The HP partner has implemented an HP FlexNetwork solution for a customer. The partner is now
giving device inventories and physical and logical topologies to the customer. To which customer
role is this information most relevant?

A network architect has planned an 802.1X solution for a company with these requirements:
The solution authenticates employees who connect with wired connections.
The access layer switches are HP ProVision switches.
The core device is an HP Comware Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) virtual device.
The authentication server is HP IMC User Access Manager (UAM).
The company wants to keep this solution as it is but also allow the same ports to support guest
access. Instead of authenticating with 802.1X, guests should log in through a Web page hosted on
UAM.
Which solution meets this requirement?

A switch runs Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) on an interface and needs to establish an OSPF
adjacency or adjacencies on that interface. In which situation should the architect pay particular
attention to the OSPF hello timer and possibly tune it to a lower value?

Refer to the exhibit.

All switch interfaces shown in the exhibit have these characteristics:
Are configured in routed-mode
Have IP addresses
Run Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
Network architect wants to ensure that routing switch 1 uses the faster link in preference to the
slower link, which should be used in failover situations. Which step should be architect perform to
meet this requirement?

A customer is installing HP ProLiant DL servers in an enterprise data center and wants to use HP
iLO to manage the servers remotely. What is recommended to support the use of iLO?

Refer to the exhibit.

For a campus access layer upgrade, a network architect is proposing HP ProVision switches,
which support OSPF, PVST+, MSTP, and distributed trunking. The existing solution uses Cisco
devices and Cisco protocols at the distribution layer and core, and will continue to do so. Traffic is
routed at the distribution layer. The network operations team is concerned about upgrading and
resists learning new protocols.
What is the best plan for this scenario?

Refer to the exhibit.

The company wants to use MSTP to handle loop suppression and Layer 2 resiliency. Which
design should the network architect recommend to meet this requirement?

A data center has several legacy IBM mainframes that only support Systems Network Architecture
(SNA) traffic. The mainframes are located in different areas of the data center. What should the
network architect plan in this solution?

In the next year, a customer plans to implement reactive Software-defined Networking (SDN)
application. Which technology should the network architect ensure that the proposed network
infrastructure devices support?
