Exam HPE7-A01 Topic 6 Question 90 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A01 exam
Question #: 90
Topic #: 6
A client is connecting to 802.1X SSID that has been configured in tunnel mode with the default AP-group settings.
After receiving Access-Accept from the RADIUS server, the Aruba Gateway will send Access-Accept to the AP through which tunnel?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

According to the Aruba Documentation Portal1, 802.1X is a standard for port-based network access control that uses a RADIUS server to authenticate and authorize wireless clients. 802.1X can be configured in different modes, such as bridge mode, tunnel mode, or split tunnel mode.
Option C: GRE tunnel
This is because option C shows how to configure an SSID in tunnel mode with the default AP-group settings on an Aruba switch. In tunnel mode, all client traffic from the access points is tunneled back to the controller and the controller would in turn put the client traffic onto the network2. The GRE protocol is used to encapsulate and decapsulate the traffic between the access points and the controller3.
Therefore, option C is correct.
