HP HPE7-A02 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Traffic Forwarding for APs:

In AOS-10, AP traffic forwarding can happen locally (bridged) or through tunnels to a gateway.

The VLAN settings on the "APs" role depend on whether the APs bridge the SSID traffic locally or forward it through a tunnel.

Option B: Correct. You need to know whether the traffic is bridged or tunneled to determine the VLAN assignments.

Option A: Incorrect. LURs/DURs affect role assignment but not VLAN settings for traffic forwarding.

Option C: Incorrect. Establishing tunnels with gateways is relevant to centralized traffic forwarding, not VLANs for bridged traffic.

Option D: Incorrect. AP IP addressing (static or DHCP) does not impact the VLAN for forwarded SSID traffic.

Packet Capture in Aruba Central:

Aruba Central provides tools for remote packet captures directly from the APs.

On the "Security" page for the AP, you can initiate a packet capture session, specifying the client device and capture duration.

The traffic is captured into a PCAP file, which can be downloaded and analyzed using tools like Wireshark.

Option Analysis:

Option A: Incorrect. While possible via CLI, Aruba Central provides a simpler method for packet captures.

Option B: Correct. Aruba Central’s "Security" page allows you to capture and export client traffic efficiently.

Option C: Incorrect. The "Live Events" page focuses on monitoring events, not packet captures.

Option D: Incorrect. Port mirroring on the switch captures AP traffic but requires more manual configuration and does not isolate client-specific wireless traffic easily.

Hub-Spoke VPN Configuration:

HPE Aruba Central SD-WAN Orchestrator enables hub-spoke topology where branch gateways (BGWs) connect to VPN concentrators (VPNCs) located at data centers.

A key step in configuring this is defining which VPNCs the BGWs will prefer for connectivity.

The DC Preference List is configured in the BGW groups to prioritize the data centers to which BGWs connect.

Option Analysis:

Option A: Incorrect. VPN pools control IP allocation, not which branches connect to VPNCs.

Option B: Incorrect. IKE policies define key exchange mechanisms but are not part of the connection preference process.

Option C: Correct. Admins configure a DC preference list in BGW groups to determine connectivity priorities with VPNCs.

Option D: Incorrect. IPsec policies define encryption parameters at a global level, but this is not specific to the hub-spoke connection configuration.
