Read the first 7 IT Infrastructure & Networking flashcards as text

  1. Which HP ProLiant server feature allows administrators to remotely manage a server even when the OS is down or the server is powered off?

    Answer: HP iLO (Integrated Lights-Out)

    HP iLO provides out-of-band remote management capabilities independent of the server's OS or power state.

  2. In an HP FlexFabric networking environment, what does 'IRF' (Intelligent Resilient Framework) primarily provide?

    Answer: Virtual chassis stacking for unified management

    IRF allows multiple physical HP switches to be virtualized into a single logical device, simplifying management and improving resilience.

  3. Which RAID level used in HP Smart Array controllers provides disk striping with dual parity, tolerating up to two simultaneous drive failures?

    Answer: RAID 6

    RAID 6 uses dual distributed parity, allowing the array to survive two concurrent drive failures without data loss.

  4. What is the purpose of HP Virtual Connect in a BladeSystem environment?

    Answer: Abstracting server I/O from the physical network infrastructure

    HP Virtual Connect decouples server I/O from the network, allowing server profiles to be moved without reconfiguring upstream switches.

  5. An HP Aruba switch is configured with 802.1X port-based authentication. What happens to traffic from a device that fails authentication by default?

    Answer: The port is placed in an unauthorized state and traffic is blocked

    By default, when 802.1X authentication fails, the switch port enters an unauthorized state and drops all non-EAP traffic.

  6. Which technology in HP Synergy composable infrastructure allows compute, storage, and network resources to be dynamically allocated as needed?

    Answer: Software-defined resource pools

    HP Synergy uses software-defined resource pools that let administrators compose and recompose infrastructure resources on demand.

  7. In HP networking, what does the term 'uplink' refer to in the context of a top-of-rack (ToR) switch?

    Answer: A port connecting to a higher-tier aggregation or core switch

    Uplink ports on a ToR switch connect to aggregation or core layer switches higher in the network hierarchy.
