HPE Aruba Certified Central Associate (ACCA) — Question 6

A retail store chain customer is replacing 1,479 AOS-S switches with HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 switches. The customer is interested in utilizing ZTP to provision the new switches. Still, they are concerned about when the switch starts the ZTP process and whether the ZTP may change configurations on the switches already deployed.
What would address this concern?

Answer options

• A. If the ZTP operation detects that the switch has already been added to Aruba Networking Central, the ZTP operation ends.
• B. If the ZTP operation detects that the switch configuration is different from the factory default configuration, the ZTP operation ends.
• C. If the ZTP operation detects that ztp force-provisioning is set, software and configuration are automatically deployed, and the ZTP operation starts.
• D. If the ZTP operation detects that the DHCP option provided by the TFTP server already has the switch serial number assigned as a configuration file, the ZTP operation ends.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it ensures that the ZTP process will not proceed if the switch has a configuration that deviates from the factory default, thus preventing unintended changes to existing configurations. The other options relate to conditions that do not directly address the customer's concern about altering current configurations.
