boundary.
HPE's NetConductor architecture documentation explicitly identifies WAN aggregation as a supported Border Persona placement.
For smaller campus deployments, Border and Route Reflector functions can also be combined on supported core switches.

QUESTION NO: 5
A large multinational financial institution has hired you to design a new full-stack wired and wireless network for its new six-story regional office building. The bottom two floors will provide retail space for a large banking branch. The upper floors will be carpeted corporate office space, with each floor approximately
100,000 sq ft (9290 sq m). All data centers are offsite and outside this project's scope. The customer is underserved by its existing L2-based network infrastructure and wants to use modern best practices in the new design. The network must be fully resilient and fault-tolerant, with dynamic segmentation at the edge.
The retail space will offer public guest Wi-Fi. Retail associates will use corporate tablets for customer service, and the retail floors will contain a mix of wired and wireless devices. Corporate users will primarily connect wirelessly, although several wired clients, printers, and hard VoIP phones will also be used.
The customer also plans to renovate the corporate office space to take advantage of 'smart office' technology.
These enhancements will enable blue-dot wayfinding, presence analytics, and other location-based services.
The client wants redundant RADIUS resources in each of its three geographical regions (AMER, EMEA, and APAC). A large office location in each region has sufficient VMware resources available.
Each region has 5,000 clients, all of whom must perform either 802.1x wired or wireless authentication, as well as 802.1x authentication for one personal Wi-Fi device.
All non-personal devices must also validate health with a local agent.
An average of 500 guests are expected to be connected, with a maximum of 700 simultaneous connections using Guest Portal for Internet access.
TACACS authentication will also be configured for a total of 1,200 evenly distributed NADs.
To support virtual IPs and server redundancy in every region, how many Virtual Policy Manager Licenses are required?

QUESTION NO: 6
Match each deployment type with its estimated number of APs.
Match each deployment type with its estimated number of APs.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
AP quantity
Correct deployment type
100,000 ft² / 9000 m² building 100,000/10,000 = 10 APs
Very low-density, low coverage
100,000 ft² / 9000 m² building 100,000/5000 = 20 APs
Coverage based design
100,000 ft² / 9000 m² building 100,000/2500 = 40 APs
Capacity based design with low to mid density
100,000 ft² / 9000 m² building 100,000/1500 = 67 APs
High-capacity design
Wireless access point density is determined by the coverage and capacity objectives of the proposed WLAN.
The calculations in the question represent preliminary planning estimates based on the total floor area and assumed service area per AP.
A very low-density deployment uses approximately one AP per 10,000 square feet, producing an initial estimate of ten APs for a 100,000-square-foot building.
A coverage-based deployment uses approximately one AP per 5,000 square feet, resulting in twenty APs.
For environments requiring additional client capacity, the design may use approximately one AP per 2,500 square feet, producing forty APs.
A high-capacity environment may require approximately one AP per 1,500 square feet, resulting in approximately sixty-seven APs.
Increasing access point density can improve spatial reuse and per-client capacity when channel planning, transmit power, and RF conditions are properly managed.
However, excessive AP density without appropriate RF engineering can increase co-channel interference and reduce network performance.
HPE Aruba Networking recommends validating AP placement through predictive design, application requirements, client-density analysis, and site surveys.
These figures are preliminary planning assumptions, not universal HPE deployment limits or guarantees of coverage.

Match each deployment type to its usage scenario.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Usage scenario
Correct deployment type
Basic office/cubicle area with low to medium user density and no voice with limited RF redundancy.
Coverage based design
Coverage, office areas with higher user density OR basic coverage office/cubicle with High Demand users Capacity based design with low to mid density High user density indoor space, with high demand users High-capacity design Warehouses, large open areas Very low-density, low coverage Wireless deployment strategies must be selected according to the expected user population, application requirements, physical environment, and required network performance.
Coverage-based design prioritizes consistent wireless signal availability over maximum aggregate throughput.
It is appropriate for conventional office environments with moderate client density and limited real-time communication requirements.
Capacity-based design with low to medium density provides additional access points to accommodate more simultaneous users or higher application demand.
This approach reduces the number of clients sharing each radio and can improve aggregate throughput when RF channel reuse is properly managed.
High-capacity design is intended for environments containing concentrated populations of users with substantial bandwidth requirements.
Examples include conference facilities, high-density collaborative workspaces, and areas supporting large numbers of simultaneously active devices.
Very low-density design is appropriate for large open areas such as warehouses, where devices may be distributed across extensive floor space and traffic requirements are relatively modest.
HPE Aruba Networking's RF design guidance distinguishes coverage-based deployments from capacity-based designs and recommends evaluating client density, application demand, RF attenuation, and available airtime.
The architect must validate the selected deployment strategy through predictive RF planning and physical site surveys.
