HPE Aruba Certified Edge Associate (ACEA) — Question 1

A company has Aruba gateways and wants to start implementing gateway IDS/IPS. The customer has selected Block for the Fail Strategy.
What might you recommend to help minimize unexpected outages caused by using this particular fall strategy?

Answer options

• A. Configuring a relatively high threshold for the gateway threat count alerts
• B. Making sure that the gateways have formed a cluster and operate in default gateway mode
• C. Setting the IDS or IPS policy to the least restrictive option, Lenient
• D. Enabling alerts and email notifications for events related to gateway IPS engine utilization and errors

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because clustering the gateways in default gateway mode ensures redundancy and improves reliability, which helps prevent outages. Options A and C do not address the fail strategy's impact on outages, while D focuses on monitoring rather than minimizing risk during a failure.
