HPE Aruba Certified Professional (ACP) – SD-WAN — Question 63

You are configuring a new switch using device profiles and the same configuration across all non-uplink interfaces. You are connected that the switch may not have enough PoE budget to power all devices that will eventually be connected.
How can you guarantee that APs will always receive power over other devices?

Answer options

• A. Configure always-on PoE in the AP VLAN.
• B. Configure critical PoE priority in the AP role.
• C. Configure QoS trust PoE on each interface.
• D. Enable the LLDP MED Power (PoE) TLV.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because configuring critical PoE priority ensures that APs are given precedence over other devices when power resources are limited. Options A, C, and D do not specifically prioritize APs, which is essential for guaranteeing their power needs are met first.
