A large multinational financial institution has contracted you to design a new full-stack wired and wireless network for their new 6-story regional office building. The bottom two floors of this facility will be retail space for a large banking branch. The upper floors will be carpeted office space for corporate users, each floor being approximately 100.000 sq ft (9290 sqm). Data centers are all off site and will be out of scope for this project. The customer is underserved by its existing L2-based network infrastructure and would like to take advantage of modern best practices in the new design. The network should be fully resilient and fault-tolerant, with dynamic segmentation at the edge.
The retail space will include public guest Wi-Fi access. Retail associates will have corporate tablets for customer service, and there will be a mix of wired and wireless devices throughout the retail floors. The corporate users will primarily use wireless for connectivity, but several wired clients, printers, and hard VoIP phones will be in use.
The customer is also planning on renovating the corporate office space in order to take advantage of "smart office’ technology. These improvements will drive blue-dot wayfinding. presence analytics, and other location-based services
The client has decided to market additional tools to its retail customers. The desire is to make a Blue Dot wayfinding. app available to any customer to allow them to locate stores and services within the retail space. They would also like to have directed pop-ups within the app appear when a customer walks within close proximity to any of the 10 "Promotional Kiosks"
What licensing will be needed to make this retail solution a reality? (Select two.)
- A . qty 1 Meridian Map subscription
- B . qty Z Meridian Blue Dot subscriptions
- C . qty 2 Meridian Map subscriptions
- D . qty 10 Aruba beacons
What is the primary purpose of Aruba UXI sensors?
- A . To monitor environmental factors such as humidity and temperature
- B . To provide enhanced security surveillance
- C . To measure user experience metrics on network services
- D . To extend the wireless range
- E . To reduce electromagnetic interference
You aregoing with a 3-tierdesign and need to calculate the oversubscription ratio on the Access. Distribution. Core, and ToR Layer.
What is a suitable oversubscription ratio for each layer?
A global cruise line company needs to refresh its current fleet. They win refresh the insides’ of the ship to be cost-effective and increase their sustain ability. They Mill replace the complete WLAN/LAN hardware of the ship. In this refresh, the company will not refresh Us 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 (930 ft) and the type used is 0S1. Each cabin is connected by a single 0M2 pair to the IDF. the maximum length is 60 meters (200 ft). Each technical room is connected by a single 0M2 pail 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 10GbEto 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 instant OS (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 guest 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, what should you recommend as the most cost-effective switch model for the
cabins?
- A . HPE Aruba Networking 6200F 12g Class4 PoE 2G/2SFP+
- B . HPE Aruba Networking 6100 246 Class4 PoE 45FP+
- C . HPE Aruba Networking 6100 126 Classd PoE 26/2SFP+
- D . HPE Aruba Networking 6000 126 Class4 PoE 2G/2SFP
What is the best practice for using VSX at the core of a 3-tier design?
- A . You should never implement VSX at the core of a 3-tier redundancy core.
- B . You should implement VSX at the core when the aggregation layer is layer 3 only with OSPF-routed traffic forwarding Between the core and aggregation layers.
- C . You should Implement VSX at the core when the aggregation layer operates at layer 2 only.
- D . VSX-lags allow the collapsed core to connect directly to services such as gateways and services only so long as spanning tree is used to prevent loops.
identify the stakeholders when gathering information for the network design and new IDF/MDF design. (Select two.)
- A . Help desk manager
- B . Facility manager
- C . Chief Financial Officer
- D . Network Operations manager

What are the advantages of using a vSX-pair instead of two discrete switches to connect servers, storage, firewalls, and other workloads?
- A . The setup is much easier since both switches are sharing the same configuration.
- B . You can save hall the number of licenses needed tor AFC.
- C . Both members in a VSX-paircan be upgraded without any downtime for the workload.
- D . VMWare-Most can be connected with or without using LACP. regardless of their license.
