Exam ACSA Question 12

A company has an existing Aruba Instant cluster with several Instant APs (IAPs), as shown in the exhibit. The network administrator orders a new IAP and boots it for the first time by connecting it to the PoE switch port shown in the exhibit.

What happens after the IAP boots?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

When a new IAP is booted and connected to the PoE switch port, it listens for messages from the current Virtual Controller (VC), also known as the master. If it receives these messages, it joins the existing cluster without initiating a new election process. This ensures seamless integration of the new IAP into the existing network.

Think the answer should be D, Airwave is not a factor in IAP cluster...

Virtual control (VC) is one of the IAP that has been elected to act as the single point of management access . Its called as Master IAP

Correct answer is D. IAPs on the same VLAN as a VC will listen for "master" beacons from the VC. If beacons are detected then the IAP joins the cluster. If no beacons are detected, then the IAP elects itself as the VC for its own broadcast domain.
