Which authentication does Aruba's Captive Portal use?

ALayer 3 authentication

BMAC authentication

C802.1x authentication

DLayer 2 authentication

Suggested Answer: A

Aruba's Captive Portal uses Layer 3 authentication, which means that it intercepts the client's HTTP requests and redirects them to a web page where the client can enter their credentials. The credentials are then verified by a RADIUS server or a local database before granting network access.

Layer 2 authentication sounds familiar too, but I can't recall if it specifically applies to the Captive Portal.

I feel like 802.1x authentication was mentioned in a similar question we did in class. Could that be it?

I remember practicing a question about MAC authentication, but I don't think that's what the Captive Portal uses.

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if log shipping or SQL Data Sync would be better for this scenario. I'll need to weigh the pros and cons of each approach.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is it really just about comparing the buffer remaining to the buffer used? I feel like there might be something else we're supposed to look at, like the availability of resources or something. I'll have to re-read the question carefully.

I'll quickly check all the details about rental income. Need to be precise with the tax calculation year by year.
