HPE Aruba Certified ClearPass Professional (ACCP) — Question 14

A company deploys Aruba Instant AP(s) (IAPs). The company has grown, so network administrators decide to deploy several Mobility Controllers (MCs) and convert to a controller architecture that still uses the same APs.
How can administrators achieve this goal?

Answer options

• A. Manage both the MCs and IAP clusters with Aruba Central.
• B. Configure the IAPs to establish CPSec tunnels to the new MCs.
• C. Manage both the MCs and IAP clusters with a Mobility Master (MM).
• D. Convert the IAPs to Campus APs controlled by the new MCs.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because establishing CPSec tunnels allows the existing IAPs to securely connect and communicate with the new Mobility Controllers, enabling a smooth transition to a controller architecture. Option A is incorrect since Aruba Central does not manage IAP clusters and MCs together in this scenario. Option C is also incorrect as a Mobility Master does not directly facilitate the transition of IAPs to a controller-based model. Option D is wrong because simply converting IAPs to Campus APs does not utilize the same APs without the necessary configurations and tunnels.
