What component of the CX 10000 provides advanced security monitoring?

Question

Options

• ASNMP
• BPensando Policy Manager
• CQoS Policy Manager
• DFabric Composer

• A

• B
  89% (31)
• C
  3% (1)
• D

Explanation

Pensando Policy Manager (B) is the correct answer because the HPE Aruba CX 10000 integrates Pensando's Distributed Services Card (DSC) technology, and the Pensando Policy Manager is the software layer that enables advanced, stateful security monitoring - including microsegmentation, distributed firewalling, and deep traffic visibility - directly at the line card level.

• A (SNMP) is wrong because SNMP is a generic network management protocol for polling device metrics; it is not a security monitoring component specific to the CX 10000.
• C (QoS Policy Manager) is wrong because QoS (Quality of Service) governs traffic prioritization and bandwidth, not security inspection or threat monitoring.
• D (Fabric Composer) is wrong because Fabric Composer is an HPE tool for automating and orchestrating fabric configuration, not for security monitoring.

Memory tip: Think "Pensando = Protection" - the "P" in both Pensando and Policy reminds you it handles security Policies, while the other options each have a giveaway in their names (SNMP = management, QoS = quality, Composer = orchestration).
