HPE Aruba Certified Design Expert (ACDX) — Question 42

A company currently uses Instant APs (IAPs), all managed by a virtual controller. The company expects to double in size within the next 18 months. The network manager wants to purchase additional APs to service the increased traffic load. The network manager also wants to deploy a Mobility Controller (MC) to manage all APs.
How should the network administrator adapt the current IAPs to a controlled architecture?

Answer options

• A. Configure the IAPS to establish CPSec tunnels to the new MCs.
• B. Configure the IAPS to Campus APs, controlled by the new MCs.
• C. Manage both the MCs and IAP clusters with Aruba Central.
• D. Manage both the MCs and IAP clusters with a Mobility Master (MM).

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because converting the IAPs to Campus APs allows them to be managed by the Mobility Controller, which is necessary for a controlled architecture. Option A is incorrect as CPSec tunnels are not a method for converting IAPs to a managed architecture. Options C and D are also incorrect since they do not directly address the need for transforming IAPs into Campus APs under the control of the MC.
