HPE Aruba Certified ClearPass Professional (ACCP) — Question 3

A network manager wants to implement an Aruba wireless solution that accommodates 802.1X with EAP-TLS. All wireless users will utilize Active Directory (AD) accounts to authenticate.
Which device will the authenticator forward the authentication requests to in this type of solution?

Answer options

• A. APs
• B. RADIUS server
• C. Mobility Controller (MC)
• D. Mobility Master (MM)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, the Mobility Controller (MC), as it acts as the primary device that handles authentication requests in an Aruba wireless solution. The other options, such as APs and RADIUS server, do not directly manage the authentication process, while the Mobility Master (MM) is responsible for overall management but not for forwarding requests.
