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:

The customer needs a solution that can terminate VPN tunnels for Aruba RAPs, which are remote access points that connect to the corporate network over the Internet. The customer has only one public IP address, which means that they need to use NAT to forward the IPsec traffic to the device that will terminate the VPN tunnel. The customer also wants N+1 redundancy, which means that they need at least two devices that can act as backup for each other in case of failure.

The solution that meets the customer requirements is to use two Aruba MCs on the same subnet that use VRRP without clustering. VRRP stands for Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol, and it is a protocol that allows multiple devices to share a virtual IP address and act as a single gateway for the network. This way, the customer can use the virtual IP address as the public IP address for the NAT, and the IPsec traffic will be forwarded to the device that is the VRRP master. If the master device fails, the backup device will take over the role of the master and continue to terminate the VPN tunnels. This provides N+1 redundancy for the customer.

The other options are not suitable for the customer requirements:

• Option B is not suitable because a Layer 3 cluster requires two public IP addresses, one for each MC. The customer only has one public IP address, so they cannot use this option.
• Option C is not suitable because VRRP does not work across different subnets. The customer needs to have the MCs on the same subnet to use VRRP.
• Option D is not suitable because a Layer 2 cluster does not support NAT. The customer needs to use NAT to forward the IPsec traffic to the MCs.

whether the MC needs to support advanced 8.x features. This is because the Aruba 7000 Series MCs are based on the older hardware platform and can only run up to ArubaOS 6.5.x, while the Aruba 7200 Series MCs are based on the newer hardware platform and can run ArubaOS 8.x and above. ArubaOS 8.x introduces many advanced features, such as clustering, MultiZone, AirMatch, and dynamic segmentation, that are not supported by the Aruba 7000 Series MCs. Therefore, if the architect needs to design a solution that leverages these features, the Aruba 7200 Series MCs are the better choice.

Option A is incorrect because the number of wireless devices that the MC needs to support is not a key criteria to choose between the Aruba 7000 Series or 7200 Series MCs.Both series can support a similar number of devices, depending on the model and license.

Option B is incorrect because whether the MC needs to terminate VPN tunnels is not a key criteria to choose between the Aruba 7000 Series or 7200 Series MCs. Both series can terminate VPN tunnels, such as IPSec, GRE, and RAP, depending on the model and license.

Option C is incorrect because the need to deploy controllers in a cluster is not a key criteria to choose between the Aruba 7000 Series or 7200 Series MCs. Both series can participate in a cluster, as long as they run the same ArubaOS version and have the same license.
