A retail chain with 500 locations is migrating from an AOS-8 Instant (IAP) architecture to AOS-10 managed by HPE Aruba Networking Central. The customer demands minimal downtime during the transition and requires that existing RF and WLAN configurations are preserved.
Which of the following describes the correct procedural workflow for this migration?
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
To ensure a smooth migration with minimal downtime, the administrator should first create a dedicated AOS-10 architecture group in Central. The configuration (WLANs, RF profiles) must be created or cloned into this new group, and the firmware compliance set to an AOS-10 version. Once prepared, devices can be moved from their existing AOS-8 group into the new AOS-10 group, triggering the upgrade and configuration application seamlessly.

When provisioning a new HPE Aruba Networking Gateway for an AOS-10 deployment, the device must establish communication with HPE Aruba Networking Central. If the site does not have a DHCP server available on the WAN link, how must the uplink configuration be applied to ensure the Gateway can reach Central?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
If DHCP is not available on the uplink (WAN) connection, the Gateway cannot automatically reach the Internet or HPE Aruba Networking Central. An administrator must manually configure static IP parameters (IP, subnet, gateway, DNS) using the console port (CLI) or by connecting a laptop to the Gateway's local provisioning network (WebUI) to establish the initial uplink.

The deployment process for AOS-10 devices relies heavily on a cloud-based service that securely registers HPE Aruba Networking devices and automatically routes them to the appropriate HPE Aruba Networking Central account.
Select the correct service that fulfills this role:
Show answer details
Correct answer: D
HPE Aruba Networking Activate is the cloud-based inventory and provisioning service. When a factory-default AOS-10 device boots and gets an internet connection, it checks in with Activate, which verifies the device's hardware credentials and redirects it to the correct HPE Aruba Networking Central instance for configuration.

A network architect is designing a greenfield wireless deployment for a large enterprise campus. The organization has chosen HPE Aruba Networking AOS-10 to simplify management and scale seamlessly without relying on physical on-premises mobility controllers. Which of the following best describes the fundamental architectural shift in the AOS-10 control plane compared to legacy AOS-8 environments?
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
In AOS-10, the architecture is controllerless from a control plane perspective. HPE Aruba Networking Central handles the management and orchestration. Access points communicate directly with Central for configuration and control plane functions (like roaming coordination). Data can be bridged locally by the AP or tunneled to a Gateway cluster, entirely eliminating the legacy AOS-8 requirement for local Mobility Controllers.

True or False: In an AOS-10 deployment, HPE Aruba Networking Gateways operate primarily as management controllers that push configurations to Access Points in a localized branch.
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
False. In AOS-10, Gateways do not manage Access Points or push configurations to them. Both APs and Gateways are managed directly by HPE Aruba Networking Central. Gateways serve primarily as data plane aggregation points, VPN concentrators, and policy enforcement points.
- 6
A financial services organization is planning their AOS-10 topology. They intend to deploy HPE Aruba Networking Gateways in their data center to handle various networking functions. Which THREE of the following are valid roles that a Gateway can be assigned to perform in an AOS-10 environment? (Select THREE)

Correct answer: B, C, D
A Branch Gateway role is supported in AOS-10 to provide WAN routing, firewalling, and SD-WAN capabilities at branch locations.
A WLAN Gateway is a valid role in AOS-10, responsible for terminating User-Based Tunneling (UBT) and AP tunnels in a campus environment without SD-WAN functions.
In AOS-10, a Gateway can operate as a VPNC to terminate SD-WAN tunnels from Branch Gateways or Microbranch APs. It can also act as a Branch Gateway (BG) or a WLAN Gateway (WG) to aggregate AP tunnels.
