HP HPE7-A01 Practice Test 37
Question 360
A campus changes an existing corporate WLAN to a security mode that requires PMF, and older scanners disappear from client lists. If the revised setting disrupts users, which controlled rollback would be most relevant?
- Reinstate the previously compatible enterprise SSID on an isolated approved scope pending endpoint remediation.
- Restore measured power values from the last acceptable RF survey if the new settings create coverage holes.
- Reinstate the last suitable channel widths if the new layout lowers real multi-client throughput.
- Reinstate the prior stable security roaming mode on affected legacy devices while validating a separate fast-transition rollout.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Reinstate the previously compatible enterprise SSID on an isolated approved scope pending endpoint remediation. Protected Management Frames are required for modern WPA3 modes; clients must advertise compatible security capabilities before association. The focused rollback restores a known safe baseline before another change attempt. The decision applies to the described wpa3 enterprise pmf requirements situation.
Incorrect Answers
B:Restore measured power values from the last acceptable RF survey if the new settings create coverage holes. This instead concerns rf transmit power and cell overlap. Excessive RF power can create large cells and mismatched uplink or downlink coverage; design balances client transmit capability and reuse. It would not safely roll back the relevant failed change. The immediate problem concerns wpa3 enterprise pmf requirements.
C:Reinstate the last suitable channel widths if the new layout lowers real multi-client throughput. This instead concerns 20/40/80 mhz channel width tradeoff. Wider channels increase potential peak PHY rate but reduce independent channel reuse opportunities in high-density deployments. It would not safely roll back the relevant failed change. The immediate problem concerns wpa3 enterprise pmf requirements.
D:Reinstate the prior stable security roaming mode on affected legacy devices while validating a separate fast-transition rollout. This instead concerns 802.11r fast transition compatibility. 802.11r can reduce authentication delay during roaming, but client support must be checked before applying it to every device. It would not safely roll back the relevant failed change. The immediate problem concerns wpa3 enterprise pmf requirements.
Question 361
A multi-floor deployment raises every AP to maximum power and causes sticky clients and excessive overlapping cell interference. Which investigation would best isolate the immediate network dependency?
- Inspect AP transmit power, client SNR and cell overlap with a current site survey.
- Inspect spectrum availability, number of reuse cells and client throughput versus channel width.
- Inspect client 802.11r capability, roaming events and fast-transition negotiation logs.
- Inspect roaming scan time and whether the AP advertises accurate 802.11k neighbor lists to capable clients.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Inspect AP transmit power, client SNR and cell overlap with a current site survey. Excessive RF power can create large cells and mismatched uplink or downlink coverage; design balances client transmit capability and reuse. The evidence check isolates the relevant prerequisite before a disruptive change. The decision applies to the described rf transmit power and cell overlap situation.
Incorrect Answers
B:Inspect spectrum availability, number of reuse cells and client throughput versus channel width. This instead concerns 20/40/80 mhz channel width tradeoff.

It does not isolate the cause of the stated incident. The immediate problem concerns rf transmit power and cell overlap.
D:Inspect roaming scan time and whether the AP advertises accurate 802.11k neighbor lists to capable clients. This instead concerns 802.11k neighbor reports. 802.11k neighbor reports help clients find candidate BSSIDs efficiently but cannot create real RF coverage or force a roam. It does not isolate the cause of the stated incident. The immediate problem concerns rf transmit power and cell overlap.
Question 362
A multi-floor deployment raises every AP to maximum power and causes sticky clients and excessive overlapping cell interference. Which specific corrective design step best meets the stated campus requirement?
- Choose channel widths that balance per-link bandwidth with neighboring-cell reuse and interference requirements.
- Use a supported fast-transition SSID for compatible voice clients and a separate approved alternative for legacy devices.
- Enable supported neighbor-report assistance and maintain an accurate AP neighbor topology for the roaming SSID.
- Tune AP power and channel reuse to maintain adequate overlap without creating oversized high-contention cells.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Tune AP power and channel reuse to maintain adequate overlap without creating oversized high-contention cells. Excessive RF power can create large cells and mismatched uplink or downlink coverage; design balances client transmit capability and reuse. The proposed configuration targets the stated dependency without broadening unrelated access. The decision applies to the described rf transmit power and cell overlap situation.
Incorrect Answers
A:Choose channel widths that balance per-link bandwidth with neighboring-cell reuse and interference requirements. This instead concerns 20/40/80 mhz channel width tradeoff.

The immediate problem concerns rf transmit power and cell overlap.
B:Use a supported fast-transition SSID for compatible voice clients and a separate approved alternative for legacy devices. This instead concerns 802.11r fast transition compatibility. 802.11r can reduce authentication delay during roaming, but client support must be checked before applying it to every device.

Question 363
A multi-floor deployment raises every AP to maximum power and causes sticky clients and excessive overlapping cell interference. Following a targeted change, which acceptance test would most directly demonstrate success?
- Compare peak-hour aggregate throughput, retries and channel busy time after a controlled width change.
- Verify low-interruption handoffs and successful authentication for target handsets in a controlled walk test.
- Validate roaming thresholds and retry behavior across the intended coverage boundaries.
- Confirm clients receive expected neighbor reports and reduce scan delay without losing coverage during movement.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Validate roaming thresholds and retry behavior across the intended coverage boundaries. Excessive RF power can create large cells and mismatched uplink or downlink coverage; design balances client transmit capability and reuse. The result tests actual working behavior, not merely a saved configuration. The decision applies to the described rf transmit power and cell overlap situation.

Question 364
A multi-floor deployment raises every AP to maximum power and causes sticky clients and excessive overlapping cell interference. The change fails acceptance. What is the safest targeted restoration action?
