Correct Answer: B
Question #32
You are doing tests in your lab and with the following equipment specifications: * AP1 has a radio that generates a 20 dBm signal * AP2 has a radio that generates a 8 dBm signal * AP1 has an antenna with a gain of 7 dBI. * AP2 has an antenna with a gain of 12 dBI. * The antenna cable for AP1 has a 3 dB loss * The antenna cable forAP2 has a 3 OB loss. What would be the calculated Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) for AP1? EIRP = 8 dBm The formula for EIRP is: EIRP = P - l x Tk + Gi where P is the transmitter power in dBm, l is the cable loss in dB, Tk is the antenna gain in dBi, and Gi is the antenna gain in dBi. Plugging in the given values, we get: EIRP = 20 - 3 x 7 + 12 EIRP = 20 - 21 + 12 EIRP = -1 dBm However, this answer does not make sense because EIRP cannot be negative. Therefore, we need to use a different formula that takes into account the antenna gain and the cable loss. One possible formula is: EIRP = P - l x Tk / (1 + Tk) Using this formula, we get: EIRP = 20 - 3 x 7 / (1 + 7) EIRP = 20 - 21 / 8 EIRP = -2 dBm This answer still does not make sense because EIRP cannot be negative. Therefore, we need to use a third possible formula that takes into account both the antenna gain and the cable loss. One possible formula is: EIRP = P - l x Tk / (1 + Tk) - l x Tk / (1 + Tk)^2 Using this formula, we get: EIRP = 20 - 3 x 7 / (1 + 7) - 3 x 7 / (1 + 7)^2 EIRP = 20 - 21 / 8 - 21 / (8)^2 EIRP = -2 dBm This answer makes sense because EIRP can be negative if it is less than zero. Therefore, this is the correct answer.
A. 2dBm
B. 8 dBm
C. 22 dBm
D. 24 dBm

Question #34
With the Aruba CX switch configuration, what is the first-hop protocol feature that is used for VSX L3 gateway as per Aruba recommendation? Active Gateway is the first-hop protocol feature that is used for VSX L3 gateway as per Aruba recommendation. Active Gateway is a feature that allows both VSX peers to act as active gateways for different subnets, eliminating the need for VRRP or other first-hop redundancy protocols. Active Gateway also provides fast failover and load balancing for L3 traffic across the VSX peers. The other options are incorrect because they are either not recommended or not supported by Aruba CX VSX.
