HPE6-A85 Exam - Topic 7 Question 32 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE6-A85 exam

Question #: 32
Topic #: 7

A network technician is testing a new SSID for a branch office. They are able to connect, get an IP address, and resolve DNS names. However, they are not able to browse the internet.

On the existing SSID at the branch, connectivity to the internet works as expected on the same VLAN as the new SSID. The wireless client should have received a new role to allow internet access.

What should the network technician verify to ensure both SSIDs function in a similar way?

AVerify each SSID's authentication and encryption parameters are enabled and the same.

BVerify that the implicit 'deny all' is the last entry in the firewall policies.

CVerify the new SSID is broadcasting on all the APs at the branch office.

DVerify the firewall policies assigned, making sure the rules are correct and ordered properly.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

When a network technician encounters an issue where a new SSID does not allow internet access despite successful connectivity and DNS resolution, they should verify the firewall policies associated with the new SSID. The firewall policies must include rules that permit traffic to and from the internet and should be correctly ordered to ensure that they are applied as intended. Since the existing SSID functions correctly, comparing the firewall rules between the two can be a useful method of troubleshooting.

Isn't it possible the new SSID just isn't set to allow internet access?

Wait, how can they get an IP but not browse? That's weird.

I definitely recall that the new SSID needs to be properly configured on all APs, but I wonder if the firewall rules could be the real culprit for the internet access problem.

I feel like checking the authentication and encryption settings could also be relevant, but I’m not entirely confident that’s the main issue here.

I think we had a similar practice question about SSIDs and internet access. Verifying the firewall policies sounds like a good step to take.

I remember we discussed the importance of firewall policies in class, but I'm not sure if the order of the rules really matters in this case.

This seems straightforward enough. I'd start by verifying the authentication and encryption settings, as that's the most likely culprit. If that checks out, then I'd move on to the firewall policies to make sure the internet access is properly configured.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. First, I'd check the SSID broadcast settings to make sure the new SSID is being advertised on all the APs. Then I'd dig into the firewall policies to ensure the rules are properly configured and ordered.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. The question mentions the client is getting an IP address and resolving DNS, so the basic network connectivity seems to be working. I'd focus on checking the firewall policies to see if there's an issue with internet access.

This looks like a pretty straightforward wireless connectivity issue. I'd start by verifying the authentication and encryption settings on the new SSID to make sure they match the existing one.
