HPE Aruba Certified Switching Professional (ACSP) — Question 41

A network administrator plans to set up a WLAN on an Aruba Instant cluster. The WLAN uses WPA/WPA2 Enterprise security. The administrator wants no authenticate users locally on the cluster.
How should the administrator configure me credentials?

Answer options

• A. Add a user account for each employee to the cluster internal server database.
• B. Import authorized device MAC addresses to the cluster.
• C. Implement a shared secret or password in the cluster WLAN settings.
• D. Set up an external RADIUS server for authorization.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because utilizing an external RADIUS server allows for centralized authentication and does not require local user accounts on the cluster. Option A is incorrect as it involves local user management, which the administrator wants to avoid. Option B is about MAC address filtering, which does not authenticate users in the same way. Option C suggests using a shared secret, which is not suitable for enterprise environments that require individual user authentication.
