power adapter to draw power.

CPoE or PoE+ enabled switchports are rarely used given concerns about causing electrical interference, with the data also carried over Ethernet cabling.

I'm pretty sure the person who wrote option B has never actually set up an Aruba AP before. AC power adapters? Really?

Option D is the way to go. PoE is the standard for Aruba APs, and it's the most convenient way to provide both network and power to the devices.

Haha, I love the irony of option A. Using multi-mode fiber cabling to power an Ethernet device? That's a new one!

I was a bit confused by options B and C. Aruba APs definitely use PoE or PoE+ and don't typically rely on AC power adapters. And I've never heard of concerns about electrical interference with PoE, so that doesn't sound right either.

Option D seems like the correct answer here. Aruba APs are typically powered using PoE or PoE+ enabled switchports, which provide both Ethernet connectivity and power to the access point.

I'm not sure, but I think B could also be correct. Some APs do use AC to DC power adapters instead of PoE.

I think D is correct. It makes sense to use PoE enabled switchports for both power and connectivity.
