You need to set up an HPE Aruba Networking VIA solution for a customer who needs to support 2100 remote employees. The customer wants employees to download their VIA connection profile from the VPNC. Only employees who authenticate with their domain credentials to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) should be able to download the profile. (A RADIUS server group for CPPM is already set up on the VPNC.) How do you configure the VPNC to enforce that requirement?
- A. Create a new VPN Authentication Profile and then reference CPPM's default server group in that profile.
- B. Reference CPPM's server group in an AAA profile; then, apply that profile to the VPNC's Internet-facing ports.
- C. Set up a VIA Authentication Profile that uses CPPM's server group; reference that profile in the VIA Connection Profile.
- D. Set up a VIA Authentication Profile that uses CPPM's server group; reference that profile in the VIA Web Authentication Profile.
Answer: D
Explanation:
To configure the HPE Aruba Networking VIA solution for remote employees who need to download their VIA connection profile from the VPN Concentrator (VPNC) and ensure that only those who authenticate with their domain credentials through ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) can do so, you need to set up a VIA Authentication Profile. This profile should use the CPPM's RADIUS server group. Once the VIA Authentication Profile is created, you need to reference this profile in the VIA Web Authentication Profile.
This configuration ensures that the authentication process requires employees to validate their credentials via CPPM before they can download the VIA connection profile.
NEW QUESTION # 54
You are helping an organization deploy HPE Aruba Networking SSE. What is one reason to recommend that the company install agents on remote users' devices?
- A. To permit admins to manage the HPE Aruba Networking SSE policy rules.
- B. To run threat inspection on clients in a local sandbox rather than in the cloud.
- C. To run posture checks and apply different permissions based on those checks.
- D. To permit users to access private servers using SSH.
Answer: C
Explanation:
* Installing Agents for SSE (Secure Service Edge):
* Agents installed on remote users' devices allow posture checks (e.g., antivirus status, OS version) to ensure compliance.
* Based on the results of the posture checks, different permissions and security policies can be applied dynamically.
* This improves the security posture of remote users before granting access to resources.
* Option A: Correct. Agents enable posture checks and enforce conditional access based on compliance.
* Option B: Incorrect. Admins manage SSE policies centrally, not via agents.
* Option C: Incorrect. Access to private servers via SSH does not require agents; it relies on policies and tunnels.
* Option D: Incorrect. Local sandboxing is generally a function of endpoint protection solutions, not SSE agents.
NEW QUESTION # 55
You have created this rule in an HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) service's enforcement policy: IF Authorization [Endpoints Repository] Conflict EQUALS true THEN apply "quarantine_profile" What information can help you determine whether you need to configure cluster-wide profiler parameters to ignore some conflicts?
- A. Whether the company has rare Internet of Things (loT) devices
- B. Whether some devices are incapable of captive portal or 802.1X authentication
- C. Whether some devices are running legacy operating systems
- D. Whether the company has devices that use PXE boot
Answer: D
Explanation:
When you have created a rule in a ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) service's enforcement policy to quarantine devices with endpoint conflicts, it is important to consider whether the company has devices that use PXE boot. PXE booting devices can create conflicts in the profiler because they may temporarily have different network attributes (e.g., MAC address or IP address) before fully booting and obtaining their final configuration. Understanding whether PXE boot is in use can help determine if profiler parameters need to be adjusted to ignore such temporary conflicts, ensuring that devices are not incorrectly quarantined.
NEW QUESTION # 56
You have enabled "rogue AP containment" in the Wireless IPS settings for a company's HPE Aruba Networking APs. What form of containment does HPE Aruba Networking recommend?
- A. Wired containment
- B. Wireless tarpit and wired containment
- C. Wireless tarpit only
- D. Wireless deauthentication only
Answer: D
Explanation:

* Tarpit Containment is more aggressive and may cause unintentional disruptions to legitimate clients.
* Wired Containment involves blocking traffic at the switch level but is complex and may impact legitimate infrastructure traffic.
* Option Analysis:
* Option A: Correct. Wireless deauthentication is the recommended method as it targets rogue AP clients without excessive network impact.
* Option B: Incorrect. Combining wireless tarpit and wired containment is overkill and not typically recommended.
* Option C: Incorrect. Wireless tarpit can be effective but is generally not the first choice due to its aggressive nature.
* Option D: Incorrect. Wired containment is more complex and reserved for specific use cases, not general recommendations.
NEW QUESTION # 57
You are setting up an HPE Aruba Networking VIA solution for a company. You need to configure access control policies for applications and resources that remote clients can access when connected to the VPN.
Where on the VPNC should you configure these policies?
- A. In the cloud security settings using IPsec maps
- B. In the roles to which VIA clients are assigned after IKE authentication
- C. In the roles to which VIA clients are assigned after VIA Web authentication
- D. In the tunneled network settings within the VIA Connection Profile
Answer: B
Explanation:
To configure access control policies for applications and resources that remote clients can access when connected to the VPN, you should configure these policies in the roles to which VIA clients are assigned after IKE (Internet Key Exchange) authentication on the VPNC. These roles define the permissions and access controls for the clients once they are authenticated, ensuring that they can only access the applications and resources allowed by their assigned roles.
1.IKE Authentication: After IKE authentication, clients are assigned specific roles that determine their access privileges.
2.Role-Based Access Control: By configuring access control policies within these roles, you can granularly control what resources and applications the remote clients can access over the VPN.
3.Security: This method ensures that access is managed securely and dynamically based on the role assigned to each client after successful authentication.
Reference: Aruba's VPN and VIA deployment guides provide detailed instructions on configuring roles and access control policies for remote VPN clients.

NEW QUESTION # 62
A company has HPE Aruba Networking APs and AOS-CX switches. The APs bridge wireless traffic. They receive DHCP IP addresses on VLAN 18. Wireless users are assigned to VLAN 12.
The company wants the APs to start using 802.1X authentication on their switch ports. You are configuring the port-access role to which the APs are assigned after authentication.
What is one recommended setting for that role?
- A. No trust for DSCP
- B. Auth-mode left at client-mode
- C. Trust for DSCP
- D. Access VLAN 18 with no support for VLAN 12
Answer: C
Explanation:
When a switch port connects to a wireless AP that bridges multiple client VLANs, best practice is to:
* Keep the VLAN/trunking configuration on the interface (not forced by the role), so that both VLAN 18 (AP management) and VLAN 12 (clients) are supported.
* Enable trust of DSCP on the AP uplink so that QoS markings from the AP (voice, real-time traffic) are honored end-to-end, instead of being remarked or reset at the switch. Aruba wired-access and campus deployment guides repeatedly recommend trusting DSCP on AP uplinks so that WMM/802.11e markings are preserved.
Option D ("Access VLAN 18 with no support for VLAN 12") would break the design because the AP needs to carry client VLAN 12 across its uplink. Option C (auth-mode client-mode) is about how many supplicants per port are authenticated; it is not the key "recommended" setting in this scenario, and Aruba designs typically focus QoS for AP uplinks via trust settings.
Therefore, the recommended role setting here is to trust DSCP on the AP's authenticated role # Option B.
NEW QUESTION # 63
A company has AOS-CX switches. The company wants to make it simpler and faster for admins to detect denial of service (DoS) attacks, such as ping or ARP floods, launched against the switches.
What can you do to support this use case?
- A. Enabling debugging of security functions on the switches.
- B. Configure the switches to implement RADIUS accounting to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass and enable HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Insight.
- C. Deploy an NAE agent on the switches to monitor control plane policing (CoPP).
- D. Implement ARP inspection on all VLANs that support end-user devices.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Why Monitoring Control Plane Policing (CoPP) with an NAE Agent Is Effective for Detecting DoS Attacks
* Control Plane Policing (CoPP): AOS-CX switches use CoPP to protect the CPU from excessive traffic caused by DoS attacks (e.g., ARP floods, ICMP floods). CoPP enforces rate limits and drops malicious traffic at the control plane level.
* NAE (Network Analytics Engine) Agent:
* The NAE on AOS-CX switches can monitor CoPP counters in real time and trigger alerts if thresholds for certain traffic types (e.g., ICMP, ARP) are exceeded.
* Admins can use NAE to automate detection and respond faster to DoS attacks.
Analysis of Each Option
A: Deploy an NAE agent on the switches to monitor control plane policing (CoPP):
* Correct:
* NAE agents provide real-time visibility into CoPP behavior, helping detect DoS attacks more quickly.
* By analyzing CoPP statistics, the NAE can pinpoint abnormal traffic patterns and alert admins.
* This is the most efficient and scalable solution for this use case.
B: Configure the switches to implement RADIUS accounting to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass and enable HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Insight:
* Incorrect:
* While ClearPass can provide visibility into user authentication and device activity, it is not specifically designed to detect or mitigate DoS attacks against switches.
C: Implement ARP inspection on all VLANs that support end-user devices:
* Incorrect:
* ARP inspection helps mitigate ARP spoofing or poisoning, but it does not directly address detection of DoS attacks like ICMP or ARP floods.
* It is a preventative measure, not a detection tool.
D: Enabling debugging of security functions on the switches:
* Incorrect:
* Debugging logs can help troubleshoot specific issues but are not practical for real-time detection of DoS attacks.
* Enabling debugging can overload the switch and is not suitable for proactive monitoring.
Final Recommendation
Deploying an NAE agent to monitor CoPP is the best solution because it provides real-time detection, alerting, and insights into traffic patterns that indicate DoS attacks.

Answer: D
Explanation:
When using HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Device Insight (CPDI) and you need to reclassify a device to a custom type and apply this classification to all devices with similar attributes, both already discovered and newly discovered, you should follow these steps:
1.Navigate to the device details in CPDI.
2.Select the option to reclassify the device.
3.Create a user rule based on the desired attributes of the device.
4.Choose the "Save & Reclassify" option.
This process ensures that the device is reclassified according to the new custom type and that the rule is applied to all existing and future devices with matching attributes, maintaining consistent classification across the network.
NEW QUESTION # 66
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 role name set to "employees"
- B. RADIUS Enforcement type with Aruba-User-Role VSA set to "employees"
- C. HPE Aruba Networking Downloadable Role Enforcement type with gateway role name set to
"employees" - D. RADIUS Enforcement type with HPE-User-Role VSA set to "employees"
Answer: B
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 # 67
A company wants HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) to periodically poll Microsoft Endpoint Manager (formerly Intune) for attributes about its managed clients.
What should you do on ClearPass to permit this integration?
- A. Install the Intune extension from ClearPass Guest
- B. Configure Endpoint Manager (Intune) as an event source on CPPM
- C. Import the Intune dictionary into the ClearPass dictionaries
- D. Create an Intune authentication source on CPPM
Answer: D
Explanation:
For ClearPass to periodically query Microsoft Intune / Endpoint Manager for device attributes (compliance, owner, OS, etc.), you must configure Intune as an authentication source in Policy Manager. The ClearPass- Intune integration is implemented through an API-based auth source which CPPM polls on a schedule; it is not done via Guest extensions or syslog/event sources.
Aruba's Intune integration guides describe configuring a "Microsoft Intune" (or "Endpoint Manager") authentication source in ClearPass and supplying the Azure app registration details so CPPM can poll Intune via Microsoft Graph.
* Option A is incorrect: the Intune integration is not a ClearPass Guest extension.
* Option B is insufficient: adding dictionaries only defines attributes; it does not enable scheduled polling.
* Option D is incorrect: Intune is not used as a syslog/event source for this use case; ClearPass initiates the polling via the authentication source.
Therefore, the correct configuration step is: Create an Intune authentication source on CPPM (Option C).

NEW QUESTION # 72
Refer to Exhibit:
An HPE Aruba Networking 9x00 gateway is part of an HPE Aruba Networking Central group that has the settings shown in the exhibit. What would cause the gateway to drop traffic as part of its IDPS settings?
- A. Its site-to-site VPN connections failing
- B. Traffic matching a rule in the active ruleset
- C. Its IDPS engine failing
- D. Traffic showing anomalous behavior
Answer: B
Explanation:
1. IDPS Mode Configuration Overview
The exhibit shows the HPE Aruba Networking Central settings for the Gateway IDS/IPS configuration:
* Mode: Configured for Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), meaning that the gateway actively blocks traffic identified as threats.
* Fail Strategy: Configured to Block, meaning that if the gateway cannot determine the traffic's nature due to a system issue, it will block the traffic.
* Ruleset: The gateway uses a predefined set of intrusion detection/prevention rules (ruleset version
9861), which is updated automatically every day.
2. Traffic Evaluation in IPS Mode
In IPS mode, the gateway analyzes traffic against the active ruleset:
* If traffic matches a rule in the ruleset and is deemed malicious, the gateway will drop the traffic as part of its prevention mechanism.
* The ruleset defines specific conditions (e.g., signatures of known attacks, protocol anomalies) under which traffic should be blocked.
3. Explanation of Each Option
* A. Its site-to-site VPN connections failing:
* Incorrect:
* Site-to-site VPN connection issues do not directly trigger traffic drops under IDPS settings.
* IDPS is focused on detecting and preventing malicious activity, not general connectivity issues.
* B. Traffic matching a rule in the active ruleset:
* Correct:
* In IPS mode, the gateway drops traffic that matches any predefined rules in the active ruleset.
* For example, if traffic matches the signature of a known exploit or attack, it is immediately blocked.
* C. Its IDPS engine failing:
* Incorrect:
* The fail strategy determines how the gateway behaves in the event of an IDPS engine failure.
* In this case, the fail strategy is set to Block, but this applies only if the engine itself fails, not as a proactive traffic drop mechanism.
* D. Traffic showing anomalous behavior:
* Incorrect:
* While anomalous behavior may be logged or flagged, it does not necessarily lead to traffic drops unless it matches a specific rule in the active ruleset.
* Anomaly detection alone is not sufficient for IPS action without explicit rule matches.
Final Outcome:
Traffic is dropped only when it matches a rule in the active ruleset, ensuring targeted prevention of malicious activity.
