HPE2-W07 Exam Dumps - Selling Aruba Products and Solutions

One security benefit that the controllers provide is that they can apply role-based firewall policies to wireless and wired traffic3. Role-based access control (RBAC) is a feature that assigns roles to users and devices based on their identity, location, device type, time of day, etc., and enforces granular policies at the edge of the network3. This helps prevent unauthorized access and data leakage across the network.

Some possible points to explain about Aruba CX switches are:

• Aruba CX switches have a large feature set that covers all aspects of data center networking, such as high performance, scalability, security, automation, analytics, and cloud integration12. They also exceed Cisco switches in some areas, such as programmability, agility, and cloud-native micro-services architecture3.
• Aruba CX switches integrate with HPE compute solutions as well as other vendors’ solutions through open standards and APIs1. They also provide a consistent operating system across all switch models and form factors, simplifying management and operations2.
• Aruba CX switches have a simple licensing model that does not require customers to unlock more features by adding specialized licenses1. They also offer flexible consumption models that allow customers to pay as they grow or consume technology as a service3.

A characteristic that could make a Virtual Mobility Controller (VMC), as opposed to a hardware controller, a good solution for a customer is need for flexibility in moves and changes3. VMC is a software-based controller that runs on x86 virtualized servers3. VMC provides more flexibility than hardware controllers because it can be easily deployed, moved, or scaled up or down according to changing network demands3.

According to Aruba’s website1, Aruba AIOps is a solution that uses artificial intelligence and analytics to identify exact root causes of network issues, auto-remediate problems, proactively monitor user experience, tune the network to prevent issues before they occur, and optimize and secure the network using peer benchmarking and prescriptive recommendations2. It is built into Aruba Central, a cloud service that manages networking equipment that runs ArubaOS services3.

One reason that Aruba AIOps is more powerful than many competing solutions is that Aruba has extensive data stores on which to draw, based on tens of thousands of customers over multiple years4. This enables Aruba AIOps to leverage a large amount of anonymized data from diverse network environments and use machine learning algorithms to provide accurate and actionable insights for network operations5.

One key differentiating feature of Aruba ClearPass as compared to competitors such as Cisco is that ClearPass Policy Manager adjusts access permissions based on circumstances of the user and the device for both pre-admission and attack response3. ClearPass Policy Manager is a network access control (NAC) solution that provides granular policy enforcement based on user roles, device types, location, time of day, and other contextual factors3. ClearPass Policy Manager can also dynamically change access privileges when it detects a change in posture or behavior of an endpoint or user3.

Customers are increasingly interested in network access control (NAC) and continuous monitoring for anomalies as they deploy more Internet of Things (IoT) devices1. IoT devices introduce new security risks and challenges for network management, as they often lack built-in security features, use different protocols and standards, and generate large volumes of data1. NAC solutions can help identify, authenticate, and authorize IoT devices on the network, while continuous monitoring solutions can help detect and respond to any abnormal or malicious behavior.

The customer need that indicates that you should propose Aruba Mobility Master as part of an Aruba controller-based solution is the need for always-on wireless connectivity with no downtime [12. Aruba Mobility Master (MM) is a network management system that provides centralized control over wireless LAN controllers (WLCs) and access points (APs)[11][13]. It enables high availability features such as hitless failover, seamless roaming, load balancing, etc.[11][14].

You need to change the APs’ mode to Campus mode and upgrade to campus software before adding the gateways1. This is because AP-only deployment model does not support gateways2.
