NEW QUESTION # 76
As part of setting up an HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Onboard solution for wireless clients, you created Network Settings, a Configuration Profile, and a Provisioning Settings object in ClearPass Onboard. You also ran the ClearPass Onboard Service Only Template on ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM).
You now need to ensure that only domain users are authenticated and allowed to log into the ClearPass Onboard portal.
Which component should you edit?
- A. The 802.1X services on CPPM used for wireless clients
- B. The Network Settings on ClearPass Onboard
- C. The ClearPass Onboard Service Pre-Auth service on CPPM
- D. The Provisioning profile on ClearPass Onboard
Answer: C
Explanation:
Access to the Onboard portal is controlled by a dedicated Pre-Auth service in ClearPass Policy Manager:
* The "ClearPass Onboard Service Pre-Auth" service defines which authentication sources (e.g., AD domain, local DB, guest) are used when users log into the Onboard web portal.
* To restrict access to domain users only, you edit this Pre-Auth service to use only the Active Directory auth source (and appropriate authorization checks, such as group membership).
Exam and configuration references for ClearPass Onboard clearly identify the Onboard Pre-Auth service as the place where you control who can log into the Onboard portal.
* Network Settings and Provisioning profiles in Onboard govern SSID, profiles, and device configuration, not portal user authentication.
* The 802.1X services for wireless control network access after onboarding, not login to the onboarding portal itself.
Therefore, to limit the portal to domain users, you should edit the ClearPass Onboard Service Pre-Auth service on CPPM # Option B.
NEW QUESTION # 77
Which use case is fulfilled by applying a time range to a firewall rule on an AOS device?
- A. Tuning the session timeout for sessions established with this rule
- B. Enforcing the rule only during the specified time range
- C. Locking clients that violate the rule for the specified time range
- D. Setting the time range over which hit counts for the rule are aggregated
Answer: B
Explanation:
Applying a time range to a firewall rule on an AOS device fulfills the use case of enforcing the rule only during the specified time range. This allows administrators to control when specific firewall rules are active, which can be useful for implementing policies that only need to be in effect during certain hours, such as blocking or allowing access to specific resources outside of business hours.
1.Time-Based Enforcement: The firewall rule will be active only during the specified time range, ensuring that the rule's policies are enforced only when needed.
2.Use Case: This feature is useful for scenarios like limiting access to certain applications or websites during working hours, or enabling enhanced security measures during off-hours.
3.Flexibility: Provides flexibility in security policy management by allowing dynamic adjustment of rules based on time schedules.
Reference: Aruba's AOS device documentation and firewall rule configuration guides detail how to apply time ranges to firewall rules for time-based policy enforcement.

NEW QUESTION # 80
You are setting up policy rules in HPE Aruba Networking SSE. You want to create a single rule that permits users in a particular user group to access multiple applications. What is an easy way to meet this need?
- A. Select the applications within a non-default web profile; select that profile in the policy rule.
- B. Place all the applications in the same connector zone; select that zone as a destination in the policy rule.
- C. Associate the applications directly with the IdP used to authenticate the users; choose any for the destination in the policy rule.
- D. Apply the same tag to the applications; select the tag as a destination in the policy rule.
Answer: D
Explanation:
* Tagging Applications: In HPE Aruba Networking SSE (Secure Service Edge), tagging is an efficient way to group multiple applications together for simplified management and rule creation.
* Tags can be applied to applications, and a single policy rule can be configured to use the tag as the destination.
* This eliminates the need to create multiple rules for each individual application, streamlining policy configuration.
* Option B: Correct. Applying the same tag to multiple applications allows you to select the tag as the destination in a single policy rule, meeting the requirement efficiently.
* Option A: Incorrect. Associating applications with the IdP and selecting "any" for the destination lacks granularity and security.
* Option C: Incorrect. Using connector zones is more appropriate for network-level segmentation rather than grouping application policies.
* Option D: Incorrect. Web profiles are generally used for web-based traffic policies, not for grouping applications in general.
NEW QUESTION # 81
A company uses HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Device Insight (CPDI) as the standalone application.
How does CPDI handle devices that it cannot classify with user rules, system rules, or MAC range classifiers?
- A. It marks the devices as generic and leaves them for admins to classify individually.
- B. It uses a machine learning method to cluster similar devices together.
- C. It uses API calls to query integrated applications for more information about the devices.
- D. It marks the devices as unknown and submits them to HPE Aruba Networking experts for classification.
Answer: B
Explanation:
When CPDI cannot classify devices using configured user rules, system rules, or MAC range classifiers, it can use machine learning to group similar devices into clusters. This clustering helps administrators manage unknown or generic endpoints more efficiently. Instead of leaving every unknown endpoint as an isolated device, CPDI compares behavior and attributes across devices to identify similarities and recommend possible classifications. HPE Aruba Networking's device-intelligence approach is built around improving visibility for difficult-to-identify IoT and unmanaged devices. CPDI does not automatically send every unknown device to Aruba experts, and it does not rely only on manual classification. API integrations can enrich device data, but the specific fallback behavior described here is machine-learning clustering.
NEW QUESTION # 82
A company has HPE Aruba Networking APs running AOS-10 that connect to AOS-CX switches. The APs will:
* Authenticate as 802.1X supplicants to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM)
* Be assigned to the "APs" role on the switches
* Have their traffic forwarded locally
What information do you need to help you determine the VLAN settings for the "APs" role?
- A. Whether the switches are using local user-roles (LURs) or downloadable user-roles (DURs).
- B. Whether the APs have static or DHCP-assigned IP addresses.
- C. Whether the APs bridge or tunnel traffic on their SSIDs.
- D. Whether the switches have established tunnels with an HPE Aruba Networking gateway.
Answer: C
Explanation:
* Traffic Forwarding for APs:
* In AOS-10, AP traffic forwarding can happen locally (bridged) or through tunnels to a gateway.
* The VLAN settings on the "APs" role depend on whether the APs bridge the SSID traffic locally or forward it through a tunnel.
* Option B: Correct. You need to know whether the traffic is bridged or tunneled to determine the VLAN assignments.
* Option A: Incorrect. LURs/DURs affect role assignment but not VLAN settings for traffic forwarding.
* Option C: Incorrect. Establishing tunnels with gateways is relevant to centralized traffic forwarding, not VLANs for bridged traffic.
* Option D: Incorrect. AP IP addressing (static or DHCP) does not impact the VLAN for forwarded SSID traffic.

NEW QUESTION # 84
An admin has configured an AOS-CX switch with these settings:
port-access role employees
vlan access name employees
This switch is also configured with CPPM as its RADIUS server.
Which enforcement profile should you configure on CPPM to work with this configuration?
- A. HPE Aruba Networking Downloadable Role Enforcement type with gateway role name set to
"employees" - B. HPE Aruba Networking Downloadable Role Enforcement type with role name set to "employees"
- C. RADIUS Enforcement type with Aruba-User-Role VSA set to "employees"
- D. RADIUS Enforcement type with HPE-User-Role VSA set to "employees"
Answer: C
Explanation:
To ensure that the AOS-CX switch properly assigns the "employees" role when using CPPM (ClearPass Policy Manager) as the RADIUS server, you should configure a RADIUS Enforcement profile on CPPM with the Aruba-User-Role VSA (Vendor-Specific Attribute) set to "employees". This configuration ensures that when an endpoint authenticates, CPPM sends the appropriate role assignment to the AOS-CX switch, which then applies the corresponding policies and VLAN settings defined for the "employees" role.
Reference: Aruba's ClearPass documentation and AOS-CX configuration guides detail the integration and configuration of RADIUS enforcement profiles using Aruba-User-Role VSAs for role-based access control.
NEW QUESTION # 85

NEW QUESTION # 86
What can help justify the extra cost of air monitors (AMs) to a company?
- A. AMs support tarpit containment, which introduces fewer legal issues than deauthentication containment.
- B. AMs can support wireless clients when they are not actively containing a device, so companies benefit from better security and connectivity.
- C. AMs can detect wireless threats much faster than hybrid APs, reducing the company's vulnerability surface.
- D. AMs support additional IDS/IPS features, such as malware and Trojan detection, to enhance overall security.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Dedicated air monitors are justified when a company wants faster and more complete wireless threat detection. Hybrid APs must divide radio time between serving clients and scanning the RF environment. Dedicated AMs focus on monitoring, which allows them to detect rogue APs, evil- twin behavior, unauthorized SSID use, ad hoc networks, and other wireless threats more quickly.
Faster detection reduces the time an attacker can operate unnoticed and lowers wireless exposure. AMs do not provide endpoint malware or Trojan detection in the same way an endpoint or gateway security engine does. They also do not serve wireless clients while operating as dedicated monitors. The clearest security justification is faster wireless threat detection compared with hybrid scanning.
NEW QUESTION # 87

"employees" - B. HPE Aruba Networking Downloadable Role Enforcement type with role name set to "employees"
- C. RADIUS Enforcement type with Aruba-User-Role VSA set to "employees"
- D. RADIUS Enforcement type with HPE-User-Role VSA set to "employees"
Answer: C
Explanation:
To ensure that the AOS-CX switch properly assigns the "employees" role when using CPPM (ClearPass Policy Manager) as the RADIUS server, you should configure a RADIUS Enforcement profile on CPPM with the Aruba-User-Role VSA (Vendor-Specific Attribute) set to "employees". This configuration ensures that when an endpoint authenticates, CPPM sends the appropriate role assignment to the AOS-CX switch, which then applies the corresponding policies and VLAN settings defined for the "employees" role.
NEW QUESTION # 88
