HPE6-A73 Exam - Question 76

Question

An administrator is supporting a network with the access layer consisting of AOS-CX 6300 and 6400 switches. The administrator needs to quickly deploy Aruba

IAPs and security cameras in the network, ensuring that the correct QoS and VLAN settings are dynamically applied to the switch ports. Currently, switches are not configured to do device authentication, and no authentication server exists in the network.

Which AOS-CX feature should the administrator use to dynamically assign the policy settings to the correct switch ports?

Examice · Accepted Answer

To address the need for quickly deploying Aruba Instant APs and security cameras with the correct QoS and VLAN settings without involving any device authentication or an authentication server, the best feature to use is Device Profiles. Device Profiles allow the administrator to predefine settings such as VLAN assignments, PoE requirements, and QoS parameters that can automatically be applied to the switch ports when the devices are connected. This feature simplifies the deployment process and ensures the correct configurations are dynamically applied without the need for additional authentication infrastructure.

Page 873 Study Guide:
AOS- CX supports device profiles to make it even simpler to deploy Aruba Instant APs (IAP) and other devices. Use it when you are not sure what switch port the device might connect to. Typically, you have a standard configuration that applies to all AP- connected ports. This would include the native, untagged VLAN where IAPs have their IP addresses. It also includes tagged VLAN assignments for static and dynamic VLANs assigned to WLANs for Aruba IAPs, the PoE settings such as a critical PoE priority, and so on.

no authentication server exists in the network

d_nat · Answer

Without authentication server of any kind, device profiles are the way to go for quick deployment of the devices

omen · Answer

The question is not how should it be done properly, but how can it be done so quickly without a radius etc? My opinion is therefore A. Not a good solution, but quickly implemented.
