Which statements regarding Aruba NAE agents are true? (Select two)


A. A single NAE script can be used by multiple NAE agents


B. NAE agents are active at all times


C. NAE agents will never consume more than 10% of switch processor resources


D. NAE scripts must be reviewed and signed by Aruba before being used


E. A single NAE agent can be used by multiple NAE scripts.





A.
  A single NAE script can be used by multiple NAE agents

C.
  NAE agents will never consume more than 10% of switch processor resources

Explanation:
The statements that are true regarding Aruba NAE agents are A and C.

A. A single NAE script can be used by multiple NAE agents. This means that you can create different instances of the same script with different parameters or settings. For example, you can use the same script to monitor different VLANs or interfaces on the switch1.

C. NAE agents will never consume more than 10% of switch processor resources. This is a built-in safeguard that prevents the agents from affecting the switch performance or stability. If an agent exceeds the 10% limit, it will be automatically disabled and an alert will be generated2.

The other options are incorrect because:

B. NAE agents are not active at all times. They can be enabled or disabled by the user, either manually or based on a schedule. They can also be disabled automatically if they encounter an error or exceed the resource limit1.
D. NAE scripts do not need to be reviewed and signed by Aruba before being used. You can create your own custom scripts using Python and upload them to the switch or Aruba Central. You can also use the scripts provided by Aruba or other sources, as long as they are compatible with the switch firmware version1.
E. A single NAE agent cannot be used by multiple NAE scripts. An agent is an instance of a script that runs on the switch. Each agent can only run one script at a time1.

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.


A. ip access-list session pingFromWired any user any permit


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


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


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





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

Explanation: 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.

How do you allow a new VLAN 100 between VSX pair inter-switch-link 256 for port 1/45 and 2/45?


A. vlan trunk allowed 100 for ports 1/45 and 1/46


B. vlan trunk add 100 in LAG256


C. vlan trunk allowed 100 in LAG256


D. vlan trunk add 100 in MLAG256





C.
  vlan trunk allowed 100 in LAG256

Explanation: To allow a new VLAN 100 between VSX pair inter-switch-link 256 for port 1/45 and 2/45, you need to use the command vlan trunk allowed 100 in LAG256. This will add VLAN 100 to the list of allowed VLANs on the trunk port LAG256, which is part of the inter-switch-link between VSX peers. The other options are incorrect because they either do not use the correct command or do not specify the correct port or VLAN.

You need to drop excessive broadcast traffic on an ingress port or an ArubaOS-CX switch. What is the best feature to use for this task?


A. DWRR queuing


B. Strict queuing


C. Rate limiting


D. QoS shaping





C.
  Rate limiting

Explanation: According to the Aruba Documentation Portal1, the ArubaOS-CX switch supports various features to control the ingress traffic on specific ports, such as rate limiting, QoS shaping, and access control. These features can help reduce the impact of excessive broadcast traffic on the network performance and availability.
This is because rate limiting is a feature that allows you to limit the inbound or outbound traffic on a port based on a percentage of the port capacity or a fixed amount of bytes per second. Rate limiting can help prevent broadcast storms by reducing the amount of broadcast packets that enter or leave a port.

By default, Best Effort is higher priority than which priority traffic type?


A. All queues


B. Background


C. Internet Control


D. Network Control





B.
  Background

Explanation: This is because Best Effort traffic is all other kinds of non-detrimental traffic that are not sensitive to Quality of Service metrics (jitter, packet loss, latency). A typical example would be peer-to-peer and email applications2. Background traffic is a type of traffic that is used for system maintenance or backup purposes and does not affect the performance or availability of the network3.
Therefore, Best Effort traffic has a higher priority than Background traffic in terms of network resources allocation and management.

A company deployed Dynamic Segmentation with their CX switches and Gateways After performing a security audit on their network, they discovered that the tunnels built between the CX switch and the Aruba Gateway are not encrypted. The company is concerned that bad actors could try to insert spoofed messages on the Gateway to disrupt communications or obtain information about the network.
Which action must the administrator perform to address this situation?


A. Enable Secure Mode Enhanced


B. Enable Enhanced security


C. Enable Enhanced PAPI security


D. Enable GRE security





C.
  Enable Enhanced PAPI security

Explanation: PAPI is the protocol that is used to establish tunnels between the CX switch and the Aruba Gateway for Dynamic Segmentation1. By default, PAPI uses a simple checksum to verify the integrity of the messages, but it does not encrypt the payload2. This could expose the network to spoofing or replay attacks by malicious actors. To address this situation, the administrator must enable Enhanced PAPI security, which uses AES-256 encryption and HMAC-SHA1 authentication to protect the tunnel traffic2. Enhanced PAPI security can be enabled on the CX switch by using the command system papi enhanced-security enable3. This will ensure that the tunnels built between the CX switch and the Aruba Gateway are encrypted and authenticated.

A new network design is being considered to minimize client latency in a high-density environment. The design needs to do this by eliminating contention overhead by dedicating subcarriers to clients. Which technology is the best match for this use case?


A. OFDMA


B. MU-MIMO


C. QWMM


D. Channel Bonding





A.
  OFDMA

Explanation: OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) is a technology that can minimize client latency in a high-density environment by eliminating contention overhead by dedicating subcarriers to clients. OFDMA allows multiple clients to transmit simultaneously on different subcarriers within the same channel, reducing contention and increasing efficiency. MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output) is a technology that allows multiple clients to transmit simultaneously on different spatial streams within the same channel, but it does not eliminate contention overhead. QWMM (Quality of Service Wireless Multimedia) is a technology that prioritizes traffic based on four access categories, but it does not eliminate contention overhead. Channel Bonding is a technology that combines two adjacent channels into one wider channel, increasing bandwidth but not eliminating contention overhead.

On AOS10 Gateways, which device persona is only available when configuring a Gateway-only group'?


A. Edge


B. Mobility


C. Branch


D. VPN Concentrator





B.
  Mobility

Explanation: AOS 10 Gateways can have the following personas: Mobility, Branch, and VPN Concentrator1 However, the Mobility persona is only available when configuring a Gateway-only group, which is a group that contains only one gateway device2 The Mobility persona provides Overlay WLAN and (or) wired LAN functionalities for campus networks1 The Branch persona provides the Aruba Instant OS and SD-Branch (LAN + WAN) functionality for branch and microbranch networks1 The VPN Concentrator persona provides VPN termination and routing functionality for remote access networks3 The Edge persona is not a valid option, as it is not a supported device persona for AOS 10 Gateways.

Which Aruba AP mode is sending captured RF data to Aruba Central for waterfall plot?


A. Hybrid Mode


B. Air Monitor


C. Spectrum Monitor


D. Dual Mode





C.
  Spectrum Monitor

Explanation: Spectrum Monitor is an Aruba AP mode that is sending captured RF data to Aruba Central for waterfall plot. Spectrum Monitor is a mode that allows an AP to scan all channels in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and collect information about the RF environment, such as interference sources, noise floor, channel utilization, etc. The AP then sends this data to Aruba Central, which is a cloud-based network management platform that can display the data in various formats, including waterfall plot. Waterfall plot is a graphical representation of the RF spectrum over time, showing the frequency, amplitude, and duration of RF signals. The other options are incorrect because they are either not AP modes or not sending RF data to Aruba Central.

What is enabled by LLDP-MED? (Select two.)


A. Voice VLANs can be automatically configured for VoIP phones


B. APs can request power as needed from PoE-enabled switch ports


C. iSCSl client devices can request to have flow control enabled


D. GVRP VLAN information can be used to dynamically add VLANs to a trunk


E. iSCSl client devices can set the required MTU setting for the port.





A.
  Voice VLANs can be automatically configured for VoIP phones

B.
  APs can request power as needed from PoE-enabled switch ports

Explanation: These are two benefits enabled by LLDP-MED (Link Layer Discovery Protocol - Media Endpoint Discovery). LLDP-MED is an extension of LLDP that provides additional capabilities for network devices such as VoIP phones and APs. One of the capabilities is to automatically configure voice VLANs for VoIP phones, which allows them to be placed in a separate VLAN from data devices and receive QoS and security policies. Another capability is to request power as needed from PoE-enabled switch ports, which allows APs to adjust their power consumption and performance based on the available power budget. The other options are incorrect because they are either not enabled by LLDP-MED or not related to LLDP-MED.
