HPE7-A08 Exam - Topic 4 Question 8 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A08 exam

Question #: 8
Topic #: 4

A customer is installing CX 6300 switches, mobility gateways, and AP-635s. The customer's VoIP system uses both wired and wireless handsets. The handsets are configured to mark voice traffic using a DSCP value of 46. The wireless handsets connect to a bridged SSID using WPA3-SAE.

What will allow the switch to honor the QoS mark set by the handset?

AConfigure Voice Wi-Fi Multimedia Share for DSCP 46 on the voice SSID

BActivate UCC for the HPE Aruba Networking Central Group managing the APs

CEnable QoS trust DSCP

DEnable WMM on the voice SSID

I feel like activating UCC could help, but not as much as QoS trust.

I agree, QoS trust DSCP seems like the best choice here.

WMM is good, but QoS trust DSCP is more direct for honoring marks.

But what about WMM? Isn't that important too?

Not sure if just enabling WMM is enough for voice traffic.

Definitely need to enable QoS trust DSCP for that.

I bet the person who wrote this question has a wicked sense of humor. They're probably laughing at us struggling with these options.

B) Activate UCC for the HPE Aruba Networking Central Group managing the APs is not relevant to this scenario. UCC is for managing unified communications, not QoS on the switch.

D) Enable WMM on the voice SSID is not the right answer. WMM is for prioritizing voice traffic on the wireless network, not for the switch to honor the DSCP marking.

A) Configure Voice Wi-Fi Multimedia Share for DSCP 46 on the voice SSID is a good option, but it doesn't directly address the QoS trust on the switch.

C) Enable QoS trust DSCP is the correct answer. The switch needs to be configured to trust the DSCP value set by the handsets.

I’m leaning towards option C, enabling QoS trust DSCP, but I also remember that WMM is crucial for wireless voice traffic. It’s tough to choose!

I’m a bit confused about the options. I know DSCP 46 is for voice, but I can’t recall if we need to activate UCC for that to work properly.

This question feels similar to one we practiced where we had to configure QoS for VoIP traffic. I think enabling WMM on the voice SSID might be important too.

I think I remember something about enabling QoS trust for DSCP values, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right answer here.

I'm a bit unsure here. The question mentions both wired and wireless handsets, so I'm not sure if just enabling QoS trust DSCP is enough. Maybe we need to do something with the wireless side as well, like option D and enable WMM on the voice SSID.

I'm leaning towards option A. Since the wireless handsets are using a bridged SSID, we might need to configure the Voice Wi-Fi Multimedia Share for that DSCP value on that SSID to make sure the switch honors it.

Okay, let's think this through. The wireless handsets are using WPA3-SAE, so that's taken care of. And the question specifically says the handsets are marking the traffic with DSCP 46. I'd go with option C - enable QoS trust DSCP on the switch.

Definitely! It ensures the switch respects the DSCP values.

I think the key here is to make sure the switch is configured to trust the DSCP markings from the handsets. Option C looks like the right choice to me.
