Correct answer: Business Influencer

The CMIO is a Business Influencer. They dictate business and clinical requirements (uninterrupted telemetry) but do not own the technical implementation, budget approval (usually the sponsor/decision maker), or the day-to-day operation of the network (technical owner).

Correct answer: Accountable

The Director of IT Security is Accountable (or Consulted, depending on project structure, but Accountable for compliance). Since they dictate the framework that must be adhered to and ultimately sign off on the security posture, they hold accountability, while the network engineers are Responsible for the actual configuration.

Correct answer: Deploy a network management tool that leverages SNMP, LLDP, and CDP to dynamically poll the core and distribution switches to map the topology.

In a large brownfield environment with undocumented ad-hoc switches, manual tracing is highly inefficient and prone to errors. Utilizing automated network management tools that leverage standard protocols like SNMP, LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol), and CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) allows the architect to dynamically map the active topology, identify connected endpoints (including PoE devices), and discover routing adjacencies.

Correct answers: The existing access switches support a maximum of 802.3af PoE.; The building's preservation society prohibits drilling into the ceiling masonry for AP mounting.

Wi-Fi 6E APs typically require 802.3at (PoE+) or 802.3bt (Class 4/6) to operate at full capacity. Documenting that existing switches only support 802.3af (15.4W) is a critical physical constraint. Historic building restrictions on mounting also dictate AP placement and installation methods.

Correct answer: False

False. Supporting 802.1X authentication using EAP-TLS is a functional requirement because it describes a specific behavior or function the system must perform. Non-functional requirements typically describe how the system performs those functions (e.g., performance, scalability, availability SLAs).

Correct answer: The design should incorporate Aruba Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) with Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MC-LAG) to provide sub-second failover.

To meet strict sub-50ms or sub-second failover requirements without a single point of failure, relying on RSTP is insufficient. Deploying Aruba VSX with MC-LAG ensures high availability, active-active forwarding, and near-instantaneous failover by eliminating the need for spanning tree convergence upon link failure.
