HPE Aruba Certified Mobility Professional (ACMP) — Question 55

A network administrator needs to set up an AOS-Switch to use port-based tunneled node for connected devices. However, the administrator wants the switch to forward traffic without tunneling if it cannot reach a tunneled-node server.
What should the administrator do?

Answer options

• A. Apply the tunneled-node profile to ports, and set the local-switching-fallback option.
• B. Make sure that the switch has an IP address on the untagged VLAN assigned to the ports.
• C. Configure a local switching profile on the Mobility Controller that acts as tunneled-node server.
• D. Set the switch to role-based tunneled node, and make sure it uses the default initial user role.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because setting the switch to a role-based tunneled node while using the default initial user role allows it to forward traffic directly without tunneling if the server is unavailable. Option A is incorrect because applying a tunneled-node profile alone does not guarantee local switching fallback behavior. Option B is not relevant to the tunneling setup. Option C focuses on configuring a server that may not be reachable, which does not address the fallback requirement.
