HP Architecting HP Network Solutions - HP0-Y45 Exam Questions [2026]

QUESTION NO: 1
How does a solution such as HP Secure Virtualized Framework (SVF) meet the specialized needs of a virtualized data center?

A. It contains the monitoring of traffic that passes between VMs without passing through an external switch. B. It has specialized signatures that detect the viruses and malware created to exploit ESXi vulnerabilities. C. It integrates with VMware virtual switch, allowing the switch to apply dynamic Virus Throttling policies. D. It shifts the focus from what is happening inside the physical server to the east-west traffic that flows between the virtualized servers in different segments of the data center.

Correct Answer: A

QUESTION NO: 2
Refer to the exhibit.

A network architect is designing the logical topology for a campus LAN networking solution. The customer requires support for 2400 edge ports, which is provided by 10 intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) groups at the access layer. This customer does not have a wireless network nor applications adding one in the next two years. However, the customer does want to authenticate users 802.1X and use the network RADIUS server to divide users from different groups into different VLANs. The customer has three user groups, each of which includes between 600 and 900 users.
Additionally, the customer understands that the RADIUS server will require several policies but wants to keep these policies as simple and easy to maintain as possible.
How can the network architect ensures that the solution meets the customer needs and also follows best practices?

A. Plan a solution for deploying dissolvable agents to the endpoints so that they can complete 802.1X authentication seamlessly. B. Plan a different VLAN ID and subnet address for each user group on each access layer IRF group, Either core or access layer routing will work for this solution. C. Use access layer routing. Assign a different subnet to VLAN 2 one access layer IRF group than to VLAN 2 on another access layer group, and so on. D. Assign a /23 subnet to each VLAN so that the VLAN can accommodate the required number of users, even if users connect multiple devices.

Correct Answer: B

QUESTION NO: 3
A network architect is designing a solution with HP products. A customer has the following requirements for controlling the management access for administrators:
-Administrators are assignedprivileges whenthey loginbased on their identity. -Security policies related topasswordcompatibility and passwordrotation, likethe
company'swindows domain policies, areenforced foradministrator credentials -The company can easily resolvethe access of administratorswho leave the company -Administrators have a backdoorinto the management interfacein case network connectivityfails
in any way.
Which options meets the company's requirements?

A. Authentication to RADIUS server with local authentication as a secondary method. B. Authentication with a password that meets the complexity requirements and is stored locally on each device. C. Authentication to a TACACS+ server. D. Authentication to local user accounts with TACACS+ authentication as a secondary method.

Correct Answer: A

QUESTION NO: 4
A physical server has 6 NICs and supports eight virtual machines (VMs). NIC 1 and NIC 2 connect
the VMs to the data Center LAN. The two NICs are intended to provide load balancing and redundancy (the other NICs are used for purposes not relevant to this question) VMs 1 through 5 belong to VLAN 10. VMs 6 through 8 belong to VLAN 20.
What is a proper way to set up the switch or virtual switches?

A. Virtual switch 1 supports VLAN 10, maps to NIC 1, and maps to virtual NICs on all VMs.
Virtual switch 2 supports VLAN 10, maps to NIC 1, and maps to all VMs. B. Virtual switch 1 supports VLAN 10 and VLAN 20, maps to NIC 1 and NIC 2, and supports all VMs. C. Virtual switch 1 supports VLAN 10, maps to NIC 1 and NIC 2, and maps to virtual NICs on VMs
1 through 5.
Virtual switch 2 supports VLAN 20, maps to NIC 1 and NIC2, and amps to virtual NICs on VMs 6
through 6. D. Virtual switch 1 supports VLAN 10, maps to NIC 1, and maps to VMs 1 through 5. Virtual switch 2 supports VLAN 20, maps to NIC 2, and maps to VMs 6 through 8.

Correct Answer: D

QUESTION NO: 5
Refer to the exhibit.

A network architect has planned redundant links, as shown in the exhibit.
What should the network architect do to ensure that the redundant link design is truly resilient?

A. Add another link between the Layer 2 switches and the core so that up to two links can fail. B. Make sure that each HP 10508 switch is configured as a root in one Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) instance. C. Implement a feature such as bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) on each redundant link. D. Implement features such as link aggregation, stacked meshing, and intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF).

Correct Answer: C

QUESTION NO: 6
What distinguishes user acceptance tests (UATs) from validation tests?

A. UATs analyze at all OSI layer from 1 through 7, while validation tests stop at Layer 3. B. UATs tests applications as they are used by real users, while validation tests check specific functionality. C. UATs require a trial run to construct a baseline, while validation tests never require initial baselines. D. UATs test applications, while validation tests only test connectivity.

Correct Answer: B
