Question 1
At Harborline Finance, the infrastructure security group is preparing a governed switching change. The operational constraint is least-privilege and audit retention. The site acceptance review finds: A campus wiring-closet refresh needs economical fixed-access ports for ordinary office endpoints, not a modular core chassis. Which action BEST corrects the stated problem?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Choose a supported fixed-port HPE Aruba Networking CX access model sized for port count, uplinks and software features. This response directly addresses the observed condition: A campus wiring-closet refresh needs economical fixed-access ports for ordinary office endpoints, not a modular core chassis. For Harborline Finance during a governed switching change, the decisive check is not merely that a configuration was entered: The selected access switch meets the office port and uplink specification without an unnecessary modular chassis. That evidence connects the proposed correction to measurable forwarding or management behavior.
Incorrect Answers
Compare the exact candidate access-switch PoE power budget, per-port capability and PSU options against the endpoint load. That relates to a different fault: A small branch switch purchase emphasizes PoE capacity for phones and APs over nominal number of copper ports. The incident in the scenario is instead: A campus wiring-closet refresh needs economical fixed-access ports for ordinary office endpoints, not a modular core chassis. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Harborline Finance; the relevant confirmation would be: The selected access switch meets the office port and uplink specification without an unnecessary modular chassis.
Size an appropriate fixed-port branch access switch for actual endpoint, management and uplink requirements. That relates to a different fault: A remote site has no staffed switch room and needs a simple low-port access platform rather than a core-grade chassis. The incident in the scenario is instead: A campus wiring-closet refresh needs economical fixed-access ports for ordinary office endpoints, not a modular core chassis. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Harborline Finance; the relevant confirmation would be: The selected access switch meets the office port and uplink specification without an unnecessary modular chassis.
Evaluate appropriate CX data-center or aggregation platforms and their supported interface speeds and routing features. That relates to a different fault: A data-center aggregation design asks for high-density high-speed links with an appropriate routing feature set. The incident in the scenario is instead: A campus wiring-closet refresh needs economical fixed-access ports for ordinary office endpoints, not a modular core chassis. Changing the unrelated setting does not establish the required repair at Harborline Finance; the relevant confirmation would be: The selected access switch meets the office port and uplink specification without an unnecessary modular chassis.
