HP HPE2-W07 Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 12

A topic that you can introduce to begin qualifying a customer for Aruba IntroSpect is whether the customer uses SEIM and is overwhelmed with alerts12. This question helps qualify the customer by identifying their pain points with traditional security solutions that rely on predefined rules and signatures to detect threats12. Aruba IntroSpect is a User Behavior Analytics (UEBA) tool that uses supervised and unsupervised machine learning to automatically baseline user and device behavior while actively looking for anomalous activity that may indicate a threat12. The solution detects compromised users' systems by identifying changes in typical IT access and usage1

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.

The HPE OfficeConnect switch that you should suggest to a small customer who has a tight budget but needs 10 GbE uplinks is the HPE OfficeConnect 1850 switch4. The HPE OfficeConnect 1850 switch series offers affordable smart-managed Gigabit switches with 10 GbE uplinks for small businesses who need high performance connectivity for bandwidth-intensive applications4.

The topic of improving customer satisfaction scores and the role of mobile apps in their strategy is relevant to Aruba's location-based service solution and its value proposition.

You should explain to distinguish the Aruba location-based service solution from a Cisco solution that the Aruba solution can use cost-effective and easy-to-deploy battery-powered beacons or leverage beacons built into existing Aruba Aps while Cisco forces customers to rip and replace existing Aps for location services support12. Aruba beacons are small, low-power wireless transmitters that broadcast radio signals at regular intervals that can be heard and interpreted by iOS and Android devices1. Aruba beacons can be deployed as standalone devices powered by batteries or USB, or integrated into select Aruba Aps1. Cisco location-based services rely on Cisco Aironet Active Sensor devices that require external power supplies and Ethernet connections2.

The benefit of Central that you should explain to a customer who requires high availability for management is that Central can switch to a local management console if the connection to the cloud is lost34. Central supports offline mode operation for network management when there is no Internet connectivity between Central and managed devices3. In offline mode, network administrators can access a local web UI on an Aruba gateway device (such as an Instant AP or SDWAN gateway) to perform basic configuration tasks such as changing SSIDs, passwords, VLANs, etc.34.

The feature of the Aruba 8400 switch that you should emphasize to address the customer issue of spending a lot of time troubleshooting is the Network Analytics Engine (NAE)56. NAE is an embedded analytics framework within AOS-CX that enables IT teams to proactively monitor, troubleshoot, and remediate network issues in real time using simple scripting agents56. NAE provides visibility into network health by collecting data from various sources such as switch telemetry, syslog messages, SNMP traps, etc., and applying analytics algorithms to detect anomalies and root causes56.

The statement about nurses looking for misplaced equipment indicates that the customer could benefit from Aruba asset tracking capabilities and its value proposition.

The selling point of Aruba solutions for a customer who currently has Cisco networking equipment and plans to migrate gradually is that Aruba AirWave is multi-vendor, so it can manage both legacy Cisco products and Aruba products together12. Aruba AirWave is a network operations system that provides granular visibility into devices, users and applications on the network, as well as proactive monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities12. AirWave supports wired and wireless infrastructure from Aruba and a wide range of third-party manufacturers, including Cisco13.
