Which two methods can be used to enhance security within the HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer environment? (Select TWO)

Question

Options

• AImplementing QoS policies
• BEnabling VRF-based segmentation
• CApplying DNS forwarding
• DUtilizing role-based access control (RBAC)

• A
  7% (2)
• B
  90% (26)
• C
  3% (1)

Explanation

VRF-based segmentation (B) isolates network traffic into separate virtual routing domains, preventing lateral movement between segments and limiting the blast radius of a breach. Role-based access control (RBAC) (D) restricts what authenticated users can see and do within Fabric Composer based on their assigned roles, enforcing least-privilege access to management functions - a core security control in any orchestration platform.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (QoS policies): Quality of Service prioritizes traffic for performance, not security - it doesn't restrict access or isolate threats.
• C (DNS forwarding): DNS forwarding resolves name queries to upstream resolvers; it's a connectivity feature, not a security mechanism in this context.

Memory tip: Think "SR" - Segmentation + Roles. Security in network fabric environments comes down to who can access (RBAC) and what can talk to what (VRF segmentation). QoS and DNS are operational tools, not security controls.
