HPE Aruba Certified ClearPass Professional (ACCP) — Question 26

A Mobility Controller (MC) runs ArubaOS 8. What is a valid reason for an administrator to set the MC to master-local mode?

Answer options

• A. The company already has a partially hierarchical deployment based on the 6.x code and wants to keep the current architecture.
• B. The company needs to manage third-party network infrastructure devices with the use of the master controller interface.
• C. The company wants a deployment architecture that allows administrators to configure all MC settings from a single location.
• D. The company requires a centralized licensing architecture that provides global license pools.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because master-local mode allows centralized management of Mobility Controllers, enabling administrators to manage all settings from one interface. Option A is incorrect as it refers to maintaining an older architecture, which is not a reason for using master-local mode. Option B is not valid as it doesn't pertain to the specific benefits of using master-local mode, and D is incorrect because while centralized licensing is important, it is not the primary function of master-local mode.
