1. 1A customer requests an estimate of 6 GHz WLAN capacity and required service quality. Which combination of customer inputs does the HPE campus guide recommend collecting?

   1. A.User count, application types, and required QoSCorrect answer: A
   2. B.User count, application types, and installed AP models
   3. C.User count, required QoS, and installed AP models
   4. D.Application types, required QoS, and installed AP models

   Explanation: The guide states: "The 6 GHz band provides greater bandwidth, so consider the number of users, the types of applications they use, and the quality of service (QoS) required." The other combinations replace one of these demand inputs with AP model names.

2. 2An administrator adds a standalone AOS-CX switch to HPE GreenLake using the direct device identifier option. Which pair of identifiers is entered?

   1. A.Serial number and IP address
   2. B.Serial number and MAC addressCorrect answer: B
   3. C.MAC address and site name
   4. D.IP address and site name

   Explanation: The onboarding guide states: "Serial Number & MAC Address—Enter the serial number and MAC address for the switch." The serial number and MAC address identify the switch for this manual method.

3. 3An operator wants to inspect how switches and APs are connected within a Central-managed site. Which view presents that relationship?

   1. A.Report scheduling view
   2. B.Configuration view
   3. C.Location view
   4. D.Topology viewCorrect answer: D

   Explanation: The monitoring guide says: "The Topology view presents the devices in the network based on their physical and logical connectivity to other devices." The topology view presents the connectivity relationship between devices.

4. 4A destination is reachable, but an engineer needs to inspect the routed path from a standalone AOS-CX switch. Which Central troubleshooting test is appropriate?

   1. A.Cable Test
   2. B.Ping Test
   3. C.Traceroute TestCorrect answer: C
   4. D.AAA Test

   Explanation: The tool guide says: "The Traceroute test tracks the packets routed from a network host and provides the data path from the source to the destination." Traceroute identifies the path; ping assesses reachability and latency without providing the hop path.

5. 5Before changing an AP's RF settings, an engineer wants to record background radio-frequency noise over time. Which WLAN health metric supplies this baseline?

   1. A.Throughput
   2. B.Connected Clients
   3. C.Noise FloorCorrect answer: C
   4. D.Frame Drops

   Explanation: The help page states: "Noise Floor—Shows the level of background radio frequency noise detected on each radio over the selected time period." Noise Floor records the RF background noise over the selected period.

6. 6A customer requires different internal resources to be accessible to employees and contractors. What should the engineer gather to plan network roles?

   1. A.A common network profile and one set of permissions for both user types
   2. B.A network profile and specific access requirements for each user typeCorrect answer: B
   3. C.A shared profile based on device model instead of the users' resource needs
   4. D.A list of user names and a single unrestricted access role for both types

   Explanation: The guide says: "Developing an accurate network profile and specific access requirements for each unique type of user or device is essential." Because employees and contractors need different resources, one shared or unrestricted role would not represent the stated requirements.

7. 7A standalone AOS-CX switch must reach Central over an off-subnet network using out-of-band management. DHCP is unavailable and no static management settings exist. Which information must be configured?

   1. A.A static IP address and DNS, but no default gateway
   2. B.A static IP address and default gateway, but no DNS
   3. C.A static IP address, DNS, and default gatewayCorrect answer: C
   4. D.DNS and default gateway, but no static IP address

   Explanation: The quick start directs: "Configure IP Address—Assign a static IP address and DNS or enable DHCP on the switch to ensure it has internet connectivity." Its out-of-band example also includes "switch(config-if-mgmt)# default-gateway 192.168.25.1". For the stated off-subnet path, the default gateway is needed as well as a static address and DNS.

8. 8A weekly Central report must cover only data from the preceding week. Which report setting determines the data's time range?

   1. A.Report Over PeriodCorrect answer: A
   2. B.Report Schedule
   3. C.Report Name
   4. D.Email Recipients

   Explanation: The guide states: "The Report Over Period defines the time range the report content covers, such as the Last Day, Last Week, Last Month, or a Custom Range." Report Schedule determines the generation frequency, not the time span covered by the data.

9. 9A switch reaches a RADIUS server, but an employee cannot authenticate. The engineer has a known-valid test account. Which Central test directly verifies authentication with that account?

   1. A.Run an AAA Test with the known-valid credentialsCorrect answer: A
   2. B.Run a Ping Test to the RADIUS server
   3. C.Run a Traceroute Test to the RADIUS server
   4. D.Run a Route Table Test for the RADIUS server subnet

   Explanation: The guide states: "AAA/Radius server test checks the connectivity and functionality of the authentication process." The AAA test checks the RADIUS authentication process rather than only the cable, MAC table, or route table.

10. 10An engineer wants to record the number of wireless clients associated with a selected radio during a peak period. Which WLAN health metric should be used?

    1. A.Channel Quality
    2. B.Noise Floor
    3. C.Frame Errors
    4. D.Connected ClientsCorrect answer: D

    Explanation: The help page states: "Connected Clients—Shows the number of clients connected to the selected interface and radio." The graph can be inspected at a particular time to record the client count.
