HPE Aruba Certified Switching Professional (ACSP) — Question 29

A network administrator needs to complete the initial setup on an ArubaOS switch with the use of remote access. How can the network administrator do this?

Answer options

• A. Connect the switch's OOBM port to the same VLAN as the management station, and then establish a Telnet session to the switch default IP address.
• B. Connect the switch's OOBM port to the same VLAN as Aruba AirWave. Then manually discover the switch in AirWave using the switch default IP address.
• C. Send a Reverse ARP from the management station and assign a temporary IP to the workstation.
• D. Set up the network DHCP server to assign the switch a reserved IP address. Connect the switch to a VLAN with DHCP services and then establish a Telnet session to the reserved IP address.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it allows the network administrator to integrate the switch with Aruba AirWave, which is essential for management and monitoring. Options A and D do not utilize AirWave, which is crucial for this scenario, while option C does not effectively establish a remote management connection to the switch.
