Most UptoDate HP HPE7-A01 Exam Dumps PDF 2026

HPE7-A01 exam covers a wide range of topics such as Aruba WLAN fundamentals, Aruba OS 8.x features and functionality, and Aruba Mobility Master and Mobility Controller architecture. It also covers topics such as Aruba access points, RF fundamentals, and the implementation of Aruba wireless solutions in enterprise environments.

Q88. 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?

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

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

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

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

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. References: 4

Q89. A customer is concerned about me unprotected traffic between an AOS-CX switch and a gateway, running on AOStO. What is a feasible option to protect this traffic?

no action is needed, an RSA certificate already encrypts the traffic

Implement an MD5 HMAC function lo protect PAPI between the AOS-CX switches and the gateway

Implement an IPSec tunnel to protect PAPI between the AOS-CX switches and the gateway

Implement a GRE tunnel to protect PAPI between the AOS-CX switches and the gateway

According to the Aruba Documentation Portal1, PAPI (Port Aggregation Protocol) is a protocol that allows multiple physical ports to be aggregated into a single logical port for increased bandwidth and performance. PAPI can be used between AOS-CX switches and gateways, or between AOS-CX switches and other devices.
Option A: Implement an IPSec tunnel to protect PAPI between the AOS-CX switches and the gateway This is because option A shows how to implement an IPSec tunnel between two devices using the interface command and the ipsec command. An IPSec tunnel can provide encryption and authentication for PAPI traffic between two devices, such as an AOS-CX switch and a gateway.

Q90. Which network components communicate using the RADIUS protocol for authentication and accounting?

an access point and the endpoint device

a Network Access Server and a RADIUS authentication server

an endpoint device and a RADIUS authentication server

a Network Access Server and an endpoint device

The RADIUS protocol is used between a Network Access Server (NAS) – such as a switch, wireless controller, or VPN gateway – and a RADIUS authentication server for user authentication and accounting. The endpoint device communicates with the NAS, which then relays authentication requests to the RADIUS server.

Q91. Refer to the image.

Your customer is complaining of weak Wi-Fi coverage in their office. They mention that the office on the other side of the hall has much better signal What is the likely cause of this issue7

The AP is a remote access point.

The AP is using a directional antenna.

The AP is an outdoor access point.

The AP is configured in Mesh mode

Explanation
The likely cause of the issue of weak Wi-Fi coverage in the office is that the AP is using a directional antenna.
A directional antenna is an antenna that radiates or receives radio waves more strongly in one or more directions, creating a focused beam of signal. A directional antenna can provide better coverage and performance for a specific area, but it can also create dead zones or weak spots for other areas. The other options are incorrect because they either do not affect the Wi-Fi coverage or do not match the scenario.

Q92. What does the 802.3bz standard describe?

2.5Gb and 5Gb Ethernet ports

60 W and 90W PoE

AP directed roaming between APs

60 GHz P2P Wi-Fi

802.3bz is a standard for Ethernet over twisted pair at speeds of 2.5 and 5 Gbit/s. These use the same cabling as the ubiquitous Gigabit Ethernet, yet offer higher speeds. The resulting standards are named 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T.
Option A: 2.5Gb and 5Gb Ethernet ports
This is because option A shows how to identify the speed of an Ethernet port based on its name and the standard it supports. A port that supports 2.5GBASE-T or 5GBASE-T is a multi-gigabit port that can operate at speeds of up to 2.5 Gbit/s or 5 Gbit/s over twisted pair cables23. Therefore, option A is correct.

Q93. You are configuring an SVI on an Aruba CX switch that needs to have the following characteristics:
* VLANID = 25
. IPv4 address 10 105 43 1 with mask 255 255 255.0
* IPv6 address fd00:5708::f02d:4df6 with a 64 bit prefix length
* member of VRF eng
* VRF eng and VLAN 25 have not yet been created
Which command lists will satisfy the requirements with the least number of commands?

Q94. A company recently deployed new Aruba Access Points at different branch offices Wireless
802.1X authentication will be against a RADIUS server in the cloud. The security team is concerned that the traffic between the AP and the RADIUS server will be exposed..
What is the appropriate solution for this scenario?

Enable EAP-TLS on all wireless devices

Configure RadSec on the AP and Aruba Central.

Enable EAP-TTLS on all wireless devices.

Configure RadSec on the AP and the RADIUS server

This is the appropriate solution for this scenario where wireless 802.1X authentication will be against a RADIUS server in the cloud and the security team is concerned that the traffic between the AP and the RADIUS server will be exposed. RadSec, also known as RADIUS over TLS, is a protocol that provides encryption and authentication for RADIUS traffic over TCP and TLS.
RadSec can be configured on both the AP and the RADIUS server to establish a secure tunnel for exchanging RADIUS packets. The other options are incorrect because they either do not provide encryption or authentication for RADIUS traffic or do not involve RadSec.

Q95. Your Aruba CX 6300 VSF stack has OSPF adjacency over SVI 10 with LAG 1 to a neighboring device.
The following configuration was created on the switch:

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a routing protocol that uses link-state information to calculate the best path to each destination in the network. OSPF establishes adjacencies with neighboring routers to exchange routing information and maintain a consistent view of the network topology.
To establish an OSPF adjacency, the routers need to have some common parameters, such as the area ID, the network type, the hello interval, the dead interval, and the authentication method.
The routers also need to have a matching subnet mask on the interface that connects them. In this case, the Aruba CX 6300 VSF stack has an SVI (Switched Virtual Interface) on VLAN 10 with an IP address of 10.1.1.1/24 and a LAG (Link Aggregation Group) on port 1/1/1 and port 2/1/1 that connects to a neighboring device. The SVI is configured with OSPF area 0 and network type broadcast. The LAG is configured with OSPF passive mode, which means that it will not send or receive OSPF hello packets.
The neighboring device has an interface with an IP address of 10.1.1.2/24 and a LAG on port
1/0/1 and port 2/0/1 that connects to the Aruba CX 6300 VSF stack. The interface is configured with OSPF area 0 and network type broadcast.
Since the Aruba CX 6300 VSF stack and the neighboring device have the same area ID, network type, subnet mask, and default hello and dead intervals on their interfaces, they will be able to establish an OSPF adjacency over SVI 10 with LAG 1. The OSPF passive mode on the LAG will not affect the adjacency, because it only applies to the LAG interface, not the SVI interface.

Q96. Which statements are true about VSX LAG? (Select two.)

The total number of configured links may not exceed 8 for the pair or 4 per switch

Outgoing traffic is switched to a port based on a hashing algorithm which may be either switch in the pair

LAG traffic is passed over VSX ISL links only while upgrading firmware on the switch pair

Outgoing traffic is preferentially switched to local members of the LAG.

Up to 255 VSX lags can be configured on all 83xx and 84xx model switches.

Explanation
VSX LAG is a feature that allows a pair of Aruba CX switches to form a multichassis LAG with a downstream or upstream device. VSX LAG provides link redundancy and load balancing across the two switches. Outgoing traffic from the VSX pair to the peer device is switched to a port based on a hashing algorithm that considers various parameters such as source and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses, ports, etc. The hashing algorithm may select a port that belongs to either switch in the pair, depending on the traffic characteristics1. However, outgoing traffic is preferentially switched to local members of the LAG, meaning that each switch tries to use its own ports first before using the ISL link to send traffic to the other switch’s ports2. This reduces the ISL utilization and improves performance. References: 1

Q97. Drag and Drop Question
Match the solution components of HPE Aruba Networking Central NetConductor (Options may be used more than once or not at all.)

Q98. A customer just upgraded aggregation layer switches and noticed traffic dropping for 120 seconds after the aggregation layer came online again. What is the best way to avoid having this traffic dropped given the topology below?

Configure the linkup delay timer to 240 seconds to double the amount of lime for the initial phase to sync

Configure the linkup delay timer to exclude LAGS 101 and 102, which will allow time for routing adjacencies to form and to learn upstream routes

Configure the linkup delay timer to include LAGs 101 and 102, which will allow time for routing adjacencies lo form and to learn upstream routes

Configure the linkup delay timer to 120 seconds, which will allow the right amount of time for the initial phase to sync

The reason is that the linkup delay timer is a feature that delays bringing downstream VSX links up, following a VSX device reboot or an ISL flap. The linkup delay timer has two phases: initial synchronization phase and link-up delay phase.
The initial synchronization phase is the download phase where the rebooted node learns all the LACP+MAC+ARP+STP database entries from its VSX peer through ISLP. The initial synchronization timer, which is not configurable, is the required time to download the database information from the peer.
The link-up delay phase is the duration for installing the downloaded entries to the ASIC, establishing router adjacencies with core nodes and learning upstream routes. The link-up delay timer default value is 180 seconds. Depending on the network size, ARP/routing tables size, you might be required to set the timer to a higher value (maximum 600 seconds).
When both VSX devices reboot, the link-up delay timer is not used.
Therefore, by configuring the linkup delay timer to include LAGs 101 and 102, which are part of the same VSX device as LAG 201, you can ensure that both devices have enough time to synchronize their databases and form routing adjacencies before bringing down their downstream links.

Q99. Your customer currently has Iwo (2) 5406 modular switches with MSTP configured as their core switches. You are proposing a new solution. What would you explain regarding the Aruba CX VSX switch pair when the Primary VSX node is replaced and the system MAC is replaced?

VSX will select the MAC address from a node that is the lower ID.

Configure vMAC on the Primary VSX node under VSX to retain MAC after hardware replacement.

VSX will select the MAC address from a node that is a higher ID.

During the initial VSX configuration, the system-mac is assigned with a fixed MAC based on VSX ID.

The system-mac command is used to configure a fixed MAC address for the VSX system. This MAC address is used as the source MAC address for all routed traffic from the VSX node. The system-mac command is highly recommended for preventing traffic disruptions when the primary VSX switch restores after the secondary VSX switch, such as during a primary switch hardware replacement or a power outage2. During the initial VSX configuration, the system-mac is assigned with a fixed MAC based on VSX ID. The system-mac command can be used to change this default MAC address if needed2. Therefore, answer D is correct.

Q100. 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?

administrators

auditors

sysops

operators

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. Reference: https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/AOS-CX/10.04/HTML/5200-6728/bk01-ch01.html https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/AOS-CX/10.04/HTML/5200-6728/bk01-ch04.html

Q101. List the WPA 4-Way Handshake functions in the correct order.

Proves knowledge of the PMK
Exchanges messages for generating PTK
Distributes an encrypted GTK to the client
Sets first initialization vector (IV)

Q102. Which statements regarding 0SPFv2 route redistribution are true for Aruba OS CX switches? (Select two.)

The “redistribute connected” command will redistribute all connected routes for the switch including local loopback addresses

The “redistribute ospf” command will redistribute routes from all OSPF V2 and V3 processes

The “redistribute static route-map connected-routes” command will redistribute all static routes without a matching deny in the route map “connected-routes”.

The “redistribute connected” command will redistribute all connected routes for the switch except local loopback addresses.

The “redistribute static route-map connected-routes” command will redistribute all static routes with a matching permit in the route map “connected-routes-

Explanation
These are two correct statements regarding OSPFv2 route redistribution for Aruba OS CX switches. Route redistribution is a process that allows routes from one routing protocol or source to be injected into another routing protocol or destination. OSPFv2 is a link-state routing protocol that supports route redistribution from various sources, such as connected, static, BGP, etc. The “redistribute connected” command will redistribute all connected routes for the switch, including local loopback addresses, into OSPFv2. The “redistribute static route-map connected-routes” command will redistribute all static routes that have a matching permit statement in the route map named “connected-routes” into OSPFv2. The other statements are incorrect because they either do not reflect the correct behavior of route redistribution commands or do not exist as valid commands.

Q103. A large retail client is looking to generate a rich set of contextual data based on the location information of wireless clients in their stores Which standard uses Round Trip Time (RTT) and Fine Time Measurements (FTM) to calculate the distance a client is from an AP?

802.11ah

802.11mc

802.11be

802.11V

802.11mc is a standard that uses Round Trip Time (RTT) and Fine Time Measurements (FTM) to calculate the distance a client is from an AP. 802.11mc defines a protocol for exchanging FTM frames between an AP and a client, which contain timestamps that indicate when the frames were transmitted and received. By measuring the RTT of these frames, the AP or the client can estimate their distance based on the speed of light. The other options are incorrect because they either do not use RTT or FTM or do not exist as standards.

Q104. In AOS 10. which session-based ACL below will only allow ping from any wired station to wireless clients but will not allow ping from wireless clients to wired stations”? The wired host ingress traffic arrives on a trusted port.

ip access-list session pingFromWired any user any permit

ip access-list session pingFromWired user any svc-icmp deny any any svc-icmp permit

ip access-list session pingFromWired any any svc-icmp permit user any svc-icmp deny

ip access-list session pingFromWired any any svc-icmp deny any user svc-icmp permit

A session-based ACL is applied to traffic entering or leaving a port or VLAN based on the direction of the session initiation. To allow ping from any wired station to wireless clients but not vice versa, a session-based ACL should be used to deny icmp echo traffic from any source to any destination, and then permit icmp echo-reply traffic from any source to user destination. The user role represents wireless clients in AOS 10.

Q105. You are configuring an SVI on an Aruba CX switch that needs to have the following characteristics:
* VLANID = 25
. IPv4 address 10 105 43 1 with mask 255 255 255.0
* IPv6 address fd00:5708::f02d:4df6 with a 64 bit prefix length
* member of VRF eng
* VRF eng and VLAN 25 have not yet been created
Which command lists will satisfy the requirements with the least number of commands?

The other options either use more commands or do not create the VRF or the VLAN.
Option C uses the following commands:
* vrf eng: This command creates a VRF named eng and enters the VRF configuration mode1.
* vlan 25: This command creates a VLAN with ID 25 and enters the VLAN configuration mode2.
* interface vlan 25: This command creates an SVI on VLAN 25 and enters the interface configuration mode3.
* ip address 10.105.43.1/24 ipv6 address fd00:5780::102d:4df6/64 vrf attach eng: This command assigns an IPv4 address of 10.105.43.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and an IPv6 address of fd00:5780::
102d:4df6 with a prefix length of 64 to the SVI, and attaches it to the VRF eng.

Q106. Your Director of Security asks you to assign AOS-CX switch management roles to new employees based on their specific job requirements. After the configuration was complete, it was noted that a user assigned with the administrator’s role did not have the appropriate level of access on the switch.
The user was not limited to viewing nonsensitive configuration information and a level of 1 was not assigned to their role. Which default management role should have been assigned for the user?

sysadmin

operators

helpdesk

config

The operators user role is a predefined role that allows users to view nonsensitive configuration information on the switch, such as interfaces, VLANs, routing protocols, statistics, and more. The operators user role has a privilege level of 1, which is the lowest level of access on the switch.
The administrators user role is a predefined role that has full access to all switch configuration information and all REST API methods. This role is more than what the Director of Security requires.

Q107. Describe the difference between Class of Service (CoS) and Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP).

CoS is only used to determine CLASS of traffic DSCP is only used to differentiate between different Classes.

CoS is only contained in VLAN Tag fields DSCP is in the IP Header and preserved throughout the IP packet flow

They are similar and can be used interchangeably.

CoS has much finer granularity than DSCP

CoS and DSCP are both methods of marking packets for quality of service (QoS) purposes. QoS is a mechanism that allows network devices to prioritize and differentiate traffic based on certain criteria, such as application type, source, destination, etc. CoS stands for Class of Service and is a 3-bit field in the 802.1Q VLAN tag header. CoS can only be used on Ethernet frames that have a VLAN tag, and it can only be preserved within a single VLAN domain. DSCP stands for Differentiated Services Code Point and is a 6-bit field in the IP header. DSCP can be used on any IP packet, regardless of the underlying layer 2 technology, and it can be preserved throughout the IP packet flow, unless it is modified by intermediate devices.

Q108. List the firewall role derivation flow in the correct order

Explanation
According to the Aruba Documentation Portal1, the firewall role derivation flow in the correct order is:
* Server derived role
* User derived role
* Authentication default role
* Initiation role assigned

Q109. Refer to the output from a CX 6100 switch:

What is the correct detail that can be observed from the output above?

The dBm values for Tx are too high and affect Rx signals.

The dBm values for Rx are too low, indicating that the link is down.

The dBm values for Rx are within acceptable values, and the link is up.

The dbm values for T are too far away from 0, and the link is down.
