HP Exam HPE7-A07 Topic 1 Question 28 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A07 exam

Question #: 28
Topic #: 1

You are troubleshooting a WLAN deployment with APs and gateways set up with an 802.1X tunneled SSIO. End-users are complaining that they can't connect to die enterprise SSID. Which possible AP tunnel states could be the cause of the Issue? (Select two.)

ASM_STATE_RE KEYING

BSM_STATE_SURVIVED

CSM_STATE_CONNECTED

DSM_STATE_SURVIVING

ESM_STATE_CONNECTING

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, E

When troubleshooting a WLAN with 802.1X tunneled SSID issues, AP tunnel states indicate the status of the connection between the AP and the gateway/controller. The states 'SM_STATE_REKEYING' and 'SM_STATE_CONNECTING' could indicate transitional states where the connection has not been fully established, hence users might face issues connecting to the SSID. 'SM_STATE_REKEYING' implies that the AP is in the process of re-establishing encryption keys, while 'SM_STATE_CONNECTING' indicates that the AP is trying to establish a connection with the controller or gateway. These states could lead to temporary connectivity issues until the state transitions to 'SM_STATE_CONNECTED'.

Tunneling issues? I'm just impressed the APs and gateways can keep track of all these state machines. 'SM_STATE_CONNECTING' and 'SM_STATE_SURVIVED' for the win, I guess. Maybe we should just switch to tin cans and string, less chance of getting stuck in a 'SM_STATE_TANGLED' mess.

I bet the network admin is pulling their hair out over this one. 'SM_STATE_CONNECTING' and 'SM_STATE_SURVIVED' seem like the obvious choices here. Though I'm tempted to just say 'SM_STATE_CONFUSED' and call it a day.

Ah, the joys of enterprise WLAN troubleshooting. Let me see, 'SM_STATE_CONNECTING' and 'SM_STATE_SURVIVED' sound like the likely suspects. Maybe the APs need a little more coffee to keep up with the tunneling.

Ugh, tunnel states? Really? This is why I prefer my Wi-Fi with less layers than an onion. I'm just going to guess 'SM_STATE_CONNECTING' and 'SM_STATE_SURVIVED' and hope for the best.

This WLAN deployment with 802.1X tunneling seems like a real headache. I bet the 'SM_STATE_CONNECTING' and 'SM_STATE_SURVIVED' states are the culprits here. Gotta love those cryptic state names, am I right?

Yeah, those state names can be confusing. Let's focus on troubleshooting those first.

I'm not sure about SM_STATE_REKEYING, but I think SM_STATE_CONNECTING could definitely be causing the problem. It makes sense that the APs might be stuck in that state.

I agree with Dacia. SM_STATE_REKEYING and SM_STATE_CONNECTING seem like the most likely culprits for the connection problem.

I think the possible AP tunnel states that could be causing the issue are SM_STATE_REKEYING and SM_STATE_CONNECTING.
