HPE Aruba Networking Central licensing must be selected according to the functions required on access points and gateways.

The access point Advanced subscription provides the application-aware capabilities required for the proposed WLAN, including AirSlice functionality.

AirSlice supports application-level visibility and traffic prioritization, making it appropriate where latency-sensitive applications require differentiated wireless treatment.

The AP Advanced subscription also incorporates the foundational WLAN capabilities associated with centralized management, radio-frequency optimization, and wireless security monitoring.

Option C is therefore required.

The WLAN Gateway subscription supports gateway-based WLAN functionality, including clustering, tunneled client traffic, dynamic segmentation, and centralized policy enforcement.

These capabilities are necessary because the proposed architecture uses redundant gateways and requires tunneled traffic forwarding.

Option D is consequently the appropriate gateway licensing choice.

Option A alone does not provide the AirSlice capabilities specified in the question's original licensing baseline.

Option B is not the specific WLAN Gateway entitlement requested for a gateway-based campus WLAN.

HPE's Central licensing guide also identifies Application Visibility and AI Insights as features whose availability can depend on subscription level and software generation.

The final bill of materials should therefore reference the applicable Central licensing model, selected AP series, gateway models, and software versions.
