HP Delta-Aruba Certified Switching Professional Sample Questions:
What is one difference between BPDU protection and root guard?
- A. BPDU protection works with RPVST+, RSTP, and MSTP. Root guard works with RSTP or MSTP, but not RPVST+.
- B. BPDU protection drops BPDUs received on a port, but does not block the port. Root guard blocks the port if it receives a BPDU.
- C. BPDU protection is typically implemented on edge ports, but root guard is typically implemented on uplinks with the root port role.
- D. BPDU protection blocks a port if it receives any BPDU, but root guard blocks a port only if the BPDU indicates a better root path.
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
Refer to the exhibit.
Why are these switches unable to achieve adjacency?
- A. The area range is incorrect on Switch-1 and missing on Switch-2.
- B. Switch-1 and Switch-2 use different area types for Area 1.
- C. They have the same priority and cannot elect a Designated Router (DR).
- D. Switch-2 does not support every area that Switch-1 does.
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
Refer to the exhibit.
Both Switch-1 and Switch-2 redistribute RIP routes into OSPF. The network administrator wants routers in Area 1 to receive the redistributed routes from Switch-1 but not from Switch-2. Routers in other areas should receive the routes from Switch-2.
What should the administrator do to achieve this goal?
- A. Configure a subnet range for Area 1 on Switch-2, and set the no-advertise option.
- B. Configure Area 1 as a stub area, with no summaries on Switch-2.
- C. Configure Area 1 as a stub area, and import the routes with a low metric on Switch-2.
- D. Configure Area 1 as a Not So Stubby Area (NSSA) on all routing devices in Area 1.
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
A network administrator needs to control traffic based on Ethertype and Class of Service. What should the administrator configure for this purpose?
- A. both a standard IP ACL and a standard MAC ACL
- B. an extended IP ACL only
- C. both a standard IP ACL and an extended MAC ACL
- D. an extended MAC ACL only
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
Which potential security issue does the captive portal URL hash key on an AOS-Switch help to prevent?
- A. unauthorized users to read the captive portal redirect URL in the AOS-Switch config
- B. users to change values in the URL that directs them to the captive portal
- C. unauthenticated guests to receive access before they log in to the captive portal
- D. hackers to eavesdrop on the RADIUS messages sent to ClearPass
