  1. Which FCC regulation part primarily governs unlicensed wireless devices operating in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands used by Wi-Fi?

    Answer: FCC Part 15

    FCC Part 15 covers unlicensed intentional, unintentional, and incidental radiators, including Wi-Fi devices in the ISM bands.

  2. An Aruba controller is being deployed in a hospital. Which compliance framework most directly addresses wireless security requirements for protecting patient health information?

    Answer: HIPAA Security Rule

    HIPAA's Security Rule mandates administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for electronic protected health information (ePHI), including wireless networks.

  3. What is the maximum EIRP allowed for 5 GHz UNII-1 (5.15–5.25 GHz) indoor Wi-Fi operation in the US under FCC rules?

    Answer: 200 mW (23 dBm)

    FCC limits UNII-1 (5.15–5.25 GHz) to 200 mW (23 dBm) EIRP for indoor use only.

  4. Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is required on Aruba APs operating in which frequency range to avoid interfering with radar systems?

    Answer: 5.25–5.725 GHz (UNII-2 and UNII-2e)

    DFS is mandated by the FCC for UNII-2 and UNII-2e channels (5.25–5.725 GHz) to detect and avoid radar systems.

  5. A retail company processes credit card transactions over its Aruba wireless network. Which standard requires encryption and network segmentation for cardholder data environments?

    Answer: PCI DSS

    PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) mandates encryption, segmentation, and access controls for networks handling cardholder data.

  6. Which Aruba feature helps enforce regulatory compliance by automatically scanning for rogue APs and classifying them as interferers or threats?

    Answer: Wireless Intrusion Protection (WIPS/WIDS)

    Aruba's WIPS/WIDS continuously monitors the RF environment to detect, classify, and contain rogue devices, satisfying compliance mandates like PCI DSS.

  7. When deploying Aruba APs in a US federal government environment, which compliance framework mandates a formal Authorization to Operate (ATO) process?

    Answer: FISMA / FedRAMP

    FISMA (Federal Information Security Modernization Act) and its cloud counterpart FedRAMP require agencies to obtain an ATO before operating IT systems.
