Exam description
This exam tests your skills with wired configurations of Aruba Mobile First Solutions in complex two-tier and three-tier networks with redundancy. It tests your skills to build to a given implementation plan and deploy consistent wired access control technologies to mirror the wireless access control policies. It also tests your ability to configure specialized applications and security requirements for a LAN.
Ideal candidate for this exam
Typical candidates for this exam are networking IT professionals who have advanced-level implementation experience with ArubaOS wired switching solutions. This candidate has a minimum of 4 to 5 years of general networking experience and 2 years of experience focused on interpreting network architectures and customer requirements to install and configure Aruba solutions.

Exam contents
This exam has 60 questions.

Advice to help you take this exam
Complete the training and review all course materials and documents before you take the exam.
Use HPE Press study guides and additional reference materials; study guides, practice tests, and HPE books.
Exam items are based on expected knowledge acquired from job experience, an expected level of industry standard knowledge, or other prerequisites (events, supplemental materials, etc.).
Successful completion of the course or study materials alone, does not ensure you will pass the exam.

Objectives
This exam validates that you can:

Percentage of Exam Sections/Objectives

14% Plan the wired network solution.
Given a scenario with an architect’s design and/or customer requirements, identify gaps between the design and customer requirements.
Given a scenario with an architect’s design and/or customer requirements, determine an appropriate implementation, monitoring, and management plan.

46% Install and configure the wired network solution.
Given an implementation plan, configure backplane stacking and VSF.
Given an implementation plan, explain how to configure Layer 2 technologies.
Given an implementation plan, explain how to configure and validate Layer 3 interfaces, services, routing protocols and overlays.
Explain multicast features and configuration concepts.
Explain ArubaOS-Switch security features and configuration concepts.
Explain QoS ArubaOS-Switch features and configuration concepts.
Explain mobility integration features and configuration concepts.

27% Troubleshoot the wired network solution.
Given a scenario, identify a failure such as an IP mismatch, VLAN mismatch, hardware failure, or configuration error.
Given an action plan to remediate an issue, determine the implications to the network state.
Given a scenario, determine the cause of the performance problem such as QoS issue, configuration issue with hardware and software, and end node.
Given a scenario, predict the outcome based on the changes to the security configuration.
Given a scenario with an identified security issue, determine the remediation actions.

13% Manage, maintain, optimize, and monitor the wired network solution.
Given a scenario, determine a strategy to implement configuration management (maintenance, auditing, backup, archiving) and to monitor the network.
Analyze data that represents the operational state of a network and determine the appropriate action.

Sample questions

QUESTION 2
An administrator wants to ensure that an AOS-Switch forwards all traffic that it receives on interface 1 with high priority.
– Switches should also communicate the high priority to other switches across the traffic path.
– The switch has type of service disabled.
– The administrator plans to apply 802.1p priority 5 to interface 1.

QUESTION 1
What should the administrator check to ensure that the configuration will work properly?

A. Interface 1 receives traffic with a tag.
B. The AOS-Switch is configured to use eight queues.
C. The forwarding path for the traffic uses VLAN tags.
D. An 802.1p-to-DSCP map exists for priority 5.

Answer: A

QUESTION 2
An AOS-Switch implements tunneled node.
Which benefit does the PAPI enhanced security key provide?

A. It validates the signature for firmware pushed to the switch dynamically.
B. It encrypts traffic sent and received by tunneled-node endpoints.
C. It authenticates control traffic between the switch and its Mobility Controller.
D. It provides an extra layer of authentication for endpoints on tunneled-node ports.

Answer: C

QUESTION 3
OSPF Area 1 has two ABRs. One ABR is configured with this range for Area 1: 10.10.0.0/16. The other ABR is not configured with a range for Area 1.
Which type of issue occurs due to this mismatch?

A. The ABRs create a discontinuous area and disrupt intra-area routing between devices within Area 1.
B. The ABR core would send Area 1 traffic destined to the other switch through an access switch.
C. The ABRs lose adjacency entirely and cannot route traffic between each other at all.
D. The ABRs lose adjacency in Area 1 and must route all traffic to each other through Area 0.

Answer: A

QUESTION 4
What must an OSPF router do to ensure nonstop routing should a standby member take over as commander when the original VSF commander fails?

A. It must run the shortest path first algorithm.
B. It must participate in a new election for the Designated Router.
C. It must initiate a graceful restart.
D. It must re-establish adjacency with its Designated Router.
