When evaluating Aruba Instant AP cluster health, which CLI command shows the current Virtual Controller IP and master AP election status?
Answer: show swarm state
The 'show swarm state' command on Aruba Instant APs displays the Virtual Controller master election status and cluster membership information.
An organization is evaluating Aruba Central vs. on-premises AirWave for network management. Which capability is EXCLUSIVELY available in Aruba Central and not in AirWave?
Answer: AIOps-driven anomaly detection with ML baselines
AIOps-driven anomaly detection with machine learning baselines is a cloud-native capability exclusive to Aruba Central and unavailable in the on-premises AirWave platform.
When assessing the effectiveness of Aruba's Adaptive Radio Management (ARM), which outcome indicates ARM is functioning correctly in a dense AP environment?
Answer: APs automatically selecting non-overlapping channels with balanced power levels
ARM is working correctly when APs automatically coordinate to use non-overlapping channels and balance transmit power to minimize co-channel interference.
During a compliance assessment, an Aruba ClearPass administrator needs to verify that only managed corporate endpoints access the secure SSID. Which attribute should be evaluated in the authentication policy?
Answer: Certificate Common Name matched against Active Directory
Evaluating the certificate CN against Active Directory ensures only domain-joined managed devices can authenticate, enforcing corporate endpoint compliance.
When performing a baseline evaluation of Aruba SD-Branch edge device performance, which tool provides unified visibility into both WAN uplink health and LAN switch metrics?
Answer: Aruba Central SD-Branch Dashboard
Aruba Central's SD-Branch Dashboard provides a unified view that correlates WAN uplink health metrics with LAN switch performance from a single pane of glass.
During an Aruba network assessment, an engineer evaluates DHCP lease exhaustion risk. Which show command on an AOS-CX switch reveals the current DHCP pool utilization?
Answer: show dhcp-server leases summary
The 'show dhcp-server leases summary' command displays the number of active and available leases per pool, directly indicating exhaustion risk.
An Aruba engineer is evaluating whether 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) deployment improved client efficiency. Which 802.11ax-specific metric should be assessed to confirm OFDMA spatial reuse gains?
Answer: OFDMA Resource Unit (RU) allocation efficiency
OFDMA RU allocation efficiency measures how effectively the AP subdivides channels to serve multiple clients simultaneously, confirming Wi-Fi 6 spatial reuse benefits.
