HPE7-A01 Exam - Topic 5 Question 3 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A01 exam

Question #: 3
Topic #: 5

You are working on a network where the customer has a dedicated router with redundant Internet connections Tor outbound high-importance real-time audio streams from their datacenter All of this traffic.

* originates from a single subnet

* uses a unique range of UDP ports

* is required to be routed to the dedicated router

All other traffic should route normally The SVI for the subnet containing the servers originating the traffic is located on the core routing switch in the datacenter What should be configured?

AConfigure a new OSPF area including both the core routing switch and the dedicated router

BConfigure a BGP link between the core routing switch and the dedicated router and route filtering.

CConfigure Policy Based Routing (PBR) on the core routing switch for the VRF with the servers' SVI

DConfigure a dedicated VRF on the core routing switch and make the dedicated router the default route.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The reason is that PBR allows you to route packets based on policies that match certain criteria, such as source or destination IP addresses, ports, protocols, etc. PBR can also be used to set metrics, next-hop addresses, or tag traffic for different routes.

Not sure about the dedicated VRF option; seems unnecessary.

Definitely need to route that UDP traffic properly.

Surprised they didn't mention VLANs for isolation!

I think BGP might be overkill here.

Sounds like PBR is the way to go for this setup.

BGP sounds familiar, but I’m not confident it’s the right choice for this scenario. I feel like PBR might be more straightforward for this traffic.

I practiced a similar question where we had to configure a VRF. It seems like that could be a good option here too.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about OSPF areas. Would that help with routing the audio streams?

I think we might need to use Policy Based Routing since we have to direct specific UDP traffic to the dedicated router.

Got it, I think I see the solution here. Since the audio traffic is coming from a single subnet, we can use PBR on the core switch to route that specific traffic to the dedicated router, while letting everything else route normally. Option C looks like the way to go.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options all seem plausible, but I'm not sure which one best fits the specific details provided. I'll need to re-read the question carefully and think through the pros and cons of each approach.

Ah, this is a classic network segmentation and traffic engineering problem. I'm pretty sure the answer is C - configuring Policy Based Routing (PBR) on the core switch to handle the special audio traffic requirements.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The key details seem to be the single subnet, unique UDP port range, and requirement to route the audio traffic to the dedicated router. I think I'll need to use some kind of policy-based routing to handle this.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the requirements around the dedicated router, redundant internet connections, and the need to route the real-time audio traffic separately.

Hmm, I'm a little confused on the difference between the backup types. I'll have to think this through carefully. Maybe I should review my notes on backup strategies before answering.

This seems like a straightforward question about network performance metrics. I'll focus on the key factors mentioned in the scenario - call quality, file transfers, and application access.

I think decreasing royalty costs could lead to a reduction in factory costs, like in some similar practice questions we did.

Hmm, the wording is a bit confusing. I'll need to think through the relationship between the hypervisor and the cloud characteristic of multitenancy to determine if the statement is true or false.
