Question 60

The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: A school needs priority voice service but a purchased switch family lacks the chosen scheduling feature on its specified release. Select TWO: a corrective switching action and separate evidence that the correction worked. (Select TWO.)

  1. Match supported Aruba AOS-CX aggregation and data-center-oriented platforms to throughput, port optics, routed fabric and licensing needs instead of assuming any high-speed chassis is interchangeable.
  2. Choose a supported AOS-CX switch model and software release whose multicast, PoE and QoS capabilities fit the required video and voice media services.
  3. A signed platform matrix demonstrates supported capacity and features on the exact hardware identifiers and target AOS-CX versions.
  4. The selected model handles an approved multicast and voice traffic profile with documented receiver and queue behavior in a feature-compatibility test.
  5. Choose between supported local CLI and HPE Aruba Networking Central workflows using management connectivity, scale, licensing and operational control requirements.

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

The targeted correction for A school needs priority voice service but a purchased switch family lacks the chosen scheduling feature on its specified release is: Choose a supported AOS-CX switch model and software release whose multicast, PoE and QoS capabilities fit the required video and voice media services. It reduces the risk that a device selected without verifying multicast and scheduling capabilities may flood unnecessary traffic or fail latency commitments after installation.

D:

A separate operational validation for A school needs priority voice service but a purchased switch family lacks the chosen scheduling feature on its specified release is: The selected model handles an approved multicast and voice traffic profile with documented receiver and queue behavior in a feature-compatibility test. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative concerns aos-cx aggregation and high-speed switching family fit; its associated risk is: A port-speed match alone does not guarantee the selected series supports the topology, overlays or redundancy method required in production. The observed case A school needs priority voice service but a purchased switch family lacks the chosen scheduling feature on its specified release requires the more specific switch portfolio multicast qos and campus media feature support control. The targeted action is: Choose a supported AOS-CX switch model and software release whose multicast, PoE and QoS capabilities fit the required video and voice media services.

C:

This alternative concerns 6200 and 6300 campus aggregation choices; its associated risk is: Assuming all access families have identical routing and VSF feature limits can force a redesign after the first switch stack is installed. The observed case A school needs priority voice service but a purchased switch family lacks the chosen scheduling feature on its specified release requires the more specific switch portfolio multicast qos and campus media feature support control. The targeted action is: Choose a supported AOS-CX switch model and software release whose multicast, PoE and QoS capabilities fit the required video and voice media services.

E:

This alternative concerns switching management and deployment portfolio decision; its associated risk is: Assuming cloud management is automatically available without entitlements and management reachability can leave new switches unmanaged. The observed case A school needs priority voice service but a purchased switch family lacks the chosen scheduling feature on its specified release requires the more specific switch portfolio multicast qos and campus media feature support control. The targeted action is: Choose a supported AOS-CX switch model and software release whose multicast, PoE and QoS capabilities fit the required video and voice media services.

Question 61

An HPE Aruba Networking engineer observes: A hospital requests routed multicast across separate VLANs without verifying whether the proposed distribution model supports required PIM features. The corrective solution must keep intended connectivity, segmentation, and operational resilience. Which implementation or troubleshooting step directly resolves the specific network issue?
