Question 340

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: An untrusted port injects ARP replies claiming to be the default gateway and disrupts office sessions. Select TWO: a corrective switching action and separate evidence that the correction worked. (Select TWO.)

  1. Role-based management login tests enforce least privilege and approved emergency access while insecure services remain disabled.
  2. Map authenticated user or device attributes to supported HPE Aruba Networking role-based segmentation with verified policy enforcement on the chosen model.
  3. Configure supported wired 802.1X access controls, RADIUS policy and explicit fallback for endpoints that cannot authenticate.
  4. Apply supported untrusted port controls for DHCP and ARP so rogue responses and spoofed bindings are rejected without breaking legitimate services.
  5. A controlled rogue DHCP and ARP spoof test is rejected while legitimate authorized server and client traffic succeeds.

Explanation

Correct Answers

D:

The targeted correction for An untrusted port injects ARP replies claiming to be the default gateway and disrupts office sessions is: Apply supported untrusted port controls for DHCP and ARP so rogue responses and spoofed bindings are rejected without breaking legitimate services. It reduces the risk that untrusted DHCP servers or forged ARP messages can redirect clients or disrupt campus communications.

E:

A separate operational validation for An untrusted port injects ARP replies claiming to be the default gateway and disrupts office sessions is: A controlled rogue DHCP and ARP spoof test is rejected while legitimate authorized server and client traffic succeeds. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative concerns management plane aaa ssh and least privilege; its associated risk is: An accessible management interface with weak authorization can expose production switching changes to unauthorized staff. The observed case An untrusted port injects ARP replies claiming to be the default gateway and disrupts office sessions requires the more specific layer 2 protection dhcp snooping and arp inspection control. The targeted action is: Apply supported untrusted port controls for DHCP and ARP so rogue responses and spoofed bindings are rejected without breaking legitimate services.

B:

This alternative concerns dynamic segmentation roles and enforcement; its associated risk is: Role names without operational enforcement can leave different endpoint classes in an improperly shared security domain. The observed case An untrusted port injects ARP replies claiming to be the default gateway and disrupts office sessions requires the more specific layer 2 protection dhcp snooping and arp inspection control. The targeted action is: Apply supported untrusted port controls for DHCP and ARP so rogue responses and spoofed bindings are rejected without breaking legitimate services.

C:

This alternative concerns 802.1x port authentication and radius policy; its associated risk is: Failing open on authentication loss or applying an unreviewed fallback VLAN can grant excess access to unmanaged devices. The observed case An untrusted port injects ARP replies claiming to be the default gateway and disrupts office sessions requires the more specific layer 2 protection dhcp snooping and arp inspection control. The targeted action is: Apply supported untrusted port controls for DHCP and ARP so rogue responses and spoofed bindings are rejected without breaking legitimate services.

Question 341

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: A switch uplink is erroneously marked untrusted and legitimate DHCP offers from the real server are dropped. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. Which implementation or troubleshooting step directly resolves the specific network issue?

  1. Apply supported untrusted port controls for DHCP and ARP so rogue responses and spoofed bindings are rejected without breaking legitimate services.
  2. Restrict switch management protocols and administrative roles through approved AAA, SSH and source-policy controls with local recovery access.
  3. Configure supported wired 802.1X access controls, RADIUS policy and explicit fallback for endpoints that cannot authenticate.
  4. Map authenticated user or device attributes to supported HPE Aruba Networking role-based segmentation with verified policy enforcement on the chosen model.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The decisive observed condition is: A switch uplink is erroneously marked untrusted and legitimate DHCP offers from the real server are dropped. The appropriate switching action is: Apply supported untrusted port controls for DHCP and ARP so rogue responses and spoofed bindings are rejected without breaking legitimate services. It addresses the risk that untrusted DHCP servers or forged ARP messages can redirect clients or disrupt campus communications. Confirm with: A controlled rogue DHCP and ARP spoof test is rejected while legitimate authorized server and client traffic succeeds.

Question 342

An engineer investigates: A switch uplink is erroneously marked untrusted and legitimate DHCP offers from the real server are dropped. What network observation should the team require before approving completion?

  1. Authorized identities receive the intended role and unauthorized endpoints remain denied or limited during normal and degraded tests.
  2. A controlled rogue DHCP and ARP spoof test is rejected while legitimate authorized server and client traffic succeeds.
  3. A role-specific traffic matrix proves a permitted user reaches allowed services and a different role is blocked from restricted destinations.
  4. Role-based management login tests enforce least privilege and approved emergency access while insecure services remain disabled.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The independent acceptance evidence for A switch uplink is erroneously marked untrusted and legitimate DHCP offers from the real server are dropped is: A controlled rogue DHCP and ARP spoof test is rejected while legitimate authorized server and client traffic succeeds. It tests whether the team has actually implemented: Apply supported untrusted port controls for DHCP and ARP so rogue responses and spoofed bindings are rejected without breaking legitimate services.
