A global furniture retail company called 'No-Stair Inc.' requests you design their new WLAN infrastructure for a global footprint. Each location of No-Stair Inc.' has a similar layout: three small manager offices, a warehouse, and a 'retail' are
a. The 'retail' area and the warehouse together amount to 95% of the location. The IT department of the company Is minimally engaged In their LAN refresh so the CTO of the company has shared the information below
Current WLAN Infrastructure Is based on the 802.1 In "WlF14Less" access-points series (both model 2013-INT (2.4 only Internal antenna) and model 2019-EXT (dual-band external antenna only)). These AP models are standalone without any centralized management. Last year 'No-Stair InC ran a project called secure. It' ensuring that all needed network security was Implemented to be fully compliant with their security standards. During this project, they also upgraded the AAA infrastructure to handle the Increased AAA requests. No additional Wi-Fi or security requirements are listed for this WLAN refresh, which means that 'No-Stair Inc.' will continue to use bridged SSIDs. with local breakout into different VLANs.
The CTO of No-Stair Inc.' understands the need for you to ask additional questions to deliver the design The questions may be sent in written form and will be answered within two weeks.
What additional question needs to be answered in order to collect needed information for tie WLAN design?
When upgrading a WLAN infrastructure, it's important to ensure that the existing wired network can support the new wireless access points (APs) in terms of connectivity and power (if using Power over Ethernet, PoE). For 'No-Stair Inc.,' which is planning a WLAN refresh without specific changes to the Wi-Fi or security requirements but potentially with new AP models and configurations, verifying the capacity of the wired network is crucial. The question about whether the existing wired network has enough drops (ethernet connections) for the upgraded Wi-Fi network addresses this concern. It's essential to ensure that there are sufficient ethernet ports available in the right locations to connect the new APs, and that these ports can provide the necessary power and data rates required by modern APs. This information will help in planning the deployment of the new APs, avoiding potential bottlenecks and ensuring that the upgraded WLAN can deliver the desired performance and coverage
What is the best practice for using VSX at the core of a 3-tier design?
In a 3-tier network design consisting of core, aggregation, and access layers, the implementation of Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) at the core is considered a best practice when the aggregation layer functions primarily at Layer 3 with routing protocols like OSPF facilitating traffic forwarding between the core and aggregation layers. This design choice, as verified by Aruba Campus Access documents, leverages the high availability and redundancy features of VSX technology while maintaining efficient and scalable routing at the aggregation layer. Implementing VSX at the core in such a scenario ensures seamless failover and redundancy, minimizing the risk of downtime and ensuring consistent performance across the network. The core layer, equipped with VSX, provides a robust and resilient backbone for the network, facilitating efficient traffic management and routing decisions, which is critical for large-scale enterprise networks.
A large multinational financial institution has contracted you to design a new full-stack wired and wireless network for their new 6-story regional office building. The bottom two floors of this facility will be retail space for a large banking branch. The upper floors will be carpeted office space for corporate users, each floor being approximately 100.000 sq ft (9290 sqm). Data centers are all off site and will be out of scope for this project. The customer is underserved by its existing L2-based network infrastructure and would like to take advantage of modern best practices in the new design. The network should be fully resilient and fault-tolerant, with dynamic segmentation at the edge.
The retail space will include public guest Wi-Fi access. Retail associates will have corporate tablets for customer service, and there will be a mix of wired and wireless devices throughout the retail floors. The corporate users will primarily use wireless for connectivity, but several wired clients, printers, and hard VoIP phones will be in use.
The customer is also planning on renovating the corporate office space in order to take advantage of "smart office' technology. These improvements will drive blue-dot wayfinding. presence analytics, and other location-based services
The client has provided floorplans. wall density, and ceiling heights tor the wireless deployment in the carpeted office space
What else will be needed to write an accurate bill of material? (Select two)
Ceiling construction details are essential for a wireless deployment because the material and structure of the ceiling can affect the propagation of wireless signals. Different materials can absorb or reflect RF signals differently, impacting coverage and signal strength. Understanding ceiling construction helps in planning the placement of access points for optimal coverage and performance. PoE (Power over Ethernet) port details are necessary to ensure that the wired network infrastructure can provide power to the access points and other PoE-enabled devices like VoIP phones and cameras. This information is critical for planning the power budget and ensuring that the network can support the power requirements of all connected devices, ensuring a stable and reliable network infrastructure.

The client decided that wired headless devices would be authenticated using Mac Authentication and would have RADIUS attributes sent back to the NAD to assign VLAN and port access parameters to the authentication session on the switch port.
What would be critical in making this a successful deployment? {Select two.)
For a successful deployment of MAC Authentication with RADIUS attributes for VLAN and port access parameters, ClearPass is critical. ClearPass Policy Manager offers advanced network access control, policy management, and is capable of handling MAC Authentication effectively. It can communicate with the Network Access Devices (NADs) to apply the correct access policies based on RADIUS attributes received during the authentication process. DHCP is also crucial in this setup for dynamically assigning IP addresses to authenticated devices, ensuring that they can connect to the network with the appropriate network settings. Together, ClearPass and DHCP services form the backbone of a secure, manageable, and dynamically segmented network infrastructure, ensuring devices are authenticated and receive the correct network configuration.

The client is looking to utilize lower-cost Aruba OS-CX switches in their wiring closets. They calculate that each closet will need a stack or qty 6 POE (AT) and qty 0 Gigabit Ethernet switches stacked with low-cost OACs.
Which series switch should you recommend?
The Aruba CX 6300F series is a suitable recommendation for the described scenario due to its performance, PoE capabilities, and cost-effectiveness for wiring closet deployments. The CX 6300F series offers the flexibility and scalability needed for modern network environments, supporting both wired and wireless connectivity demands. It provides advanced features such as stackability, high-density PoE options, and the capability to support dynamic segmentation, which is essential for separating and securing different types of network traffic, such as corporate data and guest Wi-Fi access. This series is designed to meet the needs of a full-stack wired and wireless network in a large, multi-story office building, providing the necessary infrastructure for both current and future network requirements.
