A large multinational financial institution has engaged you to design a new full-stack wired and wireless network for its new 6-story regional office building. The bottom two floors of the facility will provide retail space for a large banking branch. The upper floors will be carpeted corporate office space, with each floor approximately 100,000 sq ft (9290 sq m). All data centers are offsite and outside this project’s scope. The customer is inadequately served by its existing L2-based network infrastructure and wants to use modern best practices in the new design. The network must be fully resilient and fault-tolerant, with dynamic segmentation at the edge.
The retail space will offer public guest Wi-Fi access. Retail associates will use corporate tablets for customer service, and the retail floors will contain a mix of wired and wireless devices. Corporate users will mainly connect wirelessly, although several wired clients, printers, and hard VoIP phones will also be used.
The customer also plans to renovate the corporate office space to take advantage of “smart office” technology. These enhancements will enable blue-dot wayfinding, presence analytics, and other location-based services.
The client wants redundant RADIUS resources in each of its three geographic regions: AMER, EMEA, and APAC. A large office location in each region has sufficient VMware resources available.
Each region has between 4,481 and 5,692 clients, all of which must perform either 802.1X wired or wireless authentication, as well as 802.1X authentication for one personal Wi-Fi device.
All non-personal devices must also validate health using a local agent.
A total of 500 guests are expected to be connected on average, with a maximum of 700 simultaneous connections using Guest Portal for Internet access.
TACACS authentication will also be configured for 1200 evenly distributed NADs.
How many OnGuard Licenses are required in this scenario?

A global cruise line company needs to modernize its existing fleet. It will refresh the ship’s “insides” to improve cost-effectiveness and sustainability, replacing all WLAN/LAN hardware. During this refresh, the company will retain its existing security requirements. The CIO also wants to minimize unused switch ports. Any future expansion will always involve a hardware refresh. The project begins with the smallest ship, which has a maximum of 800 guests.
Each ship has a LAN infrastructure comprising two core switches, up to 10 redundant distribution switches, and up to 500 access switches (400 cabins and 100 technical rooms). The core switches are in the ship’s MDF, and the distribution switches are in the IDFs. Every cabin and technical room receives one access switch.
The ship’s cabling structure will remain unchanged. Each IDF connects to the MDF through SMF, with two pairs available for the interconnect between core and distribution. The SMF distance between MDF and IDF is under 300 meters (980 ft), and it is OS1. Each cabin connects to the IDF through a single OM2 pair, with a maximum distance of 60 meters (200 ft). Each technical room connects to the IDF through a single OM2 pair, with distances from 100 to 150 meters (320 to 500 ft).
For every cabin and technical room, the customer wants to replace the existing fan-less 2530/2540 switches without changing requirements, except that the uplink to the distribution switch must be upgraded to 10GbE to accommodate increased network traffic, and technical rooms require redundant power.
The WLAN infrastructure will be refreshed 1:1, with no new cabling or AP locations. It uses 200/300 series indoor and outdoor APs running InstantOS (fewer than 300 APs), and the customer has no WLAN requirement changes.
The cruise line company will replace its existing Internet connection before the LAN/WLAN refresh. The new Internet connection will provide 99.8% uptime, needed to keep paid guest Wi-Fi operational. With this new Internet connection, the CIO wants to base the design on Aruba’s ESP architecture because the Internet connection is guaranteed.
Based on best practices, what optic type should be recommended for the connection between the IDF and the cabins?
A10G BASE-T SFP+ RJ-45 30 m Cat6A Transceiver
B10G SFP+ LC LRM 220 m MMF Transceiver
C10G SFP+ LC SR 300 m MMF Transceiver

Given the recent CTO change, the manufacturing customer is eager to receive clear project proposals and decision-making support.
As the network-solutions provider, your role is to address these concerns, provide expert guidance, and present a clearly defined plan that effectively meets their objectives.
Assume that the current network infrastructure has no wireless shadow-IT equipment operating across the different floors/production sites, but you want to confirm this. How can you determine whether wireless shadow-IT equipment is currently in operation?
ADo a ping sweep and document the hostnames/responses. Find out the connected switch port and walk to this location.
BAsk employees if they use 3rd party equipment to create isolated Hotspots.
CDo a passive site survey, analyze the outcome together with the customer, and decommission this equipment wherever possible.
DUse a wireless sniffer like Wireshark to scan the environment and look for anomalies.
A global cruise-line company needs to refresh its current fleet. It will refresh the ship’s internal infrastructure to be cost-effective and improve sustainability. It will replace all WLAN/LAN hardware on the ship. As part of this refresh, the company will not change its existing security requirements.

A large multinational financial institution has hired you to design a new full-stack wired and wireless network for its new 6-story regional office building. The lowest two floors of the facility will be retail space for a large banking branch. The upper floors will be carpeted corporate office space, with each floor measuring approximately 100,000 sq ft (9290 sq m). All data centers are offsite and are outside this project’s scope. The customer is underserved by its current L2-based network infrastructure and wants to apply modern best practices in the new design. The network must be fully resilient and fault-tolerant, with dynamic segmentation at the edge.
The retail space will provide public guest Wi-Fi access. Retail associates will use corporate tablets for customer service, and the retail floors will contain a mix of wired and wireless devices. Corporate users will primarily connect wirelessly, although several wired clients, printers, and hard VoIP phones will also be used.
The customer also plans to renovate the corporate office space to take advantage of 'smart office' technology. These enhancements will enable blue-dot wayfinding, presence analytics, and other location-based services.
The client wants to use lower-cost OS-CX switches in its wiring closets. It calculates that each closet will require a stack of qty 6 POE (AT) and qty 4 Gigabit Ethernet switches, stacked with low-cost DACs.
