The customer wants to use certificates to authenticate user devices, which means that they need a strong and secure method of verifying the identity of the devices that connect to the employee WLAN. The best option for this is to use EAP-TLS instead of PEAP-MSCHAPv2. EAP-TLS stands for Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security, and it is a protocol that uses certificates on both the client and the server side to establish a mutual authentication and a secure channel for data exchange. EAP-TLS is considered the most secure EAP method, as it prevents common attacks such as dictionary attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, and replay attacks.

The other options are not suitable for the customer requirements:

• Option B is incorrect because TKIP encryption is weaker than AES encryption. TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, and it is an older encryption method that was designed to replace WEP, which had serious security flaws. However, TKIP also has some vulnerabilities, and it is not recommended for modern WLANs. AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard, and it is a newer and stronger encryption method that provides better security and performance for WLANs.
• Option C is incorrect because WPA2-PSK is less secure than WPA2-Enterprise. WPA2-PSK stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2-Pre-Shared Key, and it is a security mode that uses a common passphrase or key to authenticate all devices that connect to the WLAN. However, this passphrase or key can be easily compromised or shared, and it does not provide individual authentication or encryption for each device. WPA2-Enterprise stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2-Enterprise, and it is a security mode that uses a RADIUS server to authenticate each device individually and dynamically generate encryption keys for each session. WPA2-Enterprise provides better security and scalability for WLANs.
• Option D is incorrect because TTLS does not use certificates to authenticate user devices. TTLS stands for Tunneled Transport Layer Security, and it is a protocol that uses certificates only on the server side to establish a secure tunnel for data exchange. The client side can use different methods to authenticate, such as passwords, tokens, or certificates. However, TTLS does not require certificates on the client side, and it is less secure than EAP-TLS.

In the event of an MM outage, MCs continue to use their existing licenses for 30 days, and the network remains up. However, you cannot change the configuration items in the controller network. In addition, the MM manages many of the higher level functions that can cause issues in the network if the MM fails. Aruba recommends a backup MM for these situations. From an economic point of view, a backup MM for a VMM is free. If a customer has a hardware MM, the customer must purchase a backup hardware MM.

The customer needs to upgrade their wireless network, which has a single large building with four floors. The customer requires 30 APs on each floor, totaling 120 APs for the whole building. The customer also wants to use a MM-based architecture, and deployone Aruba 7030 MC on each floor, with the MCs combined in a cluster for seamless client failover and roaming. However, the proposed solution does not meet the customer’s requirements, because the Aruba 7030 MC does not support enough APs for the customer’s needs. Each Aruba 7030 MC can only support up to 64 APs, which means that deploying one on each floor would not be enough to support all the required APs. The architect should explain this limitation to the customer, and suggest a different solution that can support more APs, such as using a higher-capacity MC model, or deploying more MCs per floor.
