   A university research lab is designing a new high-performance computing (HPC) network. The proposal must include the design of the InfiniBand fabric and the configuration of the compute nodes. The lab has a strict requirement that the proposal must be reviewed by the university's ethics committee because the research involves sensitive data. The ethics committee requests that the proposal include a detailed data flow diagram showing how data moves between the compute nodes and the storage system. The design team is concerned that this diagram will reveal proprietary research methods. What is the most appropriate action?

   • AAsk the ethics committee to waive the data flow diagram requirement.
   • BInclude a high-level data flow diagram that shows the network paths without revealing the proprietary research methods.
   • CRefuse to include the data flow diagram because it reveals proprietary research methods.
   • DInclude the detailed data flow diagram as requested, even though it reveals proprietary methods.

   A city government is designing a new network for its public safety department. The proposal must include the core and distribution switches, but the RFP explicitly states that the design of the radio communication system is out of scope. The design team prepares the proposal and includes a section on radio system integration because they believe it is important for the overall solution. What should the team do?

   • AAsk the customer if they want the radio system design included.
   • BInclude the radio system integration section because it adds value to the proposal.
   • CRemove the radio system section and note that it is excluded per the RFP.
   • DInclude the radio section as an appendix for the customer's convenience.

   A university is designing a new campus network for a research building. The project sponsor has a hard budget of $500,000 and a deadline of 6 months. The design team has proposed a dual-core architecture with redundant distribution switches and full 10GbE access ports. After reviewing the design, the sponsor notes that the budget will not cover the proposed hardware and asks the team to revise the proposal. Which approach best respects the proposal boundary while meeting the sponsor's constraint?

   • AReduce the access port speed to 1GbE and use a single-core design to fit the budget, documenting the trade-offs.
   • BExtend the timeline to 12 months and keep the original design, assuming the budget will be approved later.
   • CKeep the design as-is and ask the sponsor to increase the budget by 20%.
   • DRemove the support and maintenance costs from the proposal to bring it under budget.

   A managed service provider (MSP) is responding to an RFP from a retail chain to design a new SD-WAN architecture. The RFP states that the proposal must cover the design of the WAN overlay and the configuration of the hub routers, but it explicitly excludes the design of the local LAN switching at each store. The MSP's solution architect prepares the proposal and includes a section on store-level switch VLAN design. What should the architect do to stay within the proposal boundary?

   • AInclude the LAN switching design as a value-add to demonstrate expertise.
   • BRemove the LAN switching section and note in the proposal that it is out of scope per the RFP.
   • CAsk the customer if they want the LAN switching design included before finalizing the proposal.
   • DInclude the LAN switching design but label it as 'informational only'.

   A retail chain is designing a new network for its 500 stores. The proposal must include the design of the SD-WAN architecture and the configuration of the branch routers. The customer has a requirement that the proposal must be completed within 4 weeks and that the total cost must not exceed $1 million. The design team realizes that the full SD-WAN design for all 500 stores cannot be completed within the 4-week timeline. What is the most appropriate action?

   • AReduce the scope to only 100 stores and adjust the budget accordingly.
   • BPropose a phased design approach, delivering a template design for a representative store and a plan for the remaining stores.
   • CSubmit a partial proposal covering only 100 stores and note that the rest will be delivered later.
   • DAsk the customer to extend the timeline to 8 weeks.
