A newly connected 500R series access point is not visible in HPE Aruba Networking Central. You have run the following commands to troubleshoot. Based on the output, what could be the problem?
The correct answer is B. The DHCP server is not available. The access point is advertising a 169.254.x.x address, which indicates it did not receive an address from DHCP. This points to DHCP not being reachable or not providing leases for the management VLAN used by the AP.
