Who should take the exam? Anyone can take the Implementing HP Network Infrastructure Solutions (HP-Y3) exam, but most successful candidates have two years of real-world experience implementing or maintaining network infrastructure solutions in a campus LAN or enterprise environment. Successful candidates also prepare for the test in a variety of ways. This guide describes some of these ways and provides references to materials for further preparation. 8

9 NOTE Anyone can take the exam, but passing it only helps you to achieve certification if you have one of the prior achievements listed in Table or Table 2. If you are a new candidate, obtain the HP AIS [2] certification first. Who does not need to take this exam? You do not need to take this exam if you have achieved any of the following: ASE HP ProCurve (26 or later) and HP Enterprise Networking Products Technical Qualification [2] ASE HP ProCurve Campus LANs [2] and HP Enterprise Networking Products Technical Qualification [2] HP ASE Wireless Networks [2] ASE HP ProCurve Mobility (29 or 2) certification If you have any of the first three achievements, you only need to take the Designing and Troubleshooting Open Standard Networks (HP-Y32) exam to obtain the HP ASE Network Infrastructure [2] certification. If you need the HP ASE Wireless Networks [2] certification, you can then take only the Implementing HP Wireless Networks (HP-Y33) exam. If you have ASE HP ProCurve Mobility (29 or 2) certification, take only the Wireless Networks ASE 2 Delta (HP-Y35) exam to earn the HP ASE Wireless Networks [2] certification. Then, after you pass the Designing and Troubleshooting Open Standard Networks (HP-Y32) exam, you also receive the HP ASE Network Infrastructure [2] certification. How to study for the exam The Implementing HP Network Infrastructure Solutions (HP-Y3) exam tests you on topics that are covered in several HP instructor-led training (ILT) and Web-based training (WBT) courses. Table 3 indicates the training specifically recommended for you based on your current achievements. While it is recommended that you complete this training, the training is neither required nor does it guarantee that you will pass the exam. It is expected that you will also study on your own and draw on your real-world experience. Read the sections below to further assess your options. Even if you do not intend to complete the recommended ILTs and WBTs, you should examine the topics that they cover because the exam will test you on your mastery of these topics. 9

More information on all four ILTs including the recommended qualifications for candidates attending the Accelerated course is available in this exam preparation guide. More information is also provided on the WBTs. Study tips based on your certification First you might want to choose topics on which to focus based on your current skills: HP AIS Network Infrastructure [2] Any ASE H3CSE CCNP Routing and Switching or Wireless You can then read about specific study methods. HP AIS [2] With your current certification, you are ready to succeed at training at the ASE level. All of the training at this level is recommended for you to give you the best chances at succeeding. This guide also provides other suggestions for preparing. To learn more about ways to prepare for the Implementing HP Network Infrastructure Solutions (HP-Y3) exam, continue reading, beginning at: Attend recommended ILTs.

11 Any ASE certification Your current knowledge of HP E-Series products, including their security features, should be sufficient. (Of course, you might need to review if you received your certification several years ago.) However, you will need to expand your knowledge of the HP A-Series products and technologies to pass the exam. As indicated in the table, you might consider taking just the Implementing HP A-Series Networks ILT and reviewing the Internet and WAN Technologies WBT, if you have not completed that WBT before. To learn more about ways to prepare for the Implementing HP Network Infrastructure Solutions (HP-Y3) exam, continue reading, beginning at: Attend recommended ILTs. H3CSE certification Your current knowledge of HP A-Series products should be sufficient. However, you must understand how to implement the same protocols with which you are familiar on A-Series products on E-Series products as well. In addition, you must be able to implement network security on both HP A-Series and E-Series products as well as understand general concepts related to HP security technologies. You should take the ILTs and WBTs recommended to you. To learn more about ways to prepare for the Implementing HP Network Infrastructure Solutions (HP-Y3) exam, continue reading, beginning at: Attend recommended ILTs. CCNP Routing and Switching or Wireless certification The Implementing HP Network Infrastructure Solutions (HP-Y3) exam tests both your general knowledge of intermediate switching, routing, and security technologies as well as your specific ability to implement these technologies on HP products. As a Cisco-certified professional, you should not find the general knowledge questions difficult although you might want to review concepts that you have not studied recently using the WBTs described later in this guide. In particular, if you have the Wireless certification, you might need to expand your knowledge of switching and security technologies. While you do not need to produce exact CLI commands from memory, you must demonstrate that you can navigate HP products CLIs and follow the proper procedures to configure settings. If you do not attend the recommended ILTs, which provide hands-on experience in a lab, you should practice configuring the switching and routing technologies covered in the courses on actual HP A-Series and E-Series products. To learn more about ways to prepare for the exam, continue reading, beginning at: Attend recommended ILTs. Attend recommended ILTs Four ILTs are available to help you to prepare for this exam. The first three are: Implementing HP E-Series Networks, Rev.4 or later (4 days) Implementing HP A-Series Networks, Rev..4 or later (5 days) Implementing HP Network Infrastructure Security, Rev..4 or later (2 days) You are highly encouraged to attend these courses, where you will expand your knowledge of networking and security technologies and gain hands-on experience implementing these technologies on HP equipment.

HP welcomes these comments as part of our continuous improvement process. Tips for taking HP exams Rather than emphasize simple memorization, HP exams attempt to assess whether you have the knowledge and skills that a networking professional requires on the job. Therefore, some questions feature exhibits or scenarios. As you see, you will have an average of just less than two minutes per question. Some questions will take much less time, and some will require a bit more. If allowed by the systems, you might want to answer the questions about which you are sure first and then move back to the others. Before you do answer a question, take the time to read the question and all of the options carefully. If the question indicates that it features an exhibit, study the exhibit and reread the question. Make sure to select the answer that correctly responds to the question that is asked not simply an answer that includes some correct information. If the question asks for more than one answer, remember to select each correct answer. You do not receive partial credit for a partially correct answer.

25 5. An endpoint that supports both IPv4 and IPv6 is connected to your HP A36 switch. You want to assign to IPv4 traffic to VLAN 4 and the IPv6 traffic to VLAN 6. How do you do so? Conclusion a. Specify VLAN 6 as a protocol-based VLAN that selects IPv6. Configure the endpoint s port as a hybrid port. Set VLAN 4 as the PVID and VLAN 6 as a protocol VLAN. b. Configure the endpoint s port as a trunk port. Set VLAN 4 as the PVID and allow VLAN 6. c. Specify VLAN 6 as a protocol-based VLAN that selects IPv6. Configure the endpoint s port as a trunk port. Allow both VLAN 4 and 6, setting either VLAN as the PVID. d. Configure the endpoint s port as an access port set to VLAN 4. Then specify VLAN 6 as the access port s protocol-based VLAN setting. HP wishes you success in the HP ExpertONE Program and in passing the exam for which you are preparing. Appendix: Answers to the sample questions This section provides answers and explanations for the sample questions.. Your network is routing multicast messages using Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM). A multicast source begins to a new stream. What message does the default router for the multicast source send? a. a Join message to the Bootstrap Router (BSR) b. a Join message to the Rendezvous Point (RP) c. a Register message to the Bootstrap Router (BSR) d. a Register message to the Rendezvous Point (RP) Explanation: In PIM-SIM, a router sends a Join message to indicate that it needs to join the PIM-SM tree so that it can receive multicasts for hosts connected to it or to a downstream router. It is a Register message that indicates that the router is the first-hop router for a multicast source. Therefore, the correct answer must specify a Register message, and answers a and b are incorrect. The BSR is responsible for distributing RP-to-multicast address mappings. The RP is responsible for acting as the root of the tree for a particular multicast address, and Register messages are addressed to it. Answer d is correct. 2. Examine the exhibit. While configuring the HP E822 zl switch to be an ABR for OSPF areas and 2, you entered this command in the switch s CLI: E546(ospf)# area 2 stub 2 no-summary 25

26 Figure : Exhibit for question 2 If you assume that all the connections are up and the OSPF routers have achieved adjacency, which routes could you see on the E542 zl switch in area 2? The routing tables associated with each option are listed on the next pages. a. A b. B c. C d. D Explanation: : A stub area typically receives interarea routes that summarize the networks in other areas. However, the command shown for the E822 zl ABR configures the routing switch to suppress those summary routes in its advertisements to routers in area 2. The ABR will only send an advertisement for a default route into area 2. The routing tables in answers a and c include OSPF interarea routes summarizing other areas, so these answerss are incorrect. In addition, the table in answer a includes a summary route for this internal routing switch s own area, which is also incorrect. The routing table in answer d does not include interarea summary routes, which is correct, but it also lacks a default route. The E822 zl automatically injects a default route into stub areas without summary routes. Therefore, answer d is incorrect. The only interarea OSPF route shown in answer b is the default route. This answer is correct.

The LAN shown in the exhibit is being designed as a single DiffServ domain. On which ports should packets be marked (or remarked) to comply with the DiffServ Model? Select two. a. inter-switch ports between the distribution layer switches b. the ports that connect the edge switches to the distribution switches c. the ports that connect the distribution ports to the edge switches d. clientt access ports IRF Member 3 remains Master. e. serverr access ports Figure 2: Exhibit for question 3 27

28 Explanation:: The DiffServ model specifies that you mark traffic (or remark already marked traffic) with a DSCP as close to the source as possible. For traffic destined to servers, the closest ports are the client access ports, so answer d is one correct answer. For return traffic from the servers to the clients, the closest ports as the server access ports, so answer e is another correct answer. In a LAN that is a single DiffServ domain, the inter inter-switch ports rts should trust the DSCP marks placed by the client or server edge switches. However, they do not need to remark those values; therefore, answers a, b, and c are incorrect. 4. An HP A58 switch enforces an ACL, which is shown in the configuration under the exhibit. You want to allow the client shown in the exhibit to access FTP services on the server. Which is true? a. You do not need to enter a command because the current configuration permits this traffic. b. You could permit the traffic with this command: perm permit it tcp source destination..4.2 destination destination-port range 2-2 c. You could permit the traffic with this command: permit tcp source..7.2 destination..4.2 destination destination-port range 2-2 d. You could permit the traffic with this command: rule 8 permit source destination..4.2 destination destination-port range 2-2 e. You could permit the traffic with this command: rule 3 permit source..7. destination..4.2 destination destination-port range 2-2 Explanation:: First examine the ACL to determine whether it already permits the desired traffic: Rule permits FTP traffic to the server ((destination-port port range 2 2); 2 however, it only permits this traffic from sources in.../24, and the client is in..7./ Therefore, this rule does not permit the desired traffic. Rule 5 deals with HTTP traffic ((destination-port eq www). ). Therefore, it does not affect the traffic in question. Similarly, rules 6 and 7 relate to DNS and ICMP traffic and do not affect the traffic tr in question. Rule denies all other IP traffic between endpoints in.../6. This rule affects the traffic in question, which is between..7.2 and Therefore, the ACL as it is will drop the desired traffic, and answer a is incorrect. incor Next, you must determine a valid command for altering the ACL to permit the desired traffic. You know that you must add the rule that permits the traffic before the rule that currently drops it in it other words before rule. The commands in answers b and c add the new rule at the end of the list, so they are incorrect. The commands in both answers d and e add the rule in a valid order. However, the command in answer e does not select the correct traffic. Entering for the wildcard bits (source (..7. ) forces an exact match with the listed IP address, which is not a valid IP address in this instance. You want to match the exact IP address,..7.2, or the entire..7./24 subnet. Answer d includes the correct wildcard bits for the second op option (source source ) Answer d is correct.

An endpoint that supports both IPv4 and IPv6 is connected to your HP A36 switch. You want to assign to IPv4 traffic to VLAN 4 and the IPv6 traffic to VLAN 6. How do you do so? a. Specify VLAN 6 as a protocol-based VLAN that selects IPv6. Configure the endpoint s port as a hybrid port. Set VLAN 4 as the PVID and VLAN 6 as a protocol VLAN. b. Configure the endpoint s port as a hybrid port. Set VLAN 4 as the PVID and allow VLAN 6. c. Specify VLAN 6 as a protocol-based VLAN that selects IPv6. Configure the endpoint s port as a trunk port. Allow both VLAN 4 and 6, setting either VLAN as the PVID. d. Configure the endpoint s port as an access port set to VLAN 4. Then specify VLAN 6 as the port s IPv6 protocol-based VLAN setting. Explanation: To assign IPv4 and IPv6 traffic received on the same port to different VLANs, you must complete several steps. You must create a protocol-based VLAN that specifies the correct VLAN ID and desired protocol. In addition, the port receiving the IPv4 and IPv6 traffic must be a hybrid port with the VLAN for IPv4 traffic as the PVID and the protocol-specific VLAN also specified. Answer b correctly includes specifying the port as a hybrid port, but itt does not correctly describe how to create the protocol-based VLAN for IPv6 traffic. Answer c includes thet correct method for creating the protocol-based VLAN, but it specifies the port as a trunk port, which is incorrect. Answer d is entirely incorrect, with the wrong type of port (access rather than hybrid) and an invalid way of specifying the settings for the protocol-based VLAN. Only answer a includes all of the correct steps. To learn more about HP networking, visit Copyright 2 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
