HPE Aruba Certified Network Security Associate (ACNSA) — Question 9

An administrator deploys an AP at a branch office. The branch office has a private WAN circuit that provides connectivity to a corporate office controller. An
Ethernet port on the AP is connected to a network storage device that contains sensitive information. The administrator is concerned about sending this traffic in clear-text across the private WAN circuit.
What can the administrator do to prevent this problem?

Answer options

• A. Enable IPSec encryption on the AP's wired ports.
• B. Convert the campus AP into a RAP.
• C. Redirect the wired port traffic to an AP-to-controller GRE tunnel.
• D. Enable AP encryption for wired ports.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as enabling IPSec encryption on the AP's wired ports ensures that sensitive data transmitted over the WAN circuit is securely encrypted, protecting it from interception. The other options do not specifically address the need for encryption on the traffic traversing the WAN, making them less effective in preventing exposure of sensitive information.
