A customer is deploying a solution using HPE Aruba Networking Central. They need to ensure that different types of devices are automatically placed into the correct network segments with the right security policies when they connect.
Use Case: Automated Device Security
- Requirement 1: Automatically identify device types (e.g., corporate laptop, IoT camera, guest smartphone).
- Requirement 2: Dynamically assign devices to predefined roles.
- Requirement 3: Enforce role-based access policies (e.g., IoT cameras can only talk to the video server).
Which Aruba Central feature set is designed to deliver this automated, policy-based access control?

• A. WAN gateway health monitoring
• B. Cloud-native Network Access Control (NAC) with client profiling
• C. Virtual Private Network (VPN) monitoring
• D. Firmware compliance reporting

An HPE sales professional is meeting with a hospital's IT director who is planning a major EHR (Electronic Health Record) system modernization. The IT director has listed several critical concerns.
