A customer wants to get branch networks up and running more quickly. Which Aruba features or solutions should you emphasize?

Question

Options

• AInstaller app and Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
• BSmart Rate and Air Slice
• CAruba Fabric Composer (AFC) and Virtual Switching Framework (VSF)
• DAl Assist and Al Search

• A
  77% (41)
• B
  8% (4)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  13% (7)

Explanation

Option A is correct because the Aruba Installer app and Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) are specifically designed to accelerate branch deployments - the Installer app lets non-technical staff physically set up devices by following guided steps on a mobile app, while ZTP automatically configures devices when they connect to the network, eliminating the need for pre-configuration or on-site engineers.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (Smart Rate / Air Slice): These are wireless performance features - Smart Rate supports multi-gigabit speeds on existing cables, and Air Slice provides per-client QoS. Neither speeds up deployment.
• C (AFC / VSF): Aruba Fabric Composer automates data center fabric management, and VSF is a switch-stacking technology. Both are data center/campus core features, not branch deployment accelerators.
• D (AI Assist / AI Search): These are AIOps/troubleshooting tools within Aruba Central for diagnostics and search - useful after deployment, not for getting branches up and running faster.

Memory tip: Think "branch = boots on the ground problem." ZTP and the Installer app solve the people and time problem of branch rollout - zero-touch means zero need for a skilled tech at each site. Any answer about performance tuning, data center fabric, or AI troubleshooting is solving a different problem entirely.
