HPE Aruba Certified Mobility Expert (ACMX) — Question 1

An administrator has ArubaOS-Switches that support tunneled node. The administrator wants to tunnel all user traffic from the Ethernet ports on the switches, and have the controllers authenticate the user traffic and apply the appropriate user role.
Which implementation meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Role-based tunneled node with the controllers configured for standalone mode
• B. Role-based tunneled node with the controllers configured in a cluster
• C. Per-port tunneled node with the controllers configured for standalone mode
• D. Per-port tunneled node with the controllers configured in a cluster

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a role-based tunneled node with controllers in a cluster allows for centralized management, enabling effective authentication and user role assignment across all user traffic. Options A and C are incorrect as they use standalone mode, which lacks the scalability and management efficiency of a clustered environment. Option D is incorrect because it employs a per-port configuration, which does not align with the requirement for role-based tunneling.
