1. Question #1

   A financial institution has an Aruba wireless system. Each floor is 19 meters by 23 meters (200 feet by 250 feet) and has 20 APs. The organization now requires dedicated Air Monitors (AMs). About how many AMs should the architect recommend per floor?

   • A. about 1 or 2 per floor
   • B. about 3 to 5 per floor
   • C. about 10 to 12 per floor
   • D. about 16 to 20 per floor

2. Question #2

   What should an architect use as a guideline to determine when to define another VLAN for wireless devices?

   • A. the WLAN or SSID, with a different VLAN for each SSID
   • B. the AP deployment, with a different VLAN for each AP that is deployed
   • C. the number of devices, with a different VLAN for each 250 devices
   • D. the employee roles, with a different VLAN for each role or department
   Reveal Answer

3. Question #3

   Refer to the exhibit. An architect needs to plan a network solution for a new office building with four floors. Each floor has two wiring closets with the equipment shown in the exhibit. The switches will connect to employee desktops, a few campus APs controlled by MCs, and printers. The switches do not implement tunneled node. What is a best practice design for the VLANs and subnets for the wired devices?

   • A. one VLAN per closet and a /24 subnet for each VLAN
   • B. one VLAN per closet and a /25 subnet for each VLAN
   • C. one VLAN for the entire building and a /23 subnet
   • D. one VLAN per floor and a /24 subnet for each VLAN

4. Question #4

   Read this scenario thoroughly, and then answer each question that displays on the right side of the screen. An architect proposes these products for a customer who wants a wireless and wired upgrade: Aruba 2930M switches at the access layer Aruba 5406R switches at the core Aruba AP-325s Aruba 7205 Mobility Controllers (MCs), deployed in a cluster Aruba Mobility Master (MM) Aruba ClearPass Cx000V Aruba AirWare The architect also needs to propose a security plan for the solution. The customer has 900 employees and up to 30 guests a day. The customer wants to protect the internal perimeter of the network with authentication and simple access controls. The customer is most concerned about wireless security, but also wants to ensure that only trusted users connect on the wire. However, the customer also wants all wired traffic to be forwarded locally on access layer switches. The customer already has a third-party firewall that protects the data center. The customer wants to use certificates to authenticate user devices, but is concerned about the complexity of deploying the solution. The architect should recommend a way to simplify. For the most part users connect company-issued laptops to the network. However, users can bring their own devices and connect them to the network. The customer does not know how many devices each user will connect, but expects about two or three per-user. DHCP logs indicate that the network supports a maximum of 2800 devices. Refer to the provided scenario. Which solution should the architect recommend on the 2930M switches to authenticate and control wired employee devices?

   • A. MAC-Auth on edge ports and no tunneled node
   • B. 802.1X on edge ports and per-user tunneled node
   • C. 802.1X on edge ports and no tunneled node
   • D. Mac-Auth on edge ports and per-user tunneled node

5. Question #5

   What typically drives the need for an aggregation layer in modern networks?

   • A. insufficient fiber cabling, especially between buildings
   • B. lack of high speed uplink capabilities at the access layer
   • C. simplification of spanning tree protocol ad the access layer
   • D. need to extend VLANs across wider areas
   Reveal Answer

6. Question #6

   For which scenario does the Aruba backplane stacking technology meet the needs?

   • A. The customer needs to deploy a pair of aggregation switches in the same closet, and wants to simplify the architecture and redundancy design.
   • B. The customer needs to simplify the deployment of core switches which are located in different closets for redundancy purposes.
   • C. The customer needs to expand the network and make it possible for the current core switches to support more MAC forwarding and ARP entries.
   • D. The customer needs to deploy a switch at a branch office and have the switch automatically discover and join the network stack at the main office.

7. Question #7

   An architect needs to plan 802.11ac wireless deployment for an office environment with a mix of closed offices and cubicles. The coverage area is approximately 4,645 square meters (approximately 50,000 square feet) and has 350 users. The employees use the wireless network for typical office applications, such as email, Web, printing, and accessing shared files and datacenter services. The architect plans to do a predictive site survey and use VisualRF to plan the coverage. What is a general estimate for the AP count that the architect should have in mind?

   • A. 05-Oct
   • B. Oct-15
   • C. 20-25
   • D. 40-45
   Reveal Answer

8. Question #8

   A customer needs a wired network solution that can recognize and prioritize a wide array of different types of traffic, including casual Web browsing, voice, video, SAP Online, and file sharing. The architect needs to choose between the Aruba 2930F or the 2540 Switch Series for the access layer switch. Why would the architect choose the 2930F rather than the 2540 Switch Series for this customer?

   • A. The 2930F Series supports LLDP-MED for detecting VoIP traffic, while the 2540 Series does not.
   • B. The 2930F Series supports advancing routing, including multi-area OSPF, while the 2540 Series does not.
   • C. The 2930F Series supports more options for class-based QoS policies that the 2540 Series.
   • D. The 2930F Series can provide better congestion management with its much deeper buffers.

   • A. Simplified network access control
   • B. Increased device compatibility
   • C. Enhanced bandwidth management
   • D. Reduced network costs

    • A. Range of access points
    • B. Placement of access points
    • C. Type of antennas used
    • D. SSID configuration
