HPE Aruba Certified Central Associate (ACCA) — Question 54

The HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer is being proposed to manage existing CX switches in a customer environment.
Which protocol does the AFC use to communicate with the switches?

Answer options

• A. API
• B. SSH
• C. Telnet
• D. SNMPv3

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the AFC uses APIs to interact with the switches for configuration and management tasks. SSH and Telnet (options B and C) are primarily used for command-line access, while SNMPv3 (option D) is utilized for monitoring and management but not for direct configuration through Fabric Composer.
