Which forwarding mode in Aruba Instant allows client traffic to be bridged locally at the AP without being sent to a controller?
Answer: Local Bridging (Bridge Mode)
In Local Bridging mode on Aruba Instant, client traffic is forwarded directly onto the local network at the AP, bypassing any central controller.
What is the function of Target Wake Time (TWT) in 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6)?
Answer: Schedule specific times for clients to wake and communicate, reducing power consumption
TWT allows the AP and client to negotiate specific wake-up schedules, dramatically reducing power consumption for IoT and mobile devices.
In Aruba's mesh solution, what is the term for the AP that connects to the wired network and serves as the mesh entry point?
Answer: Mesh Portal
The Mesh Portal has a wired uplink connection and acts as the gateway between the wired infrastructure and the wireless mesh network.
Which Aruba Instant feature provides a built-in RADIUS server to authenticate clients when no external RADIUS is available?
Answer: Internal RADIUS Server (internal server authentication)
Aruba Instant includes an integrated internal RADIUS server that can store local user accounts and authenticate 802.1X clients without an external RADIUS infrastructure.
What is the primary purpose of Aruba's AppRF technology?
Answer: Perform deep packet inspection to classify and control application traffic on the WLAN
AppRF uses deep packet inspection (DPI) and application signatures to identify, classify, and apply QoS or firewall policies to specific application flows.
Which Aruba AOS-CX feature enables dynamic segmentation by pushing user-role-based policies from ClearPass to campus switches?
Answer: Dynamic Segmentation with User-Based Tunneling (UBT)
Dynamic Segmentation with User-Based Tunneling tunnels wired client traffic from AOS-CX switches to an Aruba gateway for role-based policy enforcement based on ClearPass authentication.
When an Aruba AP is deployed as a Remote AP (RAP) across the internet, which protocol secures the control and data tunnel back to the controller?
Answer: IPsec (IKEv2)
Remote APs establish an IPsec tunnel (using IKEv2) to the Aruba Mobility Controller or gateway to secure both control plane and data plane traffic over untrusted networks.
