HPE Aruba Certified Campus Access Professional (ACAP) — Question 34

A retailer currently has two redundant ClearPass C2000 DL360 Gen9 hardware appliances and two perpetual 1K Access licenses. The customer uses ClearPass to authenticate employee wireless devices and other corporate wireless devices. ClearPass logs indicate that peak license usage is currently 1900.
The customer now wants to add a guest access solution. Guests will connect to an open SSID and redirected to a portal which they can use to self-register and log in. The customer anticipates that up to 1550 guest devices will connect at the same time.
The customer requires the most cost-effective solution that will meet the requirements. What should the network architect recommend for this solution?

Answer options

• A. Two 1K Guest licenses
• B. 1K+500 Access licenses; Two 1K Onboard licenses
• C. 1K+500 Access licenses
• D. 1K+500 Access licenses; 1K+500 Guest licenses

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it includes the necessary licenses to support both the current employee devices and the anticipated guest devices, while also being the most cost-effective option. Options A and D do not provide the right balance of Access and Guest licenses needed, and option C lacks sufficient Guest licenses for the expected peak usage.
