HP HPE6-A73 Exam Practice Questions (P. 4)

GPT-4o - Answer

NetEdit uses SNMP and SSH to manage third-party devices effectively. It can use SNMP to access standard MIBs on these devices, which allows for their detection and monitoring within NetEdit. Additionally, SSH credentials can be entered for third-party devices to manage configurations and operations more securely. This combination ensures comprehensive integration and automatable management in a mixed device environment.

GPT-4o - Answer

The correct policy to allow downloadable user roles on AOS-CX switches involves ensuring that appropriate firewall settings are established to facilitate communication between the ClearPass server and the switches. Despite a common belief that HTTPS via TCP 443 is required for role transfers as it traditionally handles secure web connections, the specific scenario with AOS-CX uses a different protocol. Aruba’s implementation for downloadable user roles actually requires UDP 8211 for the role information transfer. Therefore, firewall settings need to be adjusted to allow UDP 8211 to ensure successful communication for downloading roles.

GPT-4o - Answer

When setting up an ERSPAN session on an AOS-CX switch to allow a network administrator to troubleshoot connectivity issues, one must specify the administrator's desktop as the destination, not the intermediate switch. This is because the AOS-CX employs GRE for the encapsulation of mirrored packets, facilitating the direct delivery to a remote analysis tool like Wireshark running on the desktop. This approach leverages GRE’s ability to encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocol packet types, allowing it to transport across heterogeneous networks. Choose options B and C for setting up such a session correctly.

GPT-4o - Answer

In a configured VSX with PIM-SM routing, both VSX peers operate under a shared control plane, which maintains consistency in PIM neighborships and multicast group databases. This shared group database allows both peers to respond and send PIM Join messages, enhancing readiness and redundancy, particularly ensuring smooth failover if one peer fails, by seamlessly continuing multicast traffic routing via the other peer. Thus, it accomplishes load sharing while catering to multicast streams across the relevant VLANs. This configuration leverages the replicated control and data plane architecture of VSX for robust multicast handling without designating a single router for forwarding duties.
