HPE Network Campus Access Professional Architect Sample Questions:

1. ACME retail has 38 locations spread out across five US states and two provinces in Canada.
They are looking to grow 20% over the next two years. They have an HQ with a staff of 200 employees. The organization has eight Regional Managers and two VPs who work from home and the road. Stores typically have 17 employees on average per location.
The two warehouses have a remote loading system and 20 employees each to load the trucks and fulfill the online orders. The warehouse has 40-foot ceilings and large metal racks to store inventory. The main location is 240K sq ft (22300 sq m) and the Canadian warehouse is 130K sq ft (12100 sq m). The forklifts on the loading docks are equipped with a wireless tablet on board.
A typical store is reportedly about 60,000 sq ft (5575 sq m) and smaller stores are planned at
25,000 sq ft (2320 sq m). The locations need to expand the abilities to vendors that need to add setup displays or interactive kiosks in the stores. The current infrastructure was installed in 2015 and used wireless N technology in a coverage model. The wiring is Cat5, and they are unsure of the fiber connections. The inventory is all placed on the floor when it is delivered to the local store.
Inventory control is handled through Zebra barcode scanners, and they have had a lot of issues in getting signals throughout the stores and this makes monthly inventory difficult. The organization has a small help desk to troubleshoot issues that happen at the retail locations and PC support for the office. The company is looking to upgrade away from the current PBX system later this year. With the need to grow and cut costs, they are interested in moving the data to the cloud but need to get almost real-time inventory control for the online service to function.
The network has all been wired over the last ten years, but with the new systems being all wireless, they have seen the trend to offer wireless to all the vendors for their needs but also would be to allow employees, guests, and contractors all to use it. With the new IT director starting next week, the project has been set by the CTO of the company. The marketing group has asked how they can interact with the customers and get more info, while the IT support desk needs to cut staff in half.
The office has an MDF and two IDFs located on floors one and two. The MDF is in the basement, and you have multiple WAN circuits for the HQ links. Each store has a local handoff from the cable company (ethernet) in the middle of the store in the office, so distance for the wiring is not an issue.
The customer has budget concerns but does want something that could last 7+ years.
Based on the best practices and customer requirements, what is the correct WLAN approach?

A) Instant OS8 deployment
B) OS10 AP and gateway deployment
C) OS10 AP only deployment
D) OS8 campus deployment

2. 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) Does the existing wired network support enough drops for an upgraded Wi-Fi Network?
B) Who Is the campus switch vendor?
C) What type or fiber connection it used between the core and access layer switches?
D) Is there enough cooling in the MDF?

3. XYZ Regional Hospital is an integrated healthcare system of hospitals, neighborhood health centers, and small doctor offices. XYZ Regional Hospital has recently merged with 4x neighborhood health centers and 125 doctor branch offices. The wireless, wired access, and AAA solutions are outdated and need to be replaced.
XYZ Regional Hospital is looking to future-proof and improve efficiency across all sites by enhancing wired and wireless access and migrating to a centralized and unified wired/wireless and policy management that can provide uninterrupted availability of all systems.
Locations:
- XYZ Regional Hospital is located in New York City
- Dila Health Center is located in City A- Mount Health Center is located in City B
- Rock Health Center is located in City C
- Branch clinics are located at different locations across the United States Requirements:
- Provide, via management software, one single pane of glass to manage wired and wireless LANs, and VPNs across campus, branch, and remote via web/cloud architecture providing near real-time insight, troubleshooting tools, and Service Level performance reporting.
- Seamless integration across wired, wireless, WAN, SD-Branch, IoT
- Provide secure wireless access to all the employees of the Regional Hospital and partners, as well as provide wireless Internet access to medical citizens when they visit our facilities.
- All-access points must support the following features and specifications: 802.11 ax (Wi-Fi 6E Certified)
- Security options including WP2/WPA3, 802.1X with Radius secure authentication
- Identify and authenticate every wireless and wired device
- End-to-end role-based security
- Seamless mobility across the hospital for medical teams, patients, and visitors
- Cuts Wi-Fi deployment times from days to hours and enables Zero-Touch deployments across the site
- Establishes a resilient, future-ready network infrastructure with the intelligence, scalability, and intuitive toolsets to meet emerging needs
- Fully redundant branch solution with dynamic path selection to the hospital XYZ Regional Hospital recently acquired a new outpatient building located 900 feet (275 meters) from the main hospital with a clear line of sight but no feasible fiber connection between the two buildings.
The design requirements are as follows:
- Extend existing wireless SSIDs to the outpatient building.
- Cloud management for all wired and wireless devices across both buildings.
Which combination of products should the Network Architect recommend?

A) AOS-10 AP mesh and AOS-CX switches with foundation subscriptions
B) AOS-10 AP mesh, HPE Aruba Networking AirWave, and AOS-CX switches
C) Instant AOS-8 AP mesh and AOS-CX switches with advanced subscriptions
D) HPE Aruba Networking cellular bridges and AOS-CX switches with foundation subscriptions

4. 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) The customer is willing to migrate to one of the following cloud identity platforms: Microsoft IntuneID, CloudScape Workspace.
B) The customer client supplicants support MS-TEAP with an inner method of EAP-PKI based authentication.
C) The customer is willing to integrate ClearPass Device Insight with AD Domain Services synchronization agent.
D) The customer is willing to phase out non-EAP-TLS clients, allowing MAC-auth only for limited legacy devices.
E) The customer client supplicants support certificate based Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security.
