'Don't Buy at Us' is a US-based retail company that is expanding Into Europe. They are expanding into EMEA with a regional headquarters called HQ2 inside The Netherlands. Their US- based headquarters HQ1 was refreshed last year based on the HPE Aruba Networking ESP architecture. You have created the design for HQ2 based on the same design as HQ1, a two-tier architecture. The high level is shown below.

Switch BOM for this project based on Two Tier:
Collapsed Core: 2 x 8360-16Y2C in VSX (ISL 2x100GbE DAC)
Access Stack: 10 x Stack of 6200F 48G Class4 PoE 4SFP+ 740W (each stack has 4 members, VSF with 10GbE VSF links) (2 x 10GbE uplink per stack) During the presentation of your design to the CTO of 'Don't Buy at Us' you were informed about the updated fiber infrastructure that Don't Buy at Us' has installed in HQ2.

The core stack is Installed in the MDF and per IDF there is one access stack installed. Based on best practice, what is the most cost-effective update to the switch BOM?

You are delivering a replacement collapsed core network proposal to the customer where the core switches will have the switched virtual interfaces (SVI) configured. The customer is not sure that a VSX pair of switches will be able to act as the spanning tree root in their environment.
Which options are true about spanning tree and VSX that will help assure the customer that a VSX pair of switches are appropriate for a collapsed core? (Choose two.)

What solution would meet the customer's requirements? (Choose three.)

Before beginning the design for HPE Aruba Networking Cloud Authentication at a distributed enterprise, you must gather information about the customer's existing identity infrastructure and endpoint capabilities. The customer has expressed interest in a cloud-native authentication solution, but you have to gather details about their identity infrastructure or endpoint capabilities.
As the network architect, you need to move forward with initial planning by documenting reasonable assumptions about their current environment and their readiness to support cloud- native authentication.
Which assumptions would be appropriate to include at this stage to guide your design process?
(Choose two.)

A global furniture retail company called 'No-Stair Inc.' requests you design their new WLAN infrastructure for a global footprint. Each location of 'No-Stair Inc." has a similar layout: three small manager offices, a warehouse, and a 'retail' area. The 'retail' area and the warehouse together amount to 95% of the location. The IT department of the company is minimally engaged in their LAN refresh so the CTO of the company has shared the information below.
Current WLAN Infrastructure is based on the 802.11n "WIFI4Less" access-points series (both model 2013-INT (2.4 only internal antenna) and model 2019-EXT (dual-band external antenna only). These AP models are standalone without any centralized management. Last year 'No-Stair Inc.' ran a project called 'secure-it' ensuring that all needed network security was implemented to be fully compliant with their security standards. During this project, they also upgraded the AAA.
Infrastructure to handle the increased AAA requests. No additional Wi-Fi or security requirements are listed for this WLAN refresh, which means that 'No-Stair Inc.' will continue to use bridged SSIDs, with local breakout into different VLANs.
The CTO of 'No-Stair Inc.' understands the need for you to ask additional questions to deliver the design. The questions may be sent in written form and will be answered within two weeks.
What additional question needs to be answered in order to collect needed information for the WLAN design?

A global cruise line company needs to refresh its current fleet. They will refresh the 'insides' of the ship to be cost-effective and increase their sustainability. They will replace the complete WLAN/LAN hardware of the ship. In this refresh, the company will not refresh its 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 (980 ft) and the type used is OS1. Each cabin is connected by a single OM2 pair to the IDF, the maximum length is 60 meters (200 ft). Each technical room is connected by a single OM2 pair 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 10GbE to 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 InstantOS (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 and customer requirements, which switch series should you recommend for the core?

Manufacturing ABC is an international, mid-sized company specializing in producing industrial equipment. They have been in the market for over two decades and have established themselves as a reputable player in their industry. However, due to rapid technological advancements, their current network infrastructure is outdated and struggling to keep up with the demands of modern manufacturing processes.
Manufacturing ABC's network is a mix of multi-vendor legacy wired and wireless components, causing frequent downtime and hampering their production efficiency. The aging equipment leads to slow data transfer rates, unreliable connectivity, and increased vulnerability to cyber threats.
Fiber Cabling should be also upgraded as mostly OM2 is being used.
Compounding the network issues, the recent departure of the CTO has left the company without a clear direction for the network refresh project. There is a lack of consensus among the management team regarding the scope, budget, and timeline for the upgrade.
The primary objectives of the manufacturing customer are as follows:
- Improve network performance and reliability to enhance production processes and minimize downtime
- Enhance network security to protect sensitive data and intellectual property
- Streamline communication and collaboration among different departments within the organization
- Ensure scalability to accommodate future growth and technology advancements Manufacturing ABC seeks a comprehensive network refresh that includes the following components:
- Upgrading the wired infrastructure to high-speed Ethernet switches to support increased data transfer rates and reduce latency
- Implementing a robust wireless solution with enterprise-grade access points to provide seamless connectivity across the manufacturing facility
- Centralized network management tools to simplify administration and monitoring of the network Expectations:
The customer expects the network refresh project to be handled efficiently, with minimal disruption to their ongoing operations. They are looking for a reliable and experienced network solutions provider who can understand their unique manufacturing requirements and deliver a customized solution that aligns with their budget constraints. The manufacturing customer is keen on receiving clear project proposals and support in decision-making, given the recent change of the CTO.
Your role as a network solutions provider is to address their concerns, offer expert guidance, and present a well-defined plan to meet their objectives effectively.
A manufacturing customer operates a 24/7 production facility and is concerned that the migration will disrupt the production chain.
What are two ways to minimize or eliminate this disruption? (Choose two.)
