A customer needs to deploy IoT more securely. How can HPE Aruba Networking solutions help the customer achieve this objective?
Correct Answer: B
The correct option is B because HPE Aruba Networking Central, combined with AI-powered insights, provides visibility into all devices on the network, including IoT. This allows customers to discover, classify, and monitor IoT endpoints and enforce security policies. HPE emphasizes that IoT devices are often difficult to secure due to their diversity and lack of built-in protections, so network-based discovery and monitoring is critical. Relevant extracts from official HPE Aruba Networking materials: "Aruba Central provides AI-powered visibility that automatically identifies and profiles all devices- including IoT-connected to the network, enabling IT to apply consistent security and segmentation policies." "IoT devices often lack inherent security; Aruba's approach leverages dynamic segmentation, policy enforcement, and AI-driven monitoring to ensure IoT traffic is visible and secured." "By using AI-driven Central, organizations can quickly discover rogue, unknown, or misbehaving IoT devices and take automated action to reduce risk." Why the other options are incorrect: A is inaccurate; HPE Aruba Networking works with an ecosystem of security and IoT partners and does not claim to be the only vendor with IoT-specific security. C Fabric Composer is a data center automation tool and is not designed to create secure IoT tunnels. D is incorrect because HPE Aruba Networking does not require agents to be installed on IoT devices, as most IoT endpoints cannot support agents. Instead, Aruba provides agentless discovery and monitoring.

Question 12
You are meeting with a potential customer for HPE Aruba Networking data center solutions. Which question best directs the conversation to the benefits of HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000?
Correct Answer: A
The correct answer isAbecause the Aruba CX 10000 Switch Series is designed specifically to address east- west security in the data center by integratingstateful firewalling and distributed services directly into the top-of-rack switch. This provides protection for network traffic within the data center against cyberattacks such as lateral movement, ransomware spread, and insider threats. Relevant extracts from official HPE Aruba Networking documentation: * "The Aruba CX 10000 with Pensando provides a unique ability to extend Zero Trust and distributed firewalling deep into the data center, securing traffic east-west at scale." * "By embedding stateful security services directly in the switching fabric, the CX 10000 eliminates blind spots where east-west traffic would otherwise go unprotected." * "Organizations can now protect critical workloads from advanced threats by applying segmentation and firewall policies closest to the application." Why the other options are incorrect: * BSecuring IoT devices is primarily a campus/edge use case (addressed by Aruba Central, ClearPass, and Dynamic Segmentation), not a core CX 10000 differentiator. * CRansomware recovery is important but focuses on backup/restore and disaster recovery, not the proactive in-fabric security benefits of CX 10000. * DLocation-based services are a WLAN and edge networking capability, not relevant to data center switching.

Question 13
What is one of the advantages of selling HPE GreenLake for Networking Service Packs?
Correct Answer: B
The correct answer isBbecauseHPE GreenLake for Networking Service Packsare pre-defined bundles of network-as-a-service offerings that simplify how partners and customers can consume, design, and deliver network-as-a-service (NaaS). Instead of requiring custom design and lengthy proposals for every customer, Service Packs providestandardized offeringsthat accelerate adoption and make it easier for partners to sell NaaS consistently. Relevant extracts from HPE Aruba Networking documentation: * "GreenLake Service Packs simplify the design, sale, and deployment of NaaS by providing pre-defined packages for different customer needs." * "These Service Packs accelerate time-to-value by offering ready-to-deploy solutions aligned to common customer requirements." * "Service Packs reduce complexity in NaaS transactions, making it easier for partners to design, price, and deliver GreenLake solutions." * "With HPE GreenLake for Networking, partners can streamline NaaS offerings and customers can adopt consumption-based models faster." Why the other options are incorrect: * AIntelligent Operations is not tied to discounted pricing through Service Packs. * CService Packs arestandardized, not fully customizable; customization is available through broader GreenLake engagements. * DGreenLake Service Packs do not exist to sell "unavailable" solutions but to simplify howexisting Aruba solutionsare consumed as-a-service.

Question 14
What topic would uncover whether a customer could have a use case for HPE Aruba Networking Zero Trust Security?
Correct Answer: B
The correct answer isBbecause the foundation of Aruba's Zero Trust Security strategy isvisibility, control, and continuous monitoring of all users and devices-including IoT-on the network.Aruba highlights that Zero Trust is not achieved simply with perimeter defenses but requires pervasive identity-based controls and segmentation inside the network. Relevant extracts from official HPE Aruba Networking documentation: * "Zero Trust begins with full-spectrum visibility of all devices, users, and workloads connecting to the network to ensure nothing is trusted by default." * "With Aruba ClearPass Device Insight and Aruba Central Client Insights, organizations gain the visibility and control required to enforce least-privilege access policies for users and IoT devices." * "The inability to see and control unmanaged IoT devices represents a major security blind spot that Zero Trust frameworks directly address." * "Aruba's Zero Trust model applies identity-based access and dynamic segmentation to secure all connected endpoints, regardless of location or device type." Why the other options are incorrect: * AWireless encryption knowledge is not a determining factor for Zero Trust adoption-it is too narrow and technical. * CPerimeter firewalls are legacy security strategies; Aruba stresses that Zero Trust must focus inside the network, not just at the perimeter. * DUser experience on personal devices (BYOD) is relevant but does not directly uncover a Zero Trust use case. The primary driver is IoT and endpoint visibility with policy enforcement.
