HP Exam HPE7-A03 Topic 3 Question 37 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A03 exam
Question #: 37
Topic #: 3
[All HPE7-A03 Questions]

A large multinational financial institution has contracted you to design a new full-stack wired and wireless network for their new 6-story regional office building. The bottom two floors of this facility will be retail space for a large banking branch. The upper floors will be carpeted office space for corporate users, each floor being approximately 100.000 sq ft (9290 sqm). Data centers are all off site and will be out of scope for this project. The customer is underserved by its existing L2-based network infrastructure and would like to take advantage of modern best practices in the new design. The network should be fully resilient and fault-tolerant, with dynamic segmentation at the edge.

The retail space will include public guest Wi-Fi access. Retail associates will have corporate tablets for customer service, and there will be a mix of wired and wireless devices throughout the retail floors. The corporate users will primarily use wireless for connectivity, but several wired clients, printers, and hard VoIP phones will be in use.

The customer is also planning on renovating the corporate office space in order to take advantage of "smart office' technology. These improvements will drive blue-dot wayfinding. presence analytics, and other location-based services

The client is looking to utilize lower-cost Aruba OS-CX switches in their wiring closets. They calculate that each closet will need a stack or qty 6 POE (AT) and qty 0 Gigabit Ethernet switches stacked with low-cost OACs.

Which series switch should you recommend?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The Aruba CX 6300F series is a suitable recommendation for the described scenario due to its performance, PoE capabilities, and cost-effectiveness for wiring closet deployments. The CX 6300F series offers the flexibility and scalability needed for modern network environments, supporting both wired and wireless connectivity demands. It provides advanced features such as stackability, high-density PoE options, and the capability to support dynamic segmentation, which is essential for separating and securing different types of network traffic, such as corporate data and guest Wi-Fi access. This series is designed to meet the needs of a full-stack wired and wireless network in a large, multi-story office building, providing the necessary infrastructure for both current and future network requirements.

This is a tricky one. The client has a lot of specific requirements, and I want to make sure I recommend the right switch series to meet their needs. I'll need to closely examine the details about the retail and corporate spaces, the device types, and the smart office features to determine the best Aruba CX solution.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. There are a lot of details to consider - the different types of spaces, the mix of wired and wireless devices, the smart office tech integration. I'll need to carefully review the requirements and compare the switch series to make sure I recommend the best fit.
