Your customer’s CX switches are managed in HPE Aruba Networking Central. They have recently connected some new AP-615 access points and want to be notified if the switches have any capacity issues. Which alerts should you enable? (Choose two.)
Capacity management in a high-density wireless environment (especially with Wi-Fi 6E APs like the AP-615 ) focuses on two finite resources: Bandwidth and Power .
Switch PoE Utilization (Option D): AP-615s are high-performance devices that typically require PoE+ (802.3at) power. As more APs are added to a switch, the total power draw approaches the switch ' s PoE Budget . Enabling this alert ensures that Central notifies the administrator when the total power consumed by the APs reaches a critical threshold, preventing a scenario where new APs fail to power up or existing APs reboot due to power starvation.
Switch Uplink Port Usage (Option A): This alert monitors the aggregate traffic flowing through the switch ' s uplinks to the core or distribution layer. Since multiple APs share these uplinks, high wireless client activity can saturate the backhaul. Monitoring the " Uplink Port Usage " (measured in GB over a duration) allows the customer to identify when they need to upgrade to higher-speed transceivers (e.g., from 10G to 25G) or add more links to the LAG.
Why other options are incorrect:
Options C and E: Port Tx/Rx rates are useful for monitoring individual ports, but " Capacity Issues " for a group of APs is better represented by the aggregate Uplink usage.
Option B: Link Status Change notifies you of a down/up event, which is a connectivity/fault issue rather than a capacity/utilization issue.
