Which methods can an administrator implement to provide higher security within a management network? (Select two.)

Correct Answer: A 🗳️
A: Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for collecting and organizing information about managed devices on IP networks and for modifying that information to change device behavior.
Three significant versions of SNMP have been developed and deployed. SNMPv1 is the original version of the protocol. More recent versions, SNMPv2c and
SNMPv3, feature improvements in performance, flexibility and security.
B: The SNMP Read-Only Community String is like a password. It is sent along with each SNMP Get-Request and allows (or denies) access to device. Most network vendors ship their equipment with a default password of "public". (This is the so-called "default public community string".) Many network administrators change the community string to keep intruders from getting information about the network setup. This is a good idea. Even if it's only read-access, an intruder can learn a lot about a network that could be used to compromise it.

A customer is considering the DL380 Gen9 as the platform standard for its VLAN cluster. The configuration will use 24 drives. Each 8-drive cage will contain 1
SSD and 7 SATA drives.
Which array controller should the architect recommend for this configuration?

Correct Answer: D 🗳️
HPE Flexible Smart Array P440ar controller has 8 Internal SAS/SATA physical links across 2 x4 ports.
The controller supports the HPE SmartCache feature, which is a controller-based read and write caching solution in a DAS environment that caches the most frequently accessed data ("hot" data) onto lower latency SSDs to dynamically accelerate application workloads. The HPE SmartCache architecture is flexible and supports any HPE ProLiant Gen9 supported HDD for bulk storage and any HPE ProLiant Gen9 supported SSD as an accelerator.

A system administrator is concerned about a high number of visitors connecting to a companys network. In addition to the production network traffic, the network infrastructure is used for the systems management traffic to the companys servers.
What should the administrator do to separate traffic?

Correct Answer: D 🗳️
Quality of service (QoS) protocols allow a router to distinguish different classes of traffic and serve each class according to its priority and needs.

A customers database is slow to respond, and the customer meets response times to be dramatically increased.
Which solution should the architect recommend to achieve this result?

Correct Answer: B 🗳️
HPE PCIe Workload Accelerators allows you to implement ten times the number of virtual machines compared to typical virtualization environments.
Achieve significant energy cost savings with 70% more compute per Watt of power with server and Accelerators.
Reduces data center footprint by hosting an entire database on one HPE PCIe Workload Accelerator.
