Q: 14
Which two security mechanisms protect Aruba Central against unauthorized switch access? (Select two)

Its B and D for this I think. Dynamic VLAN assignment and smart rate ports deal with network access and hardware connection, which should help prevent unauthorized access too. Saw those covered in practice questions, but could be off here.
A/C is the right combo here imo. MFA protects against compromised passwords by needing a second factor to log in, and IP whitelisting limits access to approved subnets so random admins can't even reach the management portal. B and D are more about network edge or hardware features, not direct Aruba Central login security. If you see questions mentioning admin access, always think authentication controls first.
D imo
If the question means 'physical access' instead of management login, would smart rate ports (D) be considered correct? Would help to know if they're talking logical or physical security.

A and C fit better here. MFA and IP Whitelisting actually control admin access to Aruba Central, while B is more about user VLANs at the edge. Think the question's meant to trip you up with that one, pretty sure on this but open to corrections.
B . Dynamic VLAN Assignment gets brought up in a lot of Aruba Central practice sets and the official guide talks about it for access control, so I figured it was one of the two main mechanisms. Not 100 percent but saw it highlighted in some sample exams, curious if anyone else flagged that differently.
B is a bit of a trap here. Dynamic VLAN Assignment (B) is great for user/device access at the edge, but it doesn't restrict who can log in to Aruba Central itself. A and C make more sense for management layer protection. Happy to hear if someone thinks otherwise though, not 100% sure.
A/C? Pretty sure it's MFA plus IP whitelisting, saw similar in the official guide and some practice dumps.
Be respectful. No spam.
