  1. In Aruba's network security framework, what does 'NAC' stand for and what is its primary function?

    Answer: Network Access Control — enforces policy-based admission to the network

    NAC (Network Access Control) evaluates endpoint posture and identity before granting network access, enforcing security policies at the edge.

  2. Which Wi-Fi generation introduced OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) to improve multi-client efficiency?

    Answer: Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)

    Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) introduced OFDMA, allowing an AP to serve multiple clients simultaneously in the same channel by subdividing it into resource units.

  3. What is the primary purpose of the Aruba NetConductor solution?

    Answer: Automate fabric segmentation and security policy deployment across campus and data center

    NetConductor automates the deployment of consistent segmentation and security policies across Aruba's wired and wireless infrastructure using intent-based networking.

  4. In the context of Aruba SD-WAN, what does the term 'overlay network' refer to?

    Answer: A virtualized network built on top of physical transport using tunnels

    An SD-WAN overlay creates logical tunnels over any physical transport (MPLS, broadband, LTE), abstracting the underlay from the business application policies.

  5. Which Aruba feature provides automatic band steering to move dual-band capable clients from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz?

    Answer: Band Steering (ClientMatch predecessor)

    Aruba's Band Steering encourages capable clients to associate on the less congested 5 GHz band by manipulating probe responses.

  6. What is the role of a Redundant Management Module (RMM) concept equivalent in Aruba OS-CX VSF stacking?

    Answer: Provides a hot-standby management plane on a different member switch

    In VSF, one member acts as the standby commander, taking over management plane functions instantly if the active commander fails.

  7. Which Aruba product line is designed specifically for secure, policy-driven access at the branch edge using SD-WAN principles?

    Answer: Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN platform

    Aruba EdgeConnect (formerly Silver Peak) is Aruba's SD-WAN platform providing intelligent WAN path selection and security at branch sites.
