HPE Network Campus Access Professional Architect - HPE7-A11

What is the simple difference between a main distribution framework (MDF) closet and an intermediate distribution framework (IDF) closet?

• A. MDF is the point where traffic egresses the campus network, and IDFs distribute that connectivity throughout the building.
• B. MDFs only connect to other MDFs, and IDFs only connect to other IDFs.
• C. MDFs always have larger rooms than IDFs.
• D. MDF is a term used in Europe whereas the Americas refer to all network closets as IDFs in their documentation.

XYZ Regional Hospital is an integrated healthcare system of hospitals, neighborhood health centers, and small doctor offices. XYZ Regional Hospital has recently merged with 4x neighborhood health centers and 125 doctor branch offices. The wireless, wired access, and AAA solutions are outdated and need to be replaced.
XYZ Regional Hospital is looking to future-proof and improve efficiency across all sites by enhancing wired and wireless access and migrating to a centralized and unified wired/wireless and policy management that can provide uninterrupted availability of all systems.
Locations:
- XYZ Regional Hospital is located in New York City
- Dila Health Center is located in City A
- Mount Health Center is located in City B
- Rock Health Center is located in City C
- Branch clinics are located at different locations across the United States Requirements:
- Provide, via management software, one single pane of glass to manage wired and wireless LANs, and VPNs across campus, branch, and remote via web/cloud architecture providing near real-time insight, troubleshooting tools, and Service Level performance reporting.
- Seamless integration across wired, wireless, WAN, SD-Branch, IoT
- Provide secure wireless access to all the employees of the Regional Hospital and partners, as well as provide wireless Internet access to medical citizens when they visit our facilities.
- All-access points must support the following features and specifications: 802.11.ax (Wi-Fi 6E Certified)
- Security options including WP2/WPA3, 802.1X with Radius secure authentication
- Identify and authenticate every wireless and wired device
- End-to-end role-based security
- Seamless mobility across the hospital for medical teams, patients, and visitors
- Cuts Wi-Fi deployment times from days to hours and enables Zero-Touch deployments across the site
- Establishes a resilient, future-ready network infrastructure with the intelligence, scalability, and intuitive toolsets to meet emerging needs
- Fully redundant branch solution with dynamic path selection to the hospital XYZ Regional Hospital is concerned about the performance of new latency sensitive applications that will be introduced when connected via wireless.
Which solution can address this concern?

• A. Client Insight
• B. AirSlice
• C. IDS/IPS
• D. AirMatch

Drag and Drop Question
You hired a junior engineer to assist you with a large-scale network infrastructure project. The engineer has never worked on such a complex project before and wants to better understand the role that each stakeholder will play in the project.
March the stakeholder title to the responsibilities that would most likely apply to their role.

A global cruise line company needs to refresh its current fleet. They will refresh the 'insides' of the ship to be cost-effective and increase their sustainability. They will replace the complete WLAN/LAN hardware of the ship. In this refresh, the company will not refresh its current security requirements. The CIO also wants to limit the number of unused ports in the switches. Future expansion will always mean a refresh of hardware. They start with the smallest ship with a maximum of 800 guests.
Each ship has a LAN infrastructure consisting of two core switches, up to 10 redundant distribution switches, and up to 500 access switches (400 cabins, 100 technical rooms). The Core switches are located in the MDF of the ship and the distribution switches are located in the IDFs of the ship. Each cabin and technical room gets one single access switch.
The cabling structure of the ship will not be refreshed. Each IDF is connected to the MDF by SMF, of which two pairs are available for the interconnect between the core and distribution. The length of SM fiber between MDF and IDF is less than 300 meters (980 ft) and the type used is OS1. Each cabin is connected by a single OM2 pair to the IDF, the maximum length is 60 meters (200 ft). Each technical room is connected by a single OM2 pair to the IDF, with lengths between
100 and 150 meters (320 and 500 ft).
For each cabin/technical room the customer is looking to replace their current fan-less 2530/2540 without changing the requirements, except they need to upgrade the uplink to distribution switch to 10GbE to handle the increased network traffic, and the technical rooms need redundant power.
The WLAN infrastructure will be 1:1 refreshed without new cabling or new AP locations. Their WLAN infrastructure is based on the 200/300 series indoor and outdoor APs running InstantOS (less than 300 APs), the customer has no change in WLAN requirements.
The cruise line company will replace its current internet connection before the LAN/WLAN refresh. The new Internet connection will provide a 99.8% uptime, which is needed to ensure the paid quest Wi-Fi is always operational. With this new Internet connection, the CIO of the cruise line wants to base the design on the ESP architecture from Aruba because internet connection is guaranteed.
Based on the best practices and customer requirements, what is the correct LAN approach?

• A. management and user VLANs in the underlay
• B. management and user VLANs in the overlay
• C. management VLAN in the overlay, user VLANs in the underlay
• D. management VLAN in the underlay, user VLANs in the overlay

Which is true with regard to device capabilities?

• A. You should determine If devices support 2 A GHz or 5 GHz. No consideration Is yet required for 6 GHz as It has yet to be ratified,
• B. HPE Aruba Networking recommends 40-50 devices per radio for a generic office deployment.
• C. HPE Aruba Networking's best practice is to use whatever the AP model supports as a maximum.
• D. Wi-Fi 6E supports 6 GHz for both indoor and outdoor deployments since it was ratified in April of 2020.
