Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A03 exam
Question #: 2
Topic #: 3
[All HPE7-A03 Questions]

A global cruise line company needs to refresh its current fleet. They win refresh the insides' of the ship to be cost-effective and increase their sustain ability. They Mill replace the complete WLAN/LAN hardware of the ship. In this refresh, the company will not refresh Us current security requirements. The CIO also wants to limit the number of unused ports in the switches. Future expansion will always mean a refresh of hardware. They start with the smallest ship with a maximum of 800 guests

Each ship has a LAN infrastructure consisting of two core switches, up to 10 redundant distribution switches, and up to 500 access switches (400 cabins. 100 technical rooms). The Core switches are located in the MDF of the ship and the distribution switches are located in the IDFs of the ship. Each cabin and technical room gets one single access switch.

The cabling structure of the ship will not be refreshed. Each IDF is connected to the MDF by SMF. of which two pairs are available for the interconnect between the core and distribution. The length of SM fiber between MDF and IDF is less than 300 meters (930 ft) and the type used is 0S1. Each cabin is connected by a single 0M2 pair to the IDF. the maximum length is 60 meters (200 ft). Each technical room is connected by a single 0M2 pail to the IDF. with lengths between 100 and 150 meters (320 and 500 ft).

For each cabin/technical room the customer is looking to replace their current fan-less 2530/2540 without changing the requirements, except they need to upgrade the uplink to distribution switch to 10GbEto handle the increased network traffic, and the technical rooms need redundant power.

The WLAN infrastructure will be 1:1 refreshed without new cabling or new AP locations. Their WLAN Infrastructure is based on the 200/300 series Indoor and outdoor APs running instantOS (less than 300 APs). the customer has no change in WLAN requirements.

The cruise line company will replace its current Internet connection before the LAN/WLAN refresh. The new Internet connection will provide a 99.8% uptime, which is needed to ensure the paid guest Wi-Fi is always operational. With this new internet connection, the CIO of the cruise line wants to base the design on the ESP architecture from Aruba because Internet connection is guaranteed.

Based on the best practices and customer requirements, what is the correct WUN approach?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Given the customer's specific requirements to refresh their WLAN infrastructure without changing the cabling or AP locations and their existing infrastructure based on the 200/300 series Indoor and outdoor APs running InstantOS, the most appropriate WLAN approach is an Instant OS 6 deployment. This choice aligns with the need to upgrade without significant changes to the existing WLAN setup. InstantOS is specifically designed for Aruba Instant APs, offering a streamlined, controller-less architecture that is ideal for the customer's scenario, ensuring ease of deployment, management, and scalability. This approach supports the customer's objectives for a cost-effective and sustainable refresh, providing robust and reliable wireless connectivity for guests while adhering to the current security requirements and infrastructure constraints.

Based on the details, I think the Aruba OSS campus deployment could be a good fit, but I need to double-check the specifics about the current APs and their compatibility.

I feel a bit uncertain about the ArubaOS10 AP only deployment. It seems like a big shift from what they currently have, and I’m not sure if it meets the criteria.

This question seems similar to one we practiced about upgrading APs while keeping the same OS. I think Instant OS 6 might be the right choice since they want to keep the current WLAN requirements.
