HP Aruba Certified Switching Associate (ACSA) V1 HPE6-A86 New Questions

The correct answer is B. 2. The diagram shows two VLANs: VLAN 10 and VLAN 20. In Ethernet switching, each VLAN represents a separate Layer 2 broadcast domain. HPE Aruba Networking documentation defines a VLAN as a single Layer 2 network that can be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, isolated from each other unless traffic passes through a router or Layer 3 interface. In this diagram, PCs A and B are in VLAN 10, so they share one broadcast domain. PCs C and D are in VLAN 20, so they share a second broadcast domain. The Layer 3 switch has SVIs for VLAN 10 and VLAN 20, which allow routing between the two VLANs, but the SVIs do not merge the broadcast domains. They provide Layer 3 gateways for each VLAN. Therefore, the number of broadcast domains is based on the number of VLANs shown, not the number of PCs, switch links, or SVIs. Since there are two VLANs, there are two broadcast domains.

The correct answer is A. operators. HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX documentation for the CX 8400 identifies built-in user groups that exist by default on the switch. These include administrators, operators, and auditors. The operators group has limited privileges, such as basic display-only CLI access and the ability to view nonsensitive switch configuration information. It does not have full switch configuration privileges. The other options—helpdesk, servicedesk, and support—are not listed as built-in default user groups for the CX 8400. Those names could be created manually as custom local user groups in some environments, but they are not default AOS-CX groups. Therefore, from the available choices, the default group is operators.

The correct answer is B. Single-mode fiber. A 35 km connection between two sites is a long-distance optical link, and single-mode fiber is the appropriate cable type for long-haul communication. HPE Aruba Networking transceiver documentation describes single-mode fiber as having a small core size and being suitable for long-haul communication because it transmits light in one mode and suffers less intermodal dispersion than multi-mode fiber. Multi-mode fiber is used for shorter-distance links inside buildings or data centers and is not the correct choice for a 35 km site-to-site connection. UTP copper cabling cannot support a 40Gbps Ethernet connection over 35 km. ZTP is Zero Touch Provisioning, not a cable type. HPE Aruba transceiver guidance also lists long-distance optical transceivers, such as 40 km single-mode fiber options, reinforcing that long-distance high-speed links require SMF rather than MMF or copper. Therefore, for a 40Gbps link between sites 35 km apart, the required cabling is single-mode fiber. ( arubanetworking.hpe.com )

The correct answer is C. The contents of Flash survive when a device reboots or powers down. In HPE Aruba switch operation, the active configuration used by the device while it is running is the running configuration. The startup configuration is the saved configuration that is preserved and used after reboot. HPE Aruba documentation explains that saving the running configuration writes it to the startup configuration file in Flash memory, allowing the configuration to remain after the switch reboots. This confirms that Flash is nonvolatile storage. HPE Aruba AOS-CX documentation also describes eMMC or SSD switch storage as nonvolatile memory used for persistent storage of configurations, files, databases, and scripts. Option A is incorrect because switch Flash storage is not normally expanded by adding extra Flash for configuration storage. Option B is incorrect because the running configuration is held as the active operating configuration, not simply “Flash.” Option D is incorrect because show running-config displays the current running configuration, not the saved startup configuration stored in Flash.
