What is one way that Control Plane Security (CPSec) enhances security for the network?

Question

Options

• AIt protects management traffic between APs and Mobility Controllers (MCs) from eavesdropping.
• BIt prevents Denial of Service (DoS) attacks against Mobility Controllers' (MCs') control plane.
• CIt protects wireless clients' traffic, tunneled between APs and Mobility Controllers, from
• DIt prevents access from unauthorized IP addresses to critical services, such as SSH, on Mobility

Explanation

Control Plane Security (CPSec) is a feature in HPE Aruba Networking's AOS-8 architecture that secures the communication between Access Points (APs) and Mobility Controllers (MCs). The control plane includes management traffic, such as AP registration, configuration updates, and heartbeat messages, which are critical for the operation of the wireless network. Option A, "It protects management traffic between APs and Mobility Controllers (MCs) from eavesdropping," is correct. CPSec uses certificate-based authentication and encryption (IPSec tunnels) to secure the control plane communication between APs and MCs. This ensures that management traffic, which includes sensitive information like configuration data and AP status, is encrypted and protected from eavesdropping by unauthorized parties on the network.
