HP HPE7-A11 Value Pack (Frequently Bought Together)

ACME retail has 38 locations spread out across five US states and two provinces in Canada.
They are looking to grow 20% over the next two years. They have an HQ with a staff of 200 employees. The organization has eight Regional Managers and two VPs who work from home and the road. Stores typically have 17 employees on average per location.
The two warehouses have a remote loading system and 20 employees each to load the trucks and fulfill the online orders. The warehouse has 40-foot ceilings and large metal racks to store inventory. The main location is 240K sq ft (22300 sq m) and the Canadian warehouse is 130K sq ft (12100 sq m). The forklifts on the loading docks are equipped with a wireless tablet on board.
A typical store is reportedly about 60,000 sq ft (5575 sq m) and smaller stores are planned at
25,000 sq ft (2320 sq m). The locations need to expand the abilities to vendors that need to add setup displays or interactive kiosks in the stores. The current infrastructure was installed in 2015 and used wireless N technology in a coverage model. The wiring is Cat5, and they are unsure of the fiber connections. The inventory is all placed on the floor when it is delivered to the local store.
Inventory control is handled through Zebra barcode scanners, and they have had a lot of issues in getting signals throughout the stores and this makes monthly inventory difficult. The organization has a small help desk to troubleshoot issues that happen at the retail locations and PC support for the office. The company is looking to upgrade away from the current PBX system later this year. With the need to grow and cut costs, they are interested in moving the data to the cloud but need to get almost real-time inventory control for the online service to function.
The network has all been wired over the last ten years, but with the new systems being all wireless, they have seen the trend to offer wireless to all the vendors for their needs but also would be to allow employees, guests, and contractors all to use it. With the new IT director starting next week, the project has been set by the CTO of the company. The marketing group has asked how they can interact with the customers and get more info, while the IT support desk needs to cut staff in half.
The office has an MDF and two IDFs located on floors one and two. The MDF is in the basement, and you have multiple WAN circuits for the HQ links. Each store has a local handoff from the cable company (ethernet) in the middle of the store in the office, so distance for the wiring is not an issue.
The customer has budget concerns but does want something that could last 7+ years.
The customer would like to host all the applications at the HQ Data Center.
Which design would meet the customer's requirements?

• A. 10000 switch with Pensando
• B. HPE Comware switches

A global furniture retail company called 'No-Stair Inc.' requests you design their new WLAN infrastructure for a global footprint. Each location of 'No-Stair Inc." has a similar layout: three small manager offices, a warehouse, and a 'retail' area. The 'retail' area and the warehouse together amount to 95% of the location. The IT department of the company is minimally engaged in their LAN refresh so the CTO of the company has shared the information below.
Current WLAN Infrastructure is based on the 802.11n "WIFI4Less" access-points series (both model 2013-INT (2.4 only internal antenna) and model 2019-EXT (dual-band external antenna only). These AP models are standalone without any centralized management. Last year 'No-Stair Inc.' ran a project called 'secure-it' ensuring that all needed network security was implemented to be fully compliant with their security standards. During this project, they also upgraded the AAA.
Infrastructure to handle the increased AAA requests. No additional Wi-Fi or security requirements are listed for this WLAN refresh, which means that 'No-Stair Inc.' will continue to use bridged SSIDs, with local breakout into different VLANs.
The CTO of 'No-Stair Inc.' understands the need for you to ask additional questions to deliver the design. The questions may be sent in written form and will be answered within two weeks.
What is a possible constraint?

• A. Does the existing core switch support an upgraded WiFi Network?
• B. Do the business-critical end devices being used support 5 or 6Ghz?
• C. Does the existing WAN infrastructure support an upgraded Wi-Fi Network?
• D. Does the existing AAA infrastructure support an upgraded Wi-Fi Network?

A large multinational financial institution has contracted you to design a new full-stack wired and wireless network for their new 6-story regional office building. The bottom two floors of this facility will be retail space for a large banking branch. The upper floors will be carpeted office space for corporate users, each floor being approximately 100,000 sq ft (9290 sq m). Data centers are all offsite and will be out of scope for this project. The customer is underserved by its existing L2- based network infrastructure and would like to take advantage of modem best practices in the new design. The network should be fully resilient and fault-tolerant, with dynamic segmentation at the edge.
The retail space will include public guest Wi-Fi access. Retail associates will have corporate tablets for customer service, and there will be a mix of wired and wireless devices throughout the retail floors. The corporate users will primarily use wireless for connectivity, but several wired clients, printers, and hard VoIP phones will be in use.
The customer is also planning on renovating the corporate office space in order to take advantage of 'smart office' technology. These improvements will drive blue-dot wayfinding, presence analytics, and other location-based services.
The client decided that they would like to manage two wiring closets as a single stack with a total of 10 switches and a minimum transport speed of 25Gbps over OM4 MM fiber. They would also like to keep the stacking cabling cost to a minimum.
Which stacking components would be required to meet the customer's requirements in the most cost-effective way if the closets were 190 m (620 ft) apart? (Choose two.)

• A. 25G DAC cables
• B. SFP56 transceivers
• C. 50G DAC cables
• D. SFP28 transceivers

What is true about 1000 Base-LX single mode transceivers?

• A. 1000Base-LX needs a Mode Conditioning Patch Cable to be operated with OS1 cables up to 2 km.
• B. 1000Base-LX needs a Mode Conditioning Patch Cable to be operated with OM5 cables up to 550 m.
• C. 1000Base-LX needs a Mode Conditioning Patch Cable to be operated with OM1 cables up to 550 m.
• D. 1000Base-LX doesn't need a Mode Conditioning Patch Cable to be operated with OM2 cables up to 550 m.
