Refer to the exhibit.

A customer has the solution in the exhibit, which includes more access layer switches than are
shown. Members of the customer network team mention they are considering access layer routing
for a new solution to eliminate Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Virtual Router Redundancy
protocol (VRRP). However they are concerned about meaning the routing solution. The network

architect proposes a solution that eliminates STP and VRRP without requiring routing at the
access layer, although the solution can use access layer routing.
Which solution fits that description?

Refer to the exhibit.

The exhibit shows the topology for a network with 30 access layer switches (only two are shown).
Every switch-to-switch link is a Gigabit link. Every virtual local area network (VLAN) interface runs
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and has the IP address shows in the exhibit. The interface
settings are at the defaults.
The access layer switches support more VLANs not shown in the exhibit and also run Multiple
Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) as a protection against loops.

What is one recommendation for enhancing convergence time and resiliency for this solution?

A network architect is designing a solution with HP products. A customer has the following
requirements for controlling the management access for administrators:
Administrators are assigned privileges when they log in based on their identity
Security policies related to password complexity and password rotation, like the company’s
Windows domain policies, are enforced for administrator credentials
The company can easily revoke the access of administrator how have the company method
Administrator have a backdoor into the management interface in case network connectivity fails
in any way
Which option meets the company’s requirements?

A network architect has planned several validation tests and user acceptance tests (UATs) for a
new HP solution. In order to ensure meaningful results, what is one step that the network should
complete before implementing the new solution?

A network architect is choosing core switches for an enterprise data center. One potential model
has CLOS hardware architecture, and the other model has a cross-bar architecture. Which
customer requirement would cause the network architect to select switches with CLOS
architecture?
