HPE6-A86 Exam Dumps - HPE Network Switching Associate Exam

The correct answer is D. CX 8400. The requirement asks for a chassis solution, 100G speeds to the aggregation layer, and a maximum size of 10U. HPE Aruba Networking describes the CX 8400 as a core and aggregation switch with line-rate 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE connectivity in a compact 8-slot chassis. The installation guide also identifies the CX 8400 as an eight-slot chassis platform for core and aggregation switching. This satisfies both the 100G requirement and the physical-size requirement because 8U is below the 10U maximum. The CX 10000, CX 9300, and CX 8360 are fixed-form-factor platforms rather than chassis solutions, so they do not match the customer’s chassis requirement. Therefore, the best initial proposal from the listed options is the HPE Aruba Networking CX 8400.

The correct answer is D. 3311. HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX documentation identifies valid VLAN IDs as being in the range of 1 to 4094 for VLAN-related configuration, including access VLANs and trunk/native VLANs. Because 3311 falls inside the valid configurable VLAN ID range, it is the only valid option listed. Option A, 4096, is invalid because it is above the supported VLAN ID range. Option B, 0, is invalid because configurable VLAN IDs begin at 1. Option C, 32768, is far outside the supported VLAN ID range and cannot be configured as a VLAN ID on a CX switch. This question tests the standard IEEE 802.1Q VLAN ID range as applied in HPE Aruba Networking CX configuration. The supported configurable VLAN range is 1 through 4094, with VLAN 1 commonly used as the default VLAN and VLAN IDs such as 3311 available for administrator-defined VLANs.

The correct answer is A. CX 6400. The requirement calls for a chassis-based core switch that can scale to a 12U chassis and support 100G speeds toward the aggregation layer. HPE Aruba Networking CX 6400 QuickSpecs identify the CX 6400 as a modular switch family and include the larger CX 6410 chassis option, which is a 10-slot chassis platform. HPE also lists CX 6400 40/100GbE QSFP28 line modules, which provide the required 100G connectivity. This makes CX 6400 the correct fit for a chassis solution that can scale to the requested physical size and provide 100G uplinks. The CX 10000, CX 9300, and CX 8325 are fixed-form-factor platforms, not modular chassis solutions, so they do not match the stated chassis requirement. Therefore, the best initial proposal is the HPE Aruba Networking CX 6400.

The correct answer is A. CX 6300. The configuration shown uses OSPFv2 with a process ID, redistribution of connected routes, and a route map. HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX IP Routing documentation for the CX 6300 and related higher CX platforms includes OSPFv2 routing commands such as router ospf and redistribute connected route-map. The same command documentation shows redistribution into OSPF with a route map as a supported configuration. By contrast, the AOS-CX IP Routing Guide for lower platforms such as the 4100i, 6000, and 6100 includes OSPF command information showing platform support for OSPF on 5420 and 6200, not on the 4100i, 6000, or 6100. Therefore, from the choices provided, the CX 6300 is the switch family that supports creating this OSPF redistribution configuration. The CX 6000 and CX 6100 are access-layer switches and are not the correct choice for this OSPF route redistribution example.

The correct answer is D. When 10.1.251.2 is no longer in the routing table. The configuration shows two static default routes to the same destination, 0.0.0.0/0. The first route uses the default administrative distance, while the second route has a higher administrative distance of 10, making it a floating static route. HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX documentation for static routing states that the distance option sets the administrative distance associated with a static route, with a default of 1 and a range of 1–255. Because lower administrative distance is preferred, the route through 10.1.251.2 remains active as long as it is valid in the routing table. The backup route through 10.1.252.2 becomes active only when the preferred route is removed or no longer installed. A remote upstream fiber break might not remove the directly reachable next hop from the routing table, which explains why failover did not occur. BFD tracking could improve failure detection, but the condition for this configured floating static route to take over is loss of the primary route from the routing table.
