A customer has recently deployed AP-615s at their new office and is wondering on which band the radios will operate with the default configuration after creating a tri-band SSID. What should you…

Question

Options

• AThe AP will operate on the 2.4GHz and 6GHz bands
• BThe AP will operate on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands
• CThe AP will operate on the 5GHz and 6GHz bands
• D6GHz will not be used unless manually configured

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  88% (36)
• C
  7% (3)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Option B is correct because the Aruba AP-615, despite being a Wi-Fi 6E tri-band capable access point, only activates the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios by default when a tri-band SSID is created - the 6GHz radio requires explicit manual configuration to become operational, often due to additional regulatory and security requirements (such as mandatory WPA3) associated with the 6GHz band.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (2.4GHz + 6GHz): This omits 5GHz, which is active by default, and incorrectly assumes 6GHz activates automatically.
• C (5GHz + 6GHz): This omits 2.4GHz, which always operates by default, and again wrongly assumes 6GHz is auto-enabled.
• D is tempting because the 6GHz statement is technically true, but it's incomplete - it doesn't answer which bands will be used, making B the more precise and actionable answer.

Memory tip: Think of 6GHz as a "locked door" - the AP-615 has the key (hardware capability), but you must manually unlock it. Default = the two legacy bands (2.4 + 5GHz) only.
