B
Question 5
An access layer AOS-CX has no OoS configuration on it. The switch receives an 802.1Q tagged VoIP

Question 6
Examine the configuration of Core-1 and Core-2. AOS-CX switches configured as a VSX stack:
Core1: Interlace lag 256
no shutdown
no routing
vlan trunk allowed all
lacp mode active Interface 1/1/46
no shutdown
lag 256 Interface 1/1/47
no shutdown
lag 256
VSX
Inter-switch-link lag 256
vsx-sync vsx-global
exit
Cofe2: interlace lag 250
no shutdown
no routing
vlan trunk allowed all
lacp mode active
Interlace 1/1/46
no shutdown
lag 256 Interface 1/1/47
no shutdown
lag 256 vsx
inter-switch-link lag 256
exit
When using the "show vsx status" command, the two switches fall to connect and successfully
synchronize. What should the administrator do to fix this issue?

- B. Access the switches' web user interface
- C. Use Aruba Central's web user interface
- D. Use the NetEdit web user interface
Answer:
B
Question 8
A company has recently purchased a ClearPass AAA solution. Their network consists of AOS-CX
switches at the access layer. The company is implementing a rollout of IoT devices for smart building
management to control the lighting and HVAC systems. The network administrator is concerned
about allowing secure access to these devices since they only support MAC-Auth.
Which ClearPass feature should the administrator leverage to help determine that MAC address
spoofing is not occurring for this group of devices?
- A. User-based tunneling
- B. Device fingerprinting
- C. RADIUS change of authorization
- D. Downloadable user roles
Answer:
B
Question 9
A network administrator is tasked to set up BGP in the company's network. The administrator is
defining an eBGP peering between an AOS-CX switch and a directly-connected service provider. The
administrator has configured the following on the AOS-CX switch:
However, when using the "show bgp all summary" command, the state does not display
"Established" for the eBGP peer. What must the administrator configure to fix this issue?
- A. router bgp 64500 neighbor 192.168.1.1 ebgp-multihop
- B. router bgp 64500 enable
- C. router bgp 64500 address-family ipv4 unicast neighbor 192.168.1.1 activate
- D. router bgp 64500 neighbor 192.168.1.1 update-source loopback0
Answer:
C
Question 10
MAC authentication is enabled on port 1/1/27 of an AOS-CX switch. The following MAC addresses
are defined on the AAA server:
* 88:3a:30:97:b6:00
* 00:50:56:b1:fc:9b
Examine the AOS-CX switch output:
Based on this information, what is true concerning port 1/1/27?
- A. Device-mode is enabled with a client limit of 1.
- B. Device-mode is enabled with a client limit of 2.
- C. Client-mode is enabled with a client limit of 1.
- D. Client-mode is enabled with a client limit of 2.
Answer:
C

6400/Content/Chp_Port_acc/Port_acc_rol_cmds/aut-mod-fl-10.htm
client-mode = Selects client mode. In this mode, all clients connecting to the port are sent for
authentication.
device-mode = Selects device mode. In this mode, only the first client connecting to the port is sent
for authentication. Once this client is authenticated, the port is considered as open and all
subsequent clients trying to connect on that port are not sent for authentication.
Question 11
An administrator is designing an access layer solution in a data center. A key requirement is to dual-
home mission-critical server connections to two different switches, ensuring that the servers always
have network access, even during switch software upgrades. This feature should support strictly-
controlled provisioning.
What would best meet the administrator's needs when deploying AOS-CX switches?
- A. VSF
- B. Dynamic segmentation
- C. VSX
- D. NAE
Answer:
A
Question 12
What is true regarding VSX and keepalives on AOS-CX switches?
- A. A separate VLAN on the ISL link is used.
- B. A VSX LAG for the keepalives is a best practice.
- C. The OOBM port must be used.
- D. A 1GbE or faster port is used.
Answer:
D
Question 13
What is the purpose of the transit VLAN when implementing dynamic segmentation policies
involving AOS-CX switches and an Aruba gateway solution?
- A. It identifies the VLAN that the user traffic will be assigned to when it comes out of the tunnel and is forwarded by the gateway.
- B. It identifies the VLAN that the user traffic will be assigned to, whether the traffic is tunneled or locally switched
- C. It defines the VXLAN identifier to identified UBT traffic between the AOS-CX switches and the gateway solution
- D. It identifies the VLAN that the switch will use when tunneling the traffic to the gateway
Answer:
D
Question 14
What would prevent two OSPF routers from forming an adjacency? (Select two.)

- B. Different area types
- C. Different MTU sizes
- D. Different IP addresses
- E. Different router IDs
Answer:
BC
Question 15
A network engineer is setting up BGP on AOS-CX switches. The engineer is establishing two different
eBGP peering’s to two different service providers. The engineer has dozens of contiguous C-class
public networks that need to be advertised to the two service providers. The engineer manually
defines the networks to be advertised individually with the "network" command.
How can an administrator advertise only a summarized route to the two service providers?
- A. Create a summarized static route and redistribute this into OSPR
- B. Summarize the networks with the "aggregate-address" BGP command
- C. Enable auto-summarization in the IPv4 address family of the BGP configuration

B
