HPE Network Data Center Professional Architect : HPE7-A12 valid dump

Which of the following best describes the purpose of a "risk register" in a data center network design project?

• A. A tracked list of identified risks, their likelihood/impact, and mitigation or contingency plans
• B. A financial ledger of the project's profit margin
• C. A record of every email exchanged with the customer
• D. A list of the switches to be purchased

You are planning a pair of CX switches to act as ToR switches. The switches implement VSX as part of a data center L2 topology and connect to the core on VSX LAGs. To meet expansion requirements, you need to keep as many ports open as possible. What option should you recommend for VSX LAGs?

• A. Sending the keepalives to and from loopback interfaces overs the uplinks to the core.
• B. Using the OOBM interface to transmit keepalives.
• C. Adding a link between the switches dedicated to the keepalives.
• D. Sending the keepalives to and from loopback interfaces overs the VSX ISL.

Waratah Hospital, based in Australia, is planning to move many data center services to new facility. (The remaining legacy data center will not be part of this project.) Waratah Hospital hired an external consultant to assist with the new data center network design.
Based on the requirements for the data center network infrastructure, the external consultant has created a high-level design. The below summarizes the content of the design document.
Requirements and information:
- Six racks in the data center room (single row).
- Redundant Top of Rack leaf switches with back-to-front cooling in each rack, providing 10/25 Gbps connectivity to servers, storage, and other devices.
- Four 100 GbE uplinks per leaf switch.
- The customer requested to install all switch ports facing the back of the rack racks (hot aisle.)
- OOB management for servers, storage, and network has to be provided through an external switch with back-to-front cooling. This switch has to be included in the solution. One OOB switch provides connectivity for two racks.
- Core equipment for the OOBM network is being reused.
- Middle-of-row spine switches.
-The data center should connect to the hospital building with links that provide 400 Gbps.
- Internet access is provided through an existing firewall cluster with two firewalls, each firewall in one data room. The second firewall is operating in standby mode, VRRP is utilized on the firewalls for failover. The data center network should connect to these firewalls with links that total
100 Gbps.
- The external link is a dark fiber direct link based on single-mode fiber (OS2). The distance to the main hospital 1.5 KM. The links will terminate on two core switches in the hospital.
The customer also requires:
- 99.999% uptime for this life-critical environment.
- Planned and unplanned downtime has to be minimized.
- Software upgrades are only allowed once per year with close to zero downtime.
- All life-critical resources are accessed locally, and all resources exist within the hospital campus.
- Waratah Hospital requires a highly secure environment for the data center. Encrypted wire speed connectivity between the data room and the hospital is a must-have because the link between the buildings crosses a public road.
- Waratah Hospital has a mix of virtualized (vSphere) servers. Nutanix storage, bare metal servers, backup servers and other devices.
In the past, the hospital has had a security breach that resulted in data loss, network downtime, and identity theft.
Refer to the scenario. You are trying to decide between the CX 9300 and CX 8325 switches for the border leaf switches. What is a hard requirement for this customer that affects this decision?

• A. The bandwidth requirements on the links to the hospital
• B. The need to minimize downtime during software upgrades
• C. Hardware encryption on the links to the hospital
• D. The mixed speed requirements to connect to both the hospital and the internet firewall

Identify the documentation resources for finding validated information that assists the architect in designing the solution (Choose two.)

• A. LinkedIn
• B. Competitive documentation
• C. Data sheets
• D. Product reviews (cnet, networkworld)
• E. Configuration guides
