HPE6-A47 Exam Dumps : Designing Aruba Solutions

An active site survey is a method of measuring and validating the wireless coverage, capacity, and performance of a network in a specific environment. It involves deploying temporary APs in the proposed locations, collecting data using a survey tool, and analyzing the results to optimize the network design. A heat map is a graphical representation of the wireless signal strength, interference, noise, or other metrics in different areas of the site. A heat map with proposed AP locations and actual tested coverage is a deliverable that shows the customer the expected performance of the new 802.11ac-based solution, and allows the architect to fine-tune the AP placement, channel selection, transmit power, and antenna orientation. This deliverable also helps the customer to verify that the network meets their requirements for coverage, capacity, and quality of service. References:

 To ensure that wireless voice traffic is properly prioritized for Microsoft Skype for Business, the architect should set up firewall policies and SDN to mark voice on the MCs or MM. Firewall policies are used to classify and prioritize traffic based on the application, user role, device type, and location. SDN is used to integrate with the Skype for Business SDN API, which provides real-time information about voice and video sessions, such as source and destination IP addresses, ports, codecs, and quality metrics. By using firewall policies and SDN, the MCs or MM can dynamically mark voice traffic with the appropriate DSCP values and queue them in the highest priority queue on the wireless and wired network12.

The other options are not sufficient or relevant for ensuring wireless voice traffic prioritization for Skype for Business. Broadcast suppression combined with AirGroup is used to reduce the network overhead and improve the user experience for wireless devices that use multicast or broadcast protocols, such as Apple Bonjour or Microsoft UPnP3. Airtime Fairness set to fair-access is used to balance the airtime usage among clients with different capabilities and data rates, such as 802.11ac and 802.11n4. Voice-aware Layer 3 roaming is used to enable seamless handoff of voice sessions across different subnets without dropping the call5. While these features may enhance the overall wireless performance and reliability, they do not directly prioritize voice traffic for Skype for Business.

 Aruba Instant APs are a simple, easy to deploy, and cost-effective solution for small office buildings that need wireless access. Aruba Instant APs can form a self-organizing and self-healing mesh network that supports basic rogue AP detection and provides a stateful firewall with role-based policies. Aruba Instant APs do not require a separate controller or license, and can be managed from the cloud or a mobile app. Aruba remote APs are designed for branch or home offices that need to connect to a central controller over a WAN link. Aruba campus APs and a Virtual Mobility Controller are suitable for larger or more complex deployments that need more scalability and flexibility. Aruba campus APs and an Aruba 7005 Mobility Controller are also more expensive and require additional hardware and licensing. References: Aruba Instant Access Points), Aruba Validated Design: Campus Wireless LAN)
