 A metal firewall is a significant RF obstacle that can be difficult to see visually and might require access to blueprints. A metal firewall is a type of fire-resistant barrier that is made of metal or metal-clad materials and is used to separate different sections of a building or a network. A metal firewall can block or attenuate RF signals that pass through it, causing coverage gaps, signal degradation, or interference in the wireless deployment. A metal firewall can also reflect RF signals, creating multipath fading or distortion in the wireless environment. Therefore, an architect needs to identify the location and thickness of any metal firewalls in the building and account for their impact on the RF design. A metal firewall may require additional access points, antennas, or cabling to provide adequate coverage and performance across the wireless deployment. A metal firewall may also affect the channel planning, transmit power settings, and antenna orientation of the access points and radios. A metal firewall can be difficult to see visually, as it may be hidden behind walls, ceilings, or floors, or blended with other materials.Therefore, an architect might need access to blueprints or other sources of information to locate and measure any metal firewalls in the building. References:

 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.
