A customer wants to deploy the Avaya Aura Web Gateway (AAWG) to provide Avaya Spaces Calling integration. They have an existing LDAP directory. Which service on the AAWG is responsible for synchronizing user data from the corporate LDAP directory?
Show answer details
Correct answer: D
The User Management Service (UMS) within AAWG (and AADS) is the component responsible for connecting to LDAP/AD directories, mapping attributes, and synchronizing user data for authentication and profile resolution.

In an Avaya Aura Messaging (AAM) deployment, which storage role must be assigned to at least one server in the cluster to hold the actual voicemail content (WAV files)?
Show answer details
Correct answer: D
The 'MsgStore' (Message Store) role is responsible for the physical storage of messages and user data. In a single server deployment, it is combined with the App role; in distributed systems, it can be separate.

You are configuring a 'Switch Connection' in AES to allow a CTI application to control phones on a Communication Manager (CM). You have entered the CM IP address and the connection password. What must match on the Communication Manager side for this connection to establish successfully?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
On the Communication Manager, the 'change ip-services' form defines the listener for AES connections. The service type is typically 'AESVCS' (or previously 'CTI'), and the port (usually 5017 for secure or 5016) and password must match the AES Switch Connection configuration.

Case Study:
Scenario Continued
GlobalBank Corp has successfully deployed the ASBCE at the edge. Now they are configuring the Avaya Aura Breeze servers to support the 'Presence Services' snap-in for 5000 users.Constraint
The IT Director mandates that the Presence traffic must be load-balanced across three Breeze nodes for high availability. However, they noticed that after deploying the snap-in, the 'Service State' on one node is stuck in 'Installing'.Question
Which tool in System Manager would be most effective to investigate the detailed deployment logs for the specific Breeze node to diagnose the 'Installing' hang?Show answer details
Correct answer: D
The Breeze Dashboard within System Manager provides direct access to Server Administration, where you can view specific server logs (like the deployment or Install logs) to troubleshoot Snap-in installation failures.

When configuring a SIP Trunk in Session Manager to connect to an external service provider, which entity type is typically used to represent the Service Provider's network elements?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
In System Manager, external SIP connections (like Service Providers or other SIP proxies) are defined as SIP Entities. The type is typically set to 'SIP Trunk' or 'Other' depending on the version, but 'SIP Trunk' is the specific logical representation for provider connections.

A consultant is designing an Avaya Aura Session Border Controller for Enterprise (ASBCE) solution to support remote workers using Avaya Workplace clients. The deployment requires Split-Horizon DNS to manage internal and external traffic differentiation. When configuring the Remote Worker policy in the ASBCE, which specific interface configuration is required to ensure external SIP traffic is correctly rewritten before being passed to the internal Session Manager?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
For Remote Workers, the ASBCE acts as the edge device. A Topology Hiding Profile must be applied to the Server Flow (traffic toward the core) to replace the external IP headers with the internal IP of the ASBCE, ensuring the Session Manager receives traffic that appears to come from a trusted internal entity.

During the implementation of Avaya Aura Presence Services, an engineer observes that presence status updates from the Communication Manager (CM) are not reflecting in the Avaya Workplace clients. The engineer verifies that the Presence Services Snap-in is deployed on Breeze. Which configuration step in the Avaya Aura System Manager is most likely missing or incorrect regarding the CM integration?
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
Presence Services often relies on a collector to gather telephony status. For Communication Manager, this is typically achieved via an AES collector configured within the Presence Services attributes (specifically the AES Collector attributes) or via SIP PUBLISH if configured directly. However, the most common missing link for telephony status is the AES connection details within the Presence Snap-in configuration.

A technician is configuring Application Enablement Services (AES) to support a new call recording solution that utilizes DMCC (Device Media Call Control). The recording solution requires the ability to register virtual stations. Which specific setting must be verified in the AES Management Console's CTI User permissions to allow this functionality?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
For DMCC applications to register virtual softphones and monitor devices, the CTI User account defined in AES must have 'Unrestricted Access' checked in the Security Database (SDB) or have specific device access granted. Without this, the application cannot control or monitor the target devices.

While troubleshooting an Avaya Aura Messaging (AAM) High Availability (HA) implementation, you notice that the Secondary server is not synchronizing messages with the Primary server. The system status shows the HA link is down. Which of the following is the most common cause for this specific failure in a geo-redundant setup?
Show answer details
Correct answer: D
In Avaya Aura Messaging HA, the synchronization relies on secure communication between the nodes. A mismatch in the Trusted Server password or the replication user credentials between the Primary and Secondary servers will prevent the replication service from establishing the link.

You are implementing Avaya Aura Web Gateway (AAWG) to support WebRTC clients. The AAWG is deployed in the DMZ. Which TWO certificates must be correctly installed and trusted on the AAWG for successful operation with both the browser clients and the internal Avaya Aura System Manager? (Select TWO)
Show answer details
Correct answer: A, D
Web browsers (Chrome, Edge, etc.) require a valid, publicly trusted certificate (e.g., Verisign, GoDaddy) to allow WebRTC connections without security warnings. Using a private SMGR certificate for the public interface will cause browser errors.
The AAWG must trust the internal Certificate Authority (System Manager CA) to establish secure connections with internal components like Session Manager and System Manager.
