Manufacturing A.B.C. is an international, mid-sized company specializing in producing industrial equipment. They have been in the market for over two decades and have established themselves as a reputable player in their industry. However, due to rapid technological advancements, their current network infrastructure is outdated and struggling to keep up with the demands of modern manufacturing processes.
Manufacturing A.B.C.'s network is a mix of multi-vendor legacy wired and wireless components, causing frequent downtime and hampering their production efficiency. The aging equipment leads to slow data transfer rates, unreliable connectivity, and increased vulnerability to cyber threats.
Fiber Cabling should be also upgraded as mostly OM2 is being used.
Compounding the network issues, the recent departure of the CTO has left the company without a clear direction for the network refresh project. There is a lack of consensus among the management team regarding the scope, budget, and timeline for the upgrade.
The primary objectives of the manufacturing customer are as follows:
- Improve network performance and reliability to enhance production processes and minimize downtime
- Enhance network security to protect sensitive data and intellectual property
- Streamline communication and collaboration among different departments within the organization
- Ensure scalability to accommodate future growth and technology advancements Manufacturing A.B.C. seeks a comprehensive network refresh that includes the following components:
- Upgrading the wired infrastructure to high-speed Ethernet switches to support increased data transfer rates and reduce latency
- Implementing a robust wireless solution with enterprise-grade access points to provide seamless connectivity across the manufacturing facility
- Centralized network management tools to simplify administration and monitoring of the network Expectations:
The customer expects the network refresh project to be handled efficiently, with minimal disruption to their ongoing operations. They are looking for a reliable and experienced network solutions provider who can understand their unique manufacturing requirements and deliver a customized solution that aligns with their budget constraints. The manufacturing customer is keen on receiving clear project proposals and support in decision-making, given the recent change of the CTO.
Your role as a network solutions provider is to address their concerns, offer expert guidance, and present a well-defined plan to meet their objectives effectively.
A manufacturing customer operates a 24/7 production facility and is concerned that the migration will disrupt the production chain.
What are two ways to minimize or eliminate this disruption? (Choose two.)

• A. Replace one access switch at a time and patch the ports by using a patch plan.
• B. Whenever possible, ramp up the new infrastructure in parallel and do transparent switching from old to new core switch.
• C. Close the production site for at least 1 day to do the full migration in a single service window.
• D. Create a migration plan which describes a phased approach, i.e. access layer first, distribution layer second, etc.

When is a Mode Conditioning Patch Cable required?

• A. A 1000Base-LX Transceiver is operated with 62.5/125 cables up to 500 m.
• B. A 1000Base-SX Transceiver is operated with 62.5/125 cables up to 500 m.
• C. A 10GBase-LX4 Transceiver Is operated with 62.5/125 cables up to 2 km.
• D. A 10GBase-LR Transceiver is operated with 62.5/125 cables up to 500 m

ACME retail has 38 locations spread out across five US states and two provinces in Canada.
They are looking to grow 20% over the next two years. They have an HQ with a staff of 200 employees. The organization has eight Regional Managers and two VPs who work from home and the road. Stores typically have 17 employees on average per location.
The two warehouses have a remote loading system and 20 employees each to load the trucks and fulfill the online orders. The warehouse has 40-foot ceilings and large metal racks to store inventory. The main location is 240K sq ft (22300 sq m) and the Canadian warehouse is 130K sq ft (12100 sq m). The forklifts on the loading docks are equipped with a wireless tablet on board.
A typical store is reportedly about 60,000 sq ft (5575 sq m) and smaller stores are planned at
25,000 sq ft (2320 sq m). The locations need to expand the abilities to vendors that need to add setup displays or interactive kiosks in the stores. The current infrastructure was installed in 2015 and used wireless N technology in a coverage model. The wiring is Cat5, and they are unsure of the fiber connections. The inventory is all placed on the floor when it is delivered to the local store.
Inventory control is handled through Zebra barcode scanners, and they have had a lot of issues in getting signals throughout the stores and this makes monthly inventory difficult. The organization has a small help desk to troubleshoot issues that happen at the retail locations and PC support for the office. The company is looking to upgrade away from the current PBX system later this year. With the need to grow and cut costs, they are interested in moving the data to the cloud but need to get almost real-time inventory control for the online service to function.
The network has all been wired over the last ten years, but with the new systems being all wireless, they have seen the trend to offer wireless to all the vendors for their needs but also would be to allow employees, guests, and contractors all to use it. With the new IT director starting next week, the project has been set by the CTO of the company. The marketing group has asked how they can interact with the customers and get more info, while the IT support desk needs to cut staff in half.
The office has an MDF and two IDFs located on floors one and two. The MDF is in the basement, and you have multiple WAN circuits for the HQ links. Each store has a local handoff from the cable company (ethernet) in the middle of the store in the office, so distance for the wiring is not an issue.
The customer has budget concerns but does want something that could last 7+ years.
The customer would like to host all the applications at the HQ Data Center.
Which design would meet the customer's requirements?

• A. Instant OS access points
• B. 10000 switch with Pensando
• C. HPE Comware switches
• D. UXI Sensors
• E. SD-Branch Architecture

During the discovery phase, why is it important to identify regulatory compliance requirements?

• A. To determine the project timeline
• B. To select the most cost-effective network equipment
• C. To train the IT staff accordingly
• D. To ensure the network design adheres to legal and industry standards
