Multiple Pre-Shared Key (MPSK) is a feature that allows device-specific or group-specific passphrases to securely add headless devices to the WLAN Wireless Local Area Network. WLAN is a wireless computer network that links two or more devices using wireless communication to form a local area network (LAN) within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, campus, or office building. . MPSK enhances the WPA2 PSK Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 Pre-Shared Key. WPA2 PSK is a method of securing your network using WPA2 with the use of the optional Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication, which was designed for home users without an enterprise authentication server. mode by allowing different PSKs for different devices on the same SSID Service Set Identifier. SSID is a case-sensitive, 32 alphanumeric character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a wireless local-area network (WLAN). The SSID acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the basic service set (BSS) --- a component of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN architecture. .MPSK passwords can be generated or user-created and are managed by ClearPass Policy Manager12.

In a Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) stack, the Virtual IP (VIP) provides a single default gateway IP address for clients connected to the access switch. This VIP is a floating IP that is active on the primary VSX switch. In the event of a failure of the primary switch, the VIP will failover to the secondary switch, ensuring that client traffic can continue to be routed without disruption.

Aruba AirMatch is a feature that optimizes RF Radio Frequency. RF is any frequency within the electromagnetic spectrum associated with radio wave propagation. When an RF current is supplied to an antenna, an electromagnetic field is created that then is able to propagate through space. performance and user experience by using machine learning algorithms and historical data to dynamically adjust AP power levels, channel assignments, and channel width. AirMatch performs live firmware upgrades on Aruba APs by partitioning all the APs based on RF neighborhood data and minimizing the impact on clients. AirMatch uses a rolling upgrade process that upgrades one partition at a time while ensuring that adjacent partitions are not upgraded simultaneously.

A static route is a route that is manually configured on a router or switch and does not change unless it is modified by an administrator. Static routes are used to specify how traffic should reach specific destinations that are not directly connected to the device or that are not reachable by dynamic routing protocols. In Aruba CX switches, static routes can be configured using the ip route command in global configuration mode. Based on the ''show ip route'' output on an Aruba CX 8400 switch, the route ''10.1 20 0/24, vrf default via 10.1.12.2, [1/0]'' is a static route because it has an administrative distance of 1 and a metric of 0, which are typical values for static routes.

In Aruba Central, during the creation of a device configuration group, users can define various types of groups to manage and apply configurations to devices centrally. Among the options, 'Template group' and 'Default group' are valid types. A 'Template group' allows the definition of configuration settings in a template format, which can be applied to multiple devices or device groups, ensuring consistency and efficiency in configurations across the network. A 'Default group' is typically a predefined group in Aruba Central that applies a basic or initial set of configurations to devices that are not assigned to any other specific group. This helps in initial provisioning and management of devices. The other options, such as 'Security group,' 'UI group,' and 'ESP group,' are not standard group types defined in Aruba Central for device configuration purposes.

The correct command to add a static route to a class-c-network 10.2.10.0 via a gateway of 172.16.1.1 is ip-route 10.2.10.0/24 172.16.1.1 . This command specifies the destination network address (10.2.10.0) and prefix length (/24) and the next-hop address (172.16.1 .1) for reaching that network from the switch. The other commands are either incorrect syntax or incorrect parameters for adding a static route.

To add a static route in network devices, including Aruba switches, the correct command format generally includes the destination network, subnet mask (or CIDR notation for the mask), and the next-hop IP address. The command 'ip route 10.2.10.0/24 172.16.1.1' correctly specifies the destination network '10.2.10.0' with a class C subnet mask indicated by '/24', and '172.16.1.1' as the next-hop IP address. This command is succinct and follows the standard syntax for adding a static route in many network operating systems, including ArubaOS-CX. The other options either have incorrect syntax or include additional unnecessary parameters that are not typically part of the standard command to add a static route.

For configuring wireless access for multiple classes of IoT devices with varying security requirements, using a single SSID with Multiple Pre-Shared Keys (MPSK) is an efficient solution. MPSK allows different devices or groups of devices to connect to the same SSID but with unique PSKs, facilitating unique security policies for each class. Given that some IoT devices only support 802.11b, which operates in the 2.4GHz band, it is essential to include the 2.4GHz band in the configuration. The 5GHz band should also be included to support devices capable of operating in that band and to optimize network performance. The 6GHz band (option A) is not suitable since 802.11b devices are not compatible with it. Individual SSIDs for each IoT class (options C and D) would unnecessarily complicate network management and SSID overhead.

The signal to noise ratio (SNR) is a measure that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. SNR is defined as the ratio of signal power to the noise power, often expressed in decibels (dB).A high SNR means that the signal is clear and easy to detect or interpret, while a low SNR means that the signal is corrupted or obscured by noise and may be difficult to distinguish or recover3. To calculate the SNR in dB, we can use the following formula:

SNR (dB) = Signal power (dBm) - Noise power (dBm)

In this question, we are given that the noise floor measures -90 dBm (0.000000001 milliwatts) and the receiver's signal strength is -65 dBm (0.000316 milliwatts). Therefore, we can plug these values into the formula and get:

SNR (dB) = -65 dBm - (-90 dBm) SNR (dB) = -65 dBm + 90 dBm SNR (dB) = 25 dBm

Therefore, the correct answer is that the SNR is 25 dBm.
