A customer wants to provide wired security as close to the source as possible The wired security must meet the following requirements:

Allow ping from the IT management VLAN to the user VLAN

Deny ping sourcing from the user VLAN to the IT management VLAN

The customer is using Aruba CX 6300s

What is the correct way to implement these requirements?


A. Apply an outbound ACL on the user VLAN allowing temp echo-reply traffic toward the IT management VLAN


B. Apply an inbound ACL on the user VLAN allowing icmp echo-reply traffic toward the IT management VLAN


C. Apply an inbound ACL on the user VLAN denying icmp echo traffic toward the IT management VLAN


D. Apply an outbound ACL on the user VLAN denying icmp echo traffic toward the IT management VLAN





C.
  Apply an inbound ACL on the user VLAN denying icmp echo traffic toward the IT management VLAN


Explanation:

An inbound ACL is applied to traffic entering a port or VLAN. An outbound ACL is applied to traffic leaving a port or VLAN4. To deny ping sourcing from the user VLAN to the IT management VLAN, an inbound ACL on the user VLAN should be used to filter icmp echo traffic toward the IT management VLAN. Icmp echo-reply traffic is not needed to be allowed because it is already permitted by default5.

Which feature supported by SNMPv3 provides an advantage over SNMPv2c?


A. Transport mapping


B. Community strings


C. GetBulk


D. Encryption





D.
  Encryption


Explanation:

Encryption is a feature supported by SNMPv3 that provides an advantage over SNMPv2c. Encryption protects the confidentiality and integrity of SNMP messages by encrypting them with a secret key. SNMPv2c does not support encryption and relies on community strings for authentication and authorization, which are transmitted in clear text and can be easily intercepted or spoofed. Transport mapping, community strings, and GetBulk are features that are common to both SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.

With Aruba CX 6300. how do you configure ip address 10 10 10 1 for the interface in default state for interface 1/1/1?


A. int 1/1/1. switching, ip address 10 10 10 1/24


B. int 1/1/1. no switching, ip address 10 10 10.1/24


C. int 1/1/1. ip address 10.10.10.1/24


D. int 1/1/1. routing, ip address 10.10.10 1/24





B.
  int 1/1/1. no switching, ip address 10 10 10.1/24


Explanation:

To configure an IP address for an interface in default state for interface 1/1/1 on Aruba CX 6300 switch, you need to disable switching on the interface first with the command no switching. Then you can assign an IP address with the command ip address. The other options are incorrect because they either do not disable switching or use invalid keywords such as switching or routing.

What is used to retrieve data stored in a Management Information Base (MIS)?


A. SNMPv3


B. DSCP


C. TLV


D. CDP





A.
  SNMPv3


Explanation:

The correct answer is A. SNMPv3.

SNMPv3 is a protocol that is used to retrieve data stored in a Management Information Base (MIB), which is a database of managed objects in a network. SNMPv3 provides security and access control features that are not available in earlier versions of SNMP. SNMPv3 can also use encryption to protect the data from unauthorized access or modification.

According to the Aruba Certified Professional – Campus Access document1, one of the skills that this certification validates is:

• Implement and Analyze the output from common network monitoring tools The document also mentions that the candidate should have a distinguished understanding of different protocols across vendors, which implies that they should be familiar with SNMPv3 and how it can be used to access MIB data.

With the Aruba CX switch configuration, what is the Active Gateway feature that is used for and is unique to VSX configuration?


A. Sixteen different VMACs are supported total as shared.


B. Active Gateway can once MSTP instances are created for VLAN load sharing.


C. Sixteen different VMACS are supported for each IPV4 and IPV6 stack simultaneously


D. copied over the ISL link for an optimized path.





C.
  Sixteen different VMACS are supported for each IPV4 and IPV6 stack simultaneously


Explanation:

The active gateway feature is used to provide active-active layer 3 default gateway for hosts on the same subnet. It allows the switch to convert multicast streams into unicast streams over the wireless link, which improves the quality and reliability of streaming video, while preserving the bandwidth available to the non-video clients. The active gateway feature is unique to VSX configuration because it eliminates the need for VRRP and avoids traffic being pushed over the ISL link, which can cause latency in the network12.

The correct answer to the question is C. Sixteen different VMACs are supported for each IPv4 and IPv6 stack simultaneously. This means that you can have a maximum of eight VMACs for IPv4, and a maximum of eight VMACs for IPv6, on a VSX pair. Only 15 VMACs are supported on 6400 switch series2.

The other options are incorrect because:

• A. Sixteen different VMACs are not supported total as shared. They are supported for each IPv4 and IPv6 stack separately.

• B. Active gateway can be used without MSTP instances. MSTP is a protocol that allows multiple spanning tree instances to coexist on the same switch, but it does not affect how active gateway works.

• D. Active gateway does not copy traffic over the ISL link for an optimized path. It avoids using the ISL link for routed traffic and uses the local switch interface MAC instead of the virtual MAC address (VMAC) for source address1.

A customer is using a legacy application that communicates at layer-2. The customer would like to keep this application working to a remote site connected via layer-3 All legacy devices are connected to a dedicated Aruba CX 6200 switch at each site.

What technology on the Aruba CX 6200 could be used to meet this requirement?


A. Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag (IMET)


B. Ethernet over IP (EolP)


C. Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE)


D. Static VXLAN





A.
  Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag (IMET)


Explanation:

VXLAN is a technology that can be used to meet the requirement of using a legacy application that communicates at layer-2 across a layer-3 network. Static VXLAN is a feature that allows the creation of layer-2 overlay networks over a layer-3 underlay network using VXLAN tunnels. Static VXLAN does not require any control plane protocol or VTEP discovery mechanism, and can be configured manually on the Aruba CX 6200 switches. The other options are incorrect because they either do not support layer-2 communication over layer-3 network or are not supported by Aruba CX 6200 switches.

What is a primary benefit of BSS coloring?


A. BSS color tags improve performance by allowing APS on the same channel to be farther apart


B. BSS color tags improve security by identifying rogue APS and tagging them as threats.


C. BSS color tags are applied on the wireless controllers and can reduce the threshold for interference_


D. BSS color tags are applied to WI-Fi channels and can reduce the threshold tor interference





D.
  BSS color tags are applied to WI-Fi channels and can reduce the threshold tor interference


Explanation:

The primary benefit of BSS coloring is D. BSS color tags are applied to Wi-Fi channels and can reduce the threshold for interference. BSS coloring is a mechanism that allows Wi-Fi 6 devices to mark each frame with a color code that identifies the BSS (Basic Service Set) it belongs to. This helps differentiate between frames from different BSSs that share the same channel and avoid unnecessary collisions and backoffs. BSS coloring also introduces an adaptive threshold for interference, which means that Wi-Fi 6 devices can adjust the signal strength value that determines whether a channel is busy or not based on the current network environment. This allows for more efficient use of spectrum and higher throughput in dense scenarios12.

Your customer has asked you to assign a switch management role for a new user The customer requires the user role to only have Web Ul access to the System > Log page and only have access to the GET method for REST API for the /logs/event resource. Which default AOS-CX user role meets these requirements?


A. administrators


B. auditors


C. sysops


D. operators





A.
  administrators


Explanation:

The auditors role is the default AOS-CX user role that meets the requirements of having Web UI access to the System > Log page and having access to the GET method for REST API for the /logs/event resource. The auditors role has a level of 1 and allows read-only access to most commands except those related to security or passwords. It also allows access to the Web UI and REST API with limited permissions. The other options are incorrect because they either have higher levels of access or do not allow access to the Web UI or REST API.

You need to ensure that voice traffic sent through an ArubaOS-CX switch arrives with minimal latency What is the best scheduling technology to use for this task?


A. Strict queuing


B. Rate limiting


C. QoS shaping


D. DWRR queuing





A.
  Strict queuing


Explanation:

Strict queuing is the best scheduling technology to use for voice traffic on an AOS-CX switch. Scheduling is a mechanism that determines how packets are transmitted from different queues on an egress port. Strict queuing is a scheduling method that gives the highest priority queue absolute preference over all other queues, regardless of their size or utilization. Voice traffic should be assigned to the highest priority queue and scheduled with strict queuing to ensure minimal latency and jitter. The other options are incorrect because they are either not scheduling methods or not optimal for voice traffic.
