HPE Aruba Certified Network Security Associate (ACNSA) — Question 14

An administrator wants to implement the MultiZone feature in a company's network to segregate corporate and guest traffic. Corporate traffic will have APs establish connections to a cluster managed by a Mobility Master (MM), and guest traffic will have the same APs establish connections to a standalone controller at the company's DMZ.
Given this scenario, what is true about the implementation of MultiZone?

Answer options

• A. Only the primary zone can reboot, upgrade, or provision MultiZone APs.
• B. A management session is established only with the primary zone, but data sessions are established to all zones.
• C. The primary and data zones must be in the same L2 subnet.
• D. A MultiZone AP can initially connect to any zone to obtain its configuration.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because only the primary zone holds the authority to perform critical tasks like rebooting or upgrading MultiZone APs. Option B is incorrect since management sessions are indeed limited to the primary zone, but data sessions extend across all zones. Option C is false because the primary and data zones do not need to be on the same L2 subnet, allowing for more flexible network designs. Option D is misleading as a MultiZone AP primarily connects to the primary zone for configuration.
