HP HPE7-A12 Value Pack (Frequently Bought Together)

Waratah Hospital, based in Australia, is planning to move many data center services to new facility. (The remaining legacy data center will not be part of this project.) Waratah Hospital hired an external consultant to assist with the new data center network design.
Based on the requirements for the data center network infrastructure, the external consultant has created a high-level design. The below summarizes the content of the design document.
Requirements and information:
- Six racks in the data center room (single row).
- Redundant Top of Rack leaf switches with back-to-front cooling in each rack, providing 10/25 Gbps connectivity to servers, storage, and other devices.
- Four 100 GbE uplinks per leaf switch.
- The customer requested to install all switch ports facing the back of the rack racks (hot aisle.)
- OOB management for servers, storage, and network has to be provided through an external switch with back-to-front cooling. This switch has to be included in the solution. One OOB switch provides connectivity for two racks.
- Core equipment for the OOBM network is being reused.
- Middle-of-row spine switches.
-The data center should connect to the hospital building with links that provide 400 Gbps.
- Internet access is provided through an existing firewall cluster with two firewalls, each firewall in one data room. The second firewall is operating in standby mode, VRRP is utilized on the firewalls for failover. The data center network should connect to these firewalls with links that total
100 Gbps.
- The external link is a dark fiber direct link based on single-mode fiber (OS2). The distance to the main hospital 1.5 KM. The links will terminate on two core switches in the hospital.
The customer also requires:
- 99.999% uptime for this life-critical environment.
- Planned and unplanned downtime has to be minimized.
- Software upgrades are only allowed once per year with close to zero downtime.
- All life-critical resources are accessed locally, and all resources exist within the hospital campus.
- Waratah Hospital requires a highly secure environment for the data center. Encrypted wire speed connectivity between the data room and the hospital is a must-have because the link between the buildings crosses a public road.
- Waratah Hospital has a mix of virtualized (vSphere) servers. Nutanix storage, bare metal servers, backup servers and other devices.
In the past, the hospital has had a security breach that resulted in data loss, network downtime, and identity theft.
Refer to the rack requirements in the scenario. Which additional information can help you choose between CX 8325-48Y8C and CX 8360-48Y6C models?

• A. Precisely how many ports use 10 GbE versus 25 GbE and whether that mix might change.
• B. How the rack and switches installed in it are oriented toward hot and cold aisles.
• C. Whether the customer has a preference for AOC versus DAC cables.
• D. Whether the customer requires the flexibility to extend VM networks across a routed underlay.

Which information should you attempt to discover during your first data center network design meetings with the customer? (Choose two.)

• A. What are the team's training needs for the project?
• B. What are the data center's addresses?
• C. What's the budget allocated to this project?
• D. What are the bandwidth requirements for the spine switches?
• E. Is it a greenfield or brownfield deployment?

What is the correct statement with regard to flow synchronization on the HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Distributed Services Modules (DSM) operating in VSX?

• A. Flow state on the DSMs is not synchronized between the VSX members.
• B. Flow state on DSM1 of a VSX member is synchronized to any DSM on the other VSX member.
• C. Flow state is synchronized between the matching DSMs between the VSX peers.
• D. Flow state on DSM1 of a VSX member is synchronized to DSM2 on the other VSX member.

A customer wants each of their three data centers to be able to fail over workloads to either of the other two sites. Which network design approach best supports this "any-to-any" DR model?

• A. Isolating each site so no inter-site traffic is possible
• B. A hub-and-spoke design with only one DR-capable site
• C. Static routes configured manually between each site pair
• D. A distributed EVPN VXLAN fabric extended across all three sites using a DCI (Data Center Interconnect)

You have designed a spine and leaf topology, which includes 16 leaf switches and four spine switches. The customer has no existing overlay solution. You are helping the implementer work with the customer to obtain IP address blocks for the design. You plan to ask for these /24 subnets. One for an individual loopback interface for each switch. One for point-to-point connections between leaf and spine switches. What is one of the corrections you must make?

• A. Change the /24 subnet request for the point-to-point links to a /23 subnet
• B. Ask for another subnet for point-to-point links in the overlay VRF
• C. Ask for another subnet for loopback IP addresses shared by the two members of each VSX pair
• D. Change the /24 subnet request for the individual loopback addresses to a /25 subnet
