  1. An Aruba project manager uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle to manage WLAN quality. Which phase involves analyzing performance data and comparing it against KPIs?

    Answer: Check

    The Check phase involves measuring actual performance against planned targets and KPIs to identify gaps.

  2. A risk assessment identifies that the Aruba Mobility Controller is a single point of failure. The team installs a redundant controller in hot standby. This control is classified as which type?

    Answer: Preventive control

    A hot standby controller prevents service interruption by proactively eliminating the single point of failure before an incident occurs.

  3. Which Aruba-specific tool can generate compliance reports to demonstrate that network configurations meet organizational security policies?

    Answer: Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager

    ClearPass Policy Manager provides detailed reporting on authentication, authorization, and posture compliance, supporting security policy audits.

  4. An Aruba network engineer performs a penetration test against the wireless infrastructure. How does this activity relate to risk management?

    Answer: It identifies vulnerabilities that can then be prioritized and mitigated

    Penetration testing is a risk identification technique that surfaces vulnerabilities so they can be assessed, prioritized, and addressed.

  5. What is the purpose of defining a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for an Aruba network component?

    Answer: To set the maximum tolerable downtime before business impact becomes unacceptable

    RTO defines the maximum time a system can be down after a failure before the business suffers unacceptable consequences, guiding continuity planning.

  6. During quality assurance testing of a new Aruba WLAN deployment, testers discover that roaming between APs causes a 3-second authentication delay. Which Aruba technology should be evaluated to resolve this issue?

    Answer: Opportunistic Key Caching (OKC) or 802.11r Fast BSS Transition

    OKC and 802.11r Fast BSS Transition reduce reauthentication overhead during roaming, addressing the delay identified in QA testing.

  7. A company accepts a residual risk after applying controls to a vulnerability in its Aruba network. What does 'residual risk' mean?

    Answer: The risk that remains after all planned controls have been implemented

    Residual risk is the risk that persists after controls have been applied, and organizations must formally accept or further treat it.
