A: Disable Its console ports Correct answer
B: Place a Tamper Evident Label (TELS) over its console port Correct answer
C: Disable the Web Ul.
D: Configure WPA3-Enterpnse security on the AP
E: install a CA-signed certificate
Correct Answer:
A. Disable Its console ports; B. Place a Tamper Evident Label (TELS) over its console port
Explanation

When deploying Aruba Instant APs in physically accessible locations, securing management access is critical. Disabling console ports prevents unauthorized local configuration access through serial connections. Applying Tamper Evident Labels (TELs) provides visual indication of physical tampering attempts on console ports. These measures specifically address the physical security vulnerabilities inherent in accessible deployment scenarios, preventing attackers from gaining management access through direct physical connections.

Why Incorrect

C. Disabling Web UI removes a legitimate remote management method without addressing physical access concerns.
D. WPA3-Enterprise secures wireless client connections, not management access to the AP itself.
E. CA-signed certificates enhance HTTPS security but don't prevent physical console access exploitation.
