HPE Aruba Certified Campus Access Professional (ACAP) — Question 29

A customer has a campus that has expanded to several buildings. The buildings are between 100 and 200 feet (30 m and 61 m) apart and connected with SM fiber. The customer currently has instant APs (IAPs) clusters on several floors of several buildings. The customer has consolidated central resources in a small data center in one of the buildings.
The customer would like a more centralized architecture in which all wireless traffic is tunneled to the data center and IAPs are managed centrally.
What should the architect recommend?

Answer options

• A. Deploy Aruba MCs in a central location, and convert IAPs to CAPs.
• B. Purchase a license for a Virtual Mobility Master (VMM).
• C. Deploy Aruba AirWave in a central location.
• D. Purchase a subscription for Aruba Central device management.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Aruba Central provides a cloud-based management solution that allows centralized control over the IAPs and the ability to tunnel all wireless traffic to the data center. Options A and B suggest configurations that do not support the desired centralized management of IAPs, while option C focuses on a management platform that does not provide the same level of centralized control and tunneling capabilities.
