HPE7-A03 Exam - Topic 3 Question 40 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A03 exam
Question #: 40
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 decides that they would like for all of their exposed printer, conference room, and VoIP phone

connections to be controlled by a stateful firewall

What could be planned to ensure that these ports will meet the customer's requirements?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

To control exposed printer, conference room, and VoIP phone connections with a stateful firewall, utilizing Tunneled Node functionality would be effective. Tunneled Node allows for the encapsulation of wired Ethernet traffic into a user-based tunnel, similar to how wireless traffic is handled. This means that traffic from these devices can be sent through a centralized controller where stateful firewall policies can be applied. This setup ensures that the specific ports used by these devices are subjected to the same level of security scrutiny and policy enforcement as wireless traffic, aligning with the client's requirements for a secure and controlled network environment.

Wait, are they really using a stateful firewall for printers? Seems overkill.

I think Multi-Zone is the way to go for segmentation.

Haha, "smart office technology" - I wonder if that includes a coffee machine that orders its own refills.

A) Tunneled Node is interesting, but I'm not sure it's the best fit for this scenario.

B) Multi-Zone could also work, as it provides segmentation and security between different zones of the network.

C) Airgroup seems like the right choice here. It allows for controlled access to shared network resources like printers and phones.

I recall that a stateful firewall is crucial for security, but I’m not clear if Tunneled Node is relevant here. I need to think this through more.

Alright, let's see. The customer wants a stateful firewall to control the exposed ports, and they're looking to take advantage of modern best practices. I'm thinking the Multi-Zone option might be the way to go here, but I'll need to double-check the details.

This is a tricky one. The customer has a lot of specific requirements, from the retail space to the corporate offices. I'm going to need to really dive into the details to figure out the best solution that meets all of their needs.

Okay, the key things I'm seeing are the need for wired and wireless connectivity, support for smart office technology, and securing exposed ports. I think I'll start by looking at the Airgroup option since that seems relevant for the printer, conference room, and VoIP phone connections.

I’m a bit confused about the options. I thought Airgroup was more about device discovery rather than controlling access.

This question feels similar to one we practiced on firewalls and access control. I think Multi-Zone might be the right choice for managing different device types.
