HPE Aruba Certified Design Expert (ACDX) — Question 52

A company has a Mobility Master (MM)-based solution. There is a hardware issue with the MM appliance, and, as result, all connectivity is lost between the appliance and the network. The network manager is concerned about how this will impact licensing.
How will the Mobility Controller (MC) be affected?

Answer options

• A. The MC maintains its current licenses for 30 days.
• B. The MC loses all licenses and cannot support APs or clients.
• C. The MC contacts Aruba Activate and uses the licensing limits defined there.
• D. The MC maintains only licenses that have been locally installed on it.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the Mobility Controller (MC) can maintain its current licenses for up to 30 days, allowing it to continue functioning. Option B is incorrect as the MC does not lose all licenses immediately. Option C is not accurate because the MC does not automatically contact Aruba Activate under these circumstances. Option D is also wrong since the MC does not only retain licenses that are locally installed.
