Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Based on the exhibit, which shows the settings on the company's Mobility Controllers (MCs), with 'Control Plane Security' enabled and 'Enable auto cert provisioning' available, new Aruba 335-APs require approval on the MC to become managed. This is commonly done by adding the APs to an authorized AP whitelist, after which they can be automatically provisioned with certificates generated by the MC.

Wait, are we sure about the CA-signed certificates? Seems a bit much.

I think self-signed certificates could work too, right?

I’m leaning towards the CA-signed certificates, but I’m not completely confident. It seems like the most secure option.

I feel like enabling auto cert provisioning could be key, but I can't recall if that directly relates to the options given.

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to approve APs on a whitelist. That might be relevant here too.

I remember we discussed the importance of certificates in class, but I'm not sure if it should be CA-signed or self-signed for the APs.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key is that the MC has "Control Plane Security" enabled, which means the APs need to have some kind of certificate installed to authenticate and connect. Based on the options, it looks like either a CA-signed cert (A) or a self-signed cert (B) would work. I'll go with A since that's generally more secure.

I'm a little confused by all the technical details in this question. What exactly is a "Mobility Controller" and how does that relate to managing the APs? I'll need to make sure I understand the overall setup before I can confidently choose an answer.

Alright, this one seems straightforward. The configuration settings show that auto cert provisioning is enabled, so I'm thinking the answer has to be either A or B - installing some kind of certificate on the APs. I'll need to decide between CA-signed or self-signed.

Okay, so the question is asking what's required for the APs to become managed. I'm guessing it has something to do with the certificates, since that's mentioned in the configuration settings. I'll need to review the options carefully.

Hmm, this looks like it's asking about getting the new APs to connect to the Mobility Controller. I think the key is in the configuration settings on the MC, specifically the "Control Plane Security" section. Let me think this through...
