When deploying an Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager in a large enterprise, which high-availability configuration is considered best practice?
Answer: Active-Standby with Publisher and Subscriber nodes
Aruba best practice recommends an Active-Standby ClearPass cluster using a Publisher for configuration and one or more Subscribers for policy processing and redundancy.
A network engineer is configuring Aruba APs in a RF-sensitive hospital environment. Which power management practice best minimizes interference with medical equipment?
Answer: Enable ARM and allow it to auto-adjust power based on neighbor discovery
Enabling Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) allows APs to automatically adjust transmit power to the minimum necessary for reliable coverage, reducing RF interference.
Which practice should be followed when assigning VLANs to Aruba user roles in a segmented network?
Answer: Assign unique VLANs per user role to enforce traffic segmentation
Assigning unique VLANs per user role ensures proper traffic segmentation and limits the blast radius of a security breach.
During an Aruba Mobility Controller (MC) software upgrade, what is the recommended procedure to minimize user downtime?
Answer: Upgrade the Standby MC first, failover, then upgrade the formerly Active MC
Upgrading the Standby MC first, then performing a controlled failover, ensures continuous service while the formerly Active MC is upgraded.
What is the Aruba best practice for securing management access to Mobility Controllers?
Answer: Restrict management to a dedicated out-of-band management VLAN and use SSH/HTTPS only
Aruba recommends isolating management traffic on a dedicated VLAN and enforcing encrypted protocols (SSH/HTTPS) to prevent unauthorized access.
An Aruba professional is documenting a wireless deployment. Which artifact is considered essential for post-deployment validation according to best practices?
Answer: A post-installation RF heat map and channel plan report
A post-installation RF heat map and channel plan report validates that coverage, signal strength, and channel allocation meet design requirements.
Which Aruba best practice applies when configuring 802.1X authentication for corporate devices on a campus network?
Answer: Deploy EAP-TLS with device certificates for the strongest mutual authentication
EAP-TLS with device certificates provides the highest level of mutual authentication and is the recommended method for corporate device 802.1X deployments.
