HPE Aruba Certified ClearPass Professional (ACCP) — Question 38

A company currently uses Instant APs (IAPs), all managed by a virtual controller. The company expects to double in size without the next 18 months. The network manager wants to purchase additional APs to service the increased traffic load. The network manager also wants to deploy a Mobility Controller (MC) to manage all APs.
How should the network administrator adapt the current IAPs to a controlled architecture?

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 IAPs to securely communicate with the new MCs, effectively transitioning them to a controlled architecture. Options A and C are incorrect as they suggest different management systems that do not address the transition of IAPs to a managed setup. Option D incorrectly implies converting IAPs to Campus APs, which is unnecessary if CPSec tunnels are established.
