Answer: B

Explanation:

The Aruba installer app is designed for the setup and onboarding of various Aruba devices, including UXI sensors. By scanning the barcode on the UXI sensor, it can be easily added to your environment. This app will guide you through the necessary steps to get the sensor online and working within an 802.1X protected network.

Let’s address the other options:

A. Use the UXI app on your smartphone and connect the UXI via Bluetooth – As of the last update, there was no standalone "UXI app" distinct from the Aruba installer app for this purpose.

C. Connect the new UXI from an already installed one and adjust the initial configuration. – This isn’t the standard method for onboarding a new UXI sensor. Each UXI sensor has its configuration and should be onboarded individually.

D. Use the CLI via the serial cable and adjust the initial configuration. – While many network devices provide CLI access for deep configurations and troubleshooting, the UXI sensors are designed to be simple and user-friendly, with the primary method of onboarding being through the installer app.

So, the best answer from the given options is:

B. Use the Aruba installer app on your smartphone to scan the barcode.
