HP HPE7-A01 Practice Test 60
Question 590
An office rollout enforces wired 802.1X, and all supplicants time out after the switch management VRF loses its route to the authentication server. After the root cause is confirmed, which narrowly scoped configuration action should be selected?
- Choose a supported multi-endpoint authentication profile with separate authorized voice and data roles for the port.
- Set up restricted MAC authentication for the verified non-supplicant class while preserving normal 802.1X for capable endpoints.
- Match server-issued role or VLAN attributes with the supported switch authorization profile and valid local role names.
- Reinstate the approved RADIUS server address and routing path and apply an appropriate authorized 802.1X profile.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Reinstate the approved RADIUS server address and routing path and apply an appropriate authorized 802.1X profile. Wired 802.1X requires successful EAP communication through a RADIUS-backed authenticator; carrier state is not authorization. The proposed configuration targets the stated dependency without broadening unrelated access. The decision applies to the described wired 802.1x and radius reachability situation.
Incorrect Answers
A:Choose a supported multi-endpoint authentication profile with separate authorized voice and data roles for the port. This instead concerns voice and data endpoints on an access port. Voice-plus-data access requires careful multi-device admission; one shared physical port does not imply one authorization context. It would not implement the specifically required change. The immediate problem concerns wired 802.1x and radius reachability.
B:Set up restricted MAC authentication for the verified non-supplicant class while preserving normal 802.1X for capable endpoints. This instead concerns mac authentication bypass for non-supplicants. MAC authentication is an identity fallback for unsupported devices, not equivalent to certificate-backed EAP assurance. It would not implement the specifically required change. The immediate problem concerns wired 802.1x and radius reachability.
C:Match server-issued role or VLAN attributes with the supported switch authorization profile and valid local role names. This instead concerns radius-returned vlan and role attributes. Successful RADIUS authentication is separate from authorization attributes; the switch must parse and apply the returned policy correctly. It would not implement the specifically required change. The immediate problem concerns wired 802.1x and radius reachability.
Question 591
An office rollout enforces wired 802.1X, and all supplicants time out after the switch management VRF loses its route to the authentication server. A deployment job reports success. Which observed result would actually validate the affected service?
- Confirm both approved devices receive their appropriate role or VLAN and an extra unauthorized device stays blocked.
- Confirm the known device receives only its narrow role and an unregistered MAC does not acquire equivalent access.
- Confirm a valid supplicant is authenticated and a negative-credential test remains denied.
- Confirm the authenticated endpoint receives the intended effective role and access enforcement.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Confirm a valid supplicant is authenticated and a negative-credential test remains denied. Wired 802.1X requires successful EAP communication through a RADIUS-backed authenticator; carrier state is not authorization. The result tests actual working behavior, not merely a saved configuration. The decision applies to the described wired 802.1x and radius reachability situation.
Incorrect Answers
A:Confirm both approved devices receive their appropriate role or VLAN and an extra unauthorized device stays blocked. This instead concerns voice and data endpoints on an access port. Voice-plus-data access requires careful multi-device admission; one shared physical port does not imply one authorization context. It would not establish that this function actually works. The immediate problem concerns wired 802.1x and radius reachability.
B:Confirm the known device receives only its narrow role and an unregistered MAC does not acquire equivalent access. This instead concerns mac authentication bypass for non-supplicants. MAC authentication is an identity fallback for unsupported devices, not equivalent to certificate-backed EAP assurance. It would not establish that this function actually works. The immediate problem concerns wired 802.1x and radius reachability.
D:Confirm the authenticated endpoint receives the intended effective role and access enforcement. This instead concerns radius-returned vlan and role attributes. Successful RADIUS authentication is separate from authorization attributes; the switch must parse and apply the returned policy correctly. It would not establish that this function actually works. The immediate problem concerns wired 802.1x and radius reachability.
Question 592
An office rollout enforces wired 802.1X, and all supplicants time out after the switch management VRF loses its route to the authentication server. The review requires TWO complementary actions: one diagnostic check and one controlled configuration remedy. Select TWO actions that together meet those requirements.
- Review per-port authentication mode, voice VLAN identity and simultaneous phone and workstation session states.
- Review the 802.1X session state, RADIUS server reachability and EAP exchange logs from the switch.
- Set up restricted MAC authentication for the verified non-supplicant class while preserving normal 802.1X for capable endpoints.
- Reinstate the approved RADIUS server address and routing path and apply an appropriate authorized 802.1X profile.
Explanation
Correct Answers
B:Review the 802.1X session state, RADIUS server reachability and EAP exchange logs from the switch. Wired 802.1X requires successful EAP communication through a RADIUS-backed authenticator; carrier state is not authorization. This is the required diagnosis or controlled remedy; the other keyed action supplies the complementary role. The decision applies to the described wired 802.1x and radius reachability situation.
D:Reinstate the approved RADIUS server address and routing path and apply an appropriate authorized 802.1X profile. Wired 802.1X requires successful EAP communication through a RADIUS-backed authenticator; carrier state is not authorization. This is the required diagnosis or controlled remedy; the other keyed action supplies the complementary role. The decision applies to the described wired 802.1x and radius reachability situation.
Incorrect Answers
A:Review per-port authentication mode, voice VLAN identity and simultaneous phone and workstation session states. This instead concerns voice and data endpoints on an access port. Voice-plus-data access requires careful multi-device admission; one shared physical port does not imply one authorization context. It is not one of the requested paired diagnosis and configuration actions. The immediate problem concerns wired 802.1x and radius reachability.
C:Set up restricted MAC authentication for the verified non-supplicant class while preserving normal 802.1X for capable endpoints. This instead concerns mac authentication bypass for non-supplicants. MAC authentication is an identity fallback for unsupported devices, not equivalent to certificate-backed EAP assurance. It is not one of the requested paired diagnosis and configuration actions. The immediate problem concerns wired 802.1x and radius reachability.
Question 593
A desk IP phone and attached PC share a switch port, but the authorized voice endpoint is denied because the port allows only one authenticated session. Which investigation would best isolate the immediate network dependency?
- Inspect whether the endpoint supplies an 802.1X supplicant and whether MAC-based fallback is permitted by policy.
- Inspect per-port authentication mode, voice VLAN identity and simultaneous phone and workstation session states.
- Inspect RADIUS Access-Accept attributes and the switch's configured role or VLAN mapping behavior.
- Inspect ClearPass service selection, ordered enforcement rules and the actual request attributes used by the policy.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Inspect per-port authentication mode, voice VLAN identity and simultaneous phone and workstation session states. Voice-plus-data access requires careful multi-device admission; one shared physical port does not imply one authorization context. The evidence check isolates the relevant prerequisite before a disruptive change. The decision applies to the described voice and data endpoints on an access port situation.
Incorrect Answers
A:Inspect whether the endpoint supplies an 802.1X supplicant and whether MAC-based fallback is permitted by policy. This instead concerns mac authentication bypass for non-supplicants. MAC authentication is an identity fallback for unsupported devices, not equivalent to certificate-backed EAP assurance. It does not isolate the cause of the stated incident. The immediate problem concerns voice and data endpoints on an access port.
C:Inspect RADIUS Access-Accept attributes and the switch's configured role or VLAN mapping behavior. This instead concerns radius-returned vlan and role attributes. Successful RADIUS authentication is separate from authorization attributes; the switch must parse and apply the returned policy correctly. It does not isolate the cause of the stated incident. The immediate problem concerns voice and data endpoints on an access port.
D:Inspect ClearPass service selection, ordered enforcement rules and the actual request attributes used by the policy. This instead concerns clearpass policy ordering and enforcement. An identity engine applies service and enforcement policies in an ordered context; a successful EAP exchange cannot repair misordered authorization. It does not isolate the cause of the stated incident. The immediate problem concerns voice and data endpoints on an access port.
Question 594
A desk IP phone and attached PC share a switch port, but the authorized voice endpoint is denied because the port allows only one authenticated session. Which specific corrective design step best meets the stated campus requirement?

Question 595
A desk IP phone and attached PC share a switch port, but the authorized voice endpoint is denied because the port allows only one authenticated session. Following a targeted change, which acceptance test would most directly demonstrate success?
- Verify the known device receives only its narrow role and an unregistered MAC does not acquire equivalent access.
- Verify the authenticated endpoint receives the intended effective role and access enforcement.
- Verify staff and contractor test accounts produce their distinct authorized roles with audit records.
- Verify both approved devices receive their appropriate role or VLAN and an extra unauthorized device stays blocked.

Question 596
A desk IP phone and attached PC share a switch port, but the authorized voice endpoint is denied because the port allows only one authenticated session. The change fails acceptance. What is the safest targeted restoration action?
- Restore the last limited device exception and disable an overbroad fallback rule if unauthorized devices match.
- Restore the last correct role dictionary and VLAN mappings if attribute changes grant excess access.
- Restore a known-good phone-only policy while correcting the workstation's separate authentication conditions.
- Restore the previous reviewed ClearPass policy order and disable the erroneous broad match.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Restore a known-good phone-only policy while correcting the workstation's separate authentication conditions. Voice-plus-data access requires careful multi-device admission; one shared physical port does not imply one authorization context. The focused rollback restores a known safe baseline before another change attempt. The decision applies to the described voice and data endpoints on an access port situation.
Incorrect Answers
A:Restore the last limited device exception and disable an overbroad fallback rule if unauthorized devices match. This instead concerns mac authentication bypass for non-supplicants. MAC authentication is an identity fallback for unsupported devices, not equivalent to certificate-backed EAP assurance. It would not safely roll back the relevant failed change. The immediate problem concerns voice and data endpoints on an access port.

Question 597
A hospital phone registers while the connected workstation fails wired 802.1X because its session is misclassified as voice. Before implementing a remedy, what should the engineer check first?
- Review whether the endpoint supplies an 802.1X supplicant and whether MAC-based fallback is permitted by policy.
- Review per-port authentication mode, voice VLAN identity and simultaneous phone and workstation session states.
- Review RADIUS Access-Accept attributes and the switch's configured role or VLAN mapping behavior.
