HPE Aruba Certified Mobility Expert (ACMX) — Question 44

A cluster has two Aruba 7240 Mobility Controllers (MCs) and two Aruba 7220 Mobility Controllers (MCs). How is the cluster leader elected if all controllers have the default priority?

Answer options

• A. The 7240 controller with the highest MAC address is elected.
• B. The controller with the highest IP address is elected.
• C. The controller with the highest MAC address is elected.
• D. The 7240 controller with the lowest IP address is elected.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because in the absence of any priority settings, the cluster leader is determined based on the MAC addresses, with the highest MAC address winning the election. Options A and C are similar, but only C reflects the correct election criteria when considering all controllers. Options B and D do not apply as they reference IP addresses, which are not used for this election process.
