A university campus is upgrading its network. The design requires a highly available core with two switches that can be managed as a single logical entity from the perspective of downstream access layer switches using MC-LAG. The solution must support independent control planes for resilience and allow for in-service software upgrades. Which Aruba technology should be selected for the core switches?
An administrator is configuring an Aruba CX switch for Dynamic Segmentation. The goal is to assign network access policies based on user roles defined in Aruba ClearPass. Which of the following components are required on the switch to achieve this? (Select TWO)
True or False: In an ArubaOS-CX VSX configuration, the `active-gateway` command provides Layer 3 gateway redundancy using a shared virtual MAC and IP address, eliminating the need for VRRP.
## Case Study: Global Retail Inc. **Company Background:** Global Retail Inc. is a multinational corporation with over 500 retail stores. Each store has a small network of Aruba CX 6200 switches for POS terminals, IP phones, and guest Wi-Fi. The corporate IT team is small and needs a centralized, scalable way to manage, monitor, and update the firmware of all store switches without requiring on-site technical staff. **Current Situation:** Currently, new switches are manually configured before being shipped to stores, a process that is slow and error-prone. Firmware updates require manual intervention, leading to inconsistent software versions across the estate. The team struggles to get a unified view of the health and performance of the store networks, making troubleshooting difficult and reactive. **Requirements:** 1. Implement a zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) solution for new store deployments. 2. Centralize configuration management using templates to ensure consistency. 3. Establish a unified dashboard for monitoring the health of all switches. 4. Automate and schedule firmware upgrades for all stores during non-business hours. **Question:** Which HPE Aruba Networking solution best meets all of Global Retail Inc.'s requirements for managing their distributed switching infrastructure?
A network engineer observes that an Aruba CX switch in a VSF stack has rebooted unexpectedly. To investigate the cause of the reboot, the engineer should use the `show ______` command.
A network is experiencing intermittent Layer 2 loops. The administrator suspects an issue with the MSTP configuration. The `show spanning-tree` command on a non-root switch reveals that one of its ports is alternating between the Root and Designated roles for a specific MSTI. What is the most likely cause of this behavior? graph TD SW1((Core-A Root)) -- P1 --- SW3(Access-1) SW2((Core-B)) -- P2 --- SW3 SW1 --- SW2 style SW1 fill:#d4edda,stroke:#155724
A financial firm is deploying a campus fabric using EVPN-VXLAN. Which statement accurately describes the roles of the underlay and overlay networks in this architecture?
An administrator is configuring Quality of Service (QoS) on an Aruba CX switch to prioritize VoIP traffic. The goal is to place all traffic marked with DSCP EF (46) into a strict priority queue. Which sequence of steps is correct?
A consultant is creating an implementation plan for a new Aruba switching infrastructure at a client's data center. The plan needs to detail the sequence of activities, dependencies, and rollback procedures. Which of the following should be included in the 'Risk Assessment' section of this plan?
