HPE Aruba Certified ClearPass Professional (ACCP) — Question 22

A company has a Mobility Master (MM)-based solution. There is a hardware issue with the MM appliance, and, as result, all connectivity is lost between the appliance and the network. The network manager is concerned about how this will impact licensing.
How will the Mobility Controller (MC) be affected?

Answer options

• A. The MC maintains its current licenses for 30 days.
• B. The MC maintains only licenses that have been locally installed on it.
• C. The MC contacts Aruba Activate and uses the licensing limits defined there.
• D. The MC loses all licenses and cannot support APs or clients.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the MC is designed to communicate with Aruba Activate to manage licensing, even when disconnected from the MM. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the licensing behavior of the MC, and option D is wrong because the MC does not lose all licenses in the event of an MM failure.
