HP HPE6-A47 Questions Answers

 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)

 The correct answer is option C, conversion of the existing Instant APs to campus APs (CAPs). This is because the existing Instant APs can be converted to CAPs by changing their operating mode and pointing them to the MC. This way, the customer can leverage the existing APs and avoid purchasing new ones. The MC can then provide centralized management, configuration, and control for the APs.

Option A is incorrect because the purchase of Universal APs is not necessary. Universal APs are APs that can operate in either Instant or CAP mode without requiring a conversion. However, the existing APs can be converted to CAPs without buying new ones.

Option B is incorrect because Aruba ClearPass is not required to onboard the APs as CAPs in the new MC-based deployment. Aruba ClearPass is a network access control (NAC) solution that provides authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services for wired and wireless devices. It is not involved in the conversion of Instant APs to CAPs.

Option D is incorrect because a Virtual Mobility Controller (VMC) is not a valid option to control Instant APs. A VMC is a software-based MC that runs on a hypervisor. It can control CAPs, but not Instant APs. Instant APs can only be controlled by another Instant AP acting as a Virtual Controller (VC).

Specifically, it aligns with the objectives outlined in Chapter 6: Wireless Network Design, where the Instant and CAP modes and the MC options are discussed.

 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.
