HPE Aruba Certified Campus Access Expert (ACAEX) — Question 15

In an AOS-10 architecture using an AP, a gateway and traffic forwarding mode = mixed, what happens when a client connects to an open enhanced SSID where their VLAN assignment will be bridged?

Answer options

• A. Authenticated Diffie-Hellman is not utilized
• B. The gateway will not respond.
• C. No encryption is applied.
• D. RADIUS protocol is utilized.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

When a client connects to an open SSID, there is no encryption applied to the data being transmitted, which is why option C is correct. Options A and D are irrelevant in this context since the connection is open and does not involve authentication or encryption protocols. Option B is incorrect because the gateway does respond to the client, even though it is not securing the connection.
