What Aruba technology allows multiple APs to coordinate channel and power settings automatically after deployment?
Answer: ARM (Adaptive Radio Management)
ARM dynamically adjusts channel selection and transmit power across APs to optimize coverage and minimize interference.
When deploying an AP in a location with no existing wired infrastructure, which Aruba feature enables connectivity back to the network?
Answer: Mesh networking
Aruba mesh networking allows APs to backhaul traffic wirelessly to a mesh portal AP connected to the wired network.
An Aruba AP is deployed in a conference room that is shielded with low-e glass. What deployment adjustment should be made?
Answer: Place an additional AP inside the shielded room
Low-e glass significantly attenuates RF signals, requiring an AP to be placed inside the shielded area for proper coverage.
Which deployment scenario requires an Aruba AP to be configured in 'Air Monitor' mode?
Answer: Detecting and classifying rogue APs across all channels
Air Monitor mode dedicates the AP to scanning all channels for rogue detection and WIDS/WIPS functions without serving clients.
What is the default encapsulation method used when an Aruba AP in tunnel mode forwards client traffic to the controller?
Answer: CAPWAP data channel
Aruba APs use CAPWAP (Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points) to encapsulate both control and data traffic to the controller.
During AP deployment planning, what does the term 'cell breathing' refer to?
Answer: The automatic expansion of an AP's coverage area when a neighboring AP fails
Cell breathing occurs when an AP automatically increases transmit power to fill coverage gaps created by a failed neighboring AP.
An Aruba AP is being installed above a drop ceiling. What cable management practice is required by the NEC for in-plenum AP deployments?
Answer: Use plenum-rated (CMP) cables only
NEC requires plenum-rated (CMP) cables in air-handling spaces like drop ceilings to prevent toxic fumes during a fire.
