Refer to the exhibit.
Exam HPE6-A42: Question 2 - Image 1
Network administrators need to set up a WLAN that uses WPA2 encryption and authenticates users with a preshared key (PSK) that is the same for all users.
Administrators do not see where they should specify the option for the preshared key.
What should the administrators do?
Suggested Answer: A

To configure a WLAN with WPA2 encryption that uses a preshared key (PSK), administrators need to select the 'Personal' level of security on the slide bar. This setting is typically used for configuring PSKs that are the same for all users, as opposed to 'Enterprise', which requires individual authentication per user, often via an authentication server.

A company would choose to deploy an Aruba 7024 Mobility Controller (MC) rather than an Aruba 7010 MC to support more wireless users. The Aruba 7024 MC generally provides higher user capacity compared to the Aruba 7010 MC, making it suitable for environments that require support for a large number of users.

Question 4 of 124
A company wants to provide wireless access for guests with their Aruba solution. Which configuration feature requires the customer to purchase PEFNG licenses?
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is the addition of custom rules to control access for authenticated guests. The PEFNG (Policy Enforcement Firewall Next Generation) licenses in Aruba are designed to manage traffic and enforce security policies. Creating and managing custom rules for controlling access is a function that falls under policy enforcement, hence it requires PEFNG licenses.
