NEW QUESTION # 20
Refer to the exhibit.
Which security issue is possibly indicated by this traffic capture?
- A. An attempt at a DoS attack by a device acting as an unauthorized DNS server
- B. A port scan being run on the 10.1.7.0/24 subnet
- C. A command and control channel established with DNS tunneling
- D. An ARP poisoning or man-in-the-middle attempt by the device at 94:60:d5:bf:36:40
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
DNS tunneling is a technique that abuses the DNS protocol to tunnel data or commands between a compromised host and an attacker's server. DNS tunneling can be used to establish a command and control channel, which allows the attacker to remotely control the malware or exfiltrate data from the infected host1 The traffic capture in the exhibit shows some signs of DNS tunneling. The source IP address is 10.1.7.2, which is likely an internal host behind a firewall. The destination IP address is 8.8.8.8, which is a public DNS resolver. The DNS queries are for subdomains of badsite.com, which is likely a malicious domain registered by the attacker. The subdomains have long and random names, such as
0x2a0x2a0x2a0x2a0x2a0x2a0x2a0x2a.badsite.com, which could be used to encode data or commands. The DNS responses have large sizes, such as 512 bytes, which could be used to carry data or commands back to the host2
NEW QUESTION # 21
A customer has an AOS 10-based mobility solution, which authenticates clients to Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). The customer has some wireless devices that support WPA2 in personal mode only.
How can you meet these devices' needs but improve security?
- A. Enable dynamic authorization (RFC 3576) in the AAA profile for the devices.
- B. Configure WIDS policies that apply extra monitoring to these particular devices.
- C. Use MPSK on the WLAN to which the devices connect.
- D. Connect these devices to the same WLAN to which 802.1X-capable clients connect, using MAC-Auth fallback.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
MPSK (Multi Pre-Shared Key) is a feature that allows assigning different pre-shared keys (PSKs) to different devices or groups of devices on the same WLAN. MPSK improves security over WPA2 in personal mode, which uses a single PSK for all devices on the WLAN. With MPSK, you can create and manage multiple PSKs, each with its own role, policy, and expiration date. You can also revoke or change a PSK for a specific device or group without affecting other devices on the WLAN. MPSK is compatible with devices that support WPA2 in personal mode only, as they do not need to support any additional protocols or certificates.
To use MPSK on the WLAN to which the devices connect, you need to enable MPSK in the WLAN settings and configure the PSKs in Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). You can find more information about how to configure MPSK in the [Configuring Multi Pre-Shared Key - Aruba] page and the [ClearPass Policy Manager User Guide] . The other options are not correct because they either do not improve security or are not applicable for devices that support WPA2 in personal mode only. For example, configuring WIDS policies that apply extra monitoring to these particular devices would not prevent them from being compromised or spoofed, but rather detect and mitigate potential attacks. Connecting these devices to the same WLAN to which 802.1X-capable clients connect, using MAC-Auth fallback, would not provide strong authentication or encryption, as MAC addresses can be easily spoofed or captured. Enabling dynamic authorization (RFC 3576) in the AAA profile for the devices would not affect the authentication process, but rather allow CPPM to change the attributes or status of a user session on the controller without requiring re-authentication.
NEW QUESTION # 22
Refer to the scenario.
An organization wants the AOS-CX switch to trigger an alert if its RADIUS server (cp.acnsxtest.local) rejects an unusual number of client authentication requests per hour. After some discussions with other Aruba admins, you are still not sure how many rejections are usual or unusual. You expect that the value could be different on each switch.
You are helping the developer understand how to develop an NAE script for this use case.
The developer explains that they plan to define the rule with logic like this:
monitor > value
However, the developer asks you what value to include.
What should you recommend?
- A. Defining a parameter and referring to it (self ^ramsfname]) for the value
- B. Checking one of the access switches' RADIUS statistics and adding 10 to the number listed for rejects
- C. Using 10 (per hour) as a good starting point for the value
- D. Defining a baseline and referring to it for the value
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
This is because a parameter is a variable that can be defined and modified by the user or the script, and can be used to customize the behavior and output of the NAE script. A parameter can be referred to by using the syntax self ^ramsfname], where ramsfname is the name of the parameter.
By defining a parameter for the value, the developer can make the NAE script more flexible and adaptable to different scenarios and switches. The parameter can be set to a default value, such as 10, but it can also be changed by the user or the script based on the network conditions and requirements. For example, the parameter can be adjusted dynamically based on the average or standard deviation of the number of rejects per hour, or based on the feedback from the user or other admins. This way, the NAE script can trigger an alert only when the number of rejects is truly unusual and not just arbitrary.
A: Checking one of the access switches' RADIUS statistics and adding 10 to the number listed for rejects. This is not a good recommendation because it does not account for the variability and diversity of the network environment and switches. The number of rejects listed for one switch might not be representative or relevant for another switch, as different switches might have different traffic patterns, client types, RADIUS configurations, etc. Moreover, adding 10 to the number of rejects is an arbitrary and fixed value that might not reflect the actual threshold for triggering an alert.
B: Defining a baseline and referring to it for the value. This is not a bad recommendation, but it is not as good as defining a parameter. A baseline is a reference point that represents the normal or expected state of a network metric or performance indicator. A baseline can be used to compare and contrast the current network situation and detect any anomalies or deviations. However, a baseline might not be easy or accurate to define, as it might require historical data, statistical analysis, or expert judgment. Moreover, a baseline might not be stable or constant, as it might change over time due to network growth, evolution, or optimization.
C: Using 10 (per hour) as a good starting point for the value. This is not a good recommendation because it is an arbitrary and fixed value that might not reflect the actual threshold for triggering an alert. Using 10 (per hour) as the value might result in false positives or false negatives, depending on the network conditions and switches. For example, if the normal number of rejects per hour is 5, then using 10 as the value might trigger an alert too frequently and unnecessarily. On the other hand, if the normal number of rejects per hour is 15, then using 10 as the value might miss some important alerts and risks.
NEW QUESTION # 23
Refer to the scenario.
A customer has an Aruba ClearPass cluster. The customer has AOS-CX switches that implement 802.1X authentication to ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM).
Switches are using local port-access policies.
The customer wants to start tunneling wired clients that pass user authentication only to an Aruba gateway cluster. The gateway cluster should assign these clients to the "eth-internet" role. The gateway should also handle assigning clients to their VLAN, which is VLAN 20.
The plan for the enforcement policy and profiles is shown below:
The gateway cluster has two gateways with these IP addresses:
* Gateway 1
o VLAN 4085 (system IP) = 10.20.4.21
o VLAN 20 (users) = 10.20.20.1
o VLAN 4094 (WAN) = 198.51.100.14
* Gateway 2
o VLAN 4085 (system IP) = 10.20.4.22
o VLAN 20 (users) = 10.20.20.2
o VLAN 4094 (WAN) = 198.51.100.12
* VRRP on VLAN 20 = 10.20.20.254
The customer requires high availability for the tunnels between the switches and the gateway cluster. If one gateway falls, the other gateway should take over its tunnels. Also, the switch should be able to discover the gateway cluster regardless of whether one of the gateways is in the cluster.
Assume that you are using the "myzone" name for the UBT zone.
Which is a valid minimal configuration for the AOS-CX port-access roles?
- A. port-access role eth-internet gateway-zone zone myzone gateway-role eth-user
- B. port-access role internet-only gateway-zone zone myzone gateway-role eth-internet
- C. port-access role eth-internet gateway-zone zone myzone gateway-role eth-internet vlan access 20
- D. port-access role internet-only gateway-zone zone myzone gateway-role eth-internet vlan access 20
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
The UBT solution requires that the edge ports on the switches are configured in VLAN trunk mode, not access mode. This is because the UBT solution uses a special VLAN (VLAN 4095 by default) to encapsulate the user traffic and tunnel it to the gateway. The edge ports need to allow this VLAN as well as any other VLANs that are used for management or control traffic. Therefore, the edge ports should be configured as VLAN trunk ports and allow the necessary VLANs1
NEW QUESTION # 24
Refer to the scenario.
A customer requires these rights for clients in the "medical-mobile" AOS firewall role on Aruba Mobility Controllers (MCs):
Permitted to receive IP addresses with DHCP
* Permitted access to DNS services from 10.8.9.7 and no other server
* Permitted access to all subnets in the 10.1.0.0/16 range except denied access to 10.1.12.0/22
* Denied access to other 10.0.0.0/8 subnets
* Permitted access to the Internet
* Denied access to the WLAN for a period of time if they send any SSH traffic
* Denied access to the WLAN for a period of time if they send any Telnet traffic
* Denied access to all high-risk websites
External devices should not be permitted to initiate sessions with "medical-mobile" clients, only send return traffic.
The line below shows the effective configuration for the role.
There are multiple issues with this configuration. What is one change you must make to meet the scenario requirements? (In the options, rules in a policy are referenced from top to bottom. For example,
"medical-mobile" rule 1 is "ipv4 any any svc-dhcp permit," and rule 6 is "ipv4 any any any permit'.)
- A. Apply the "apprf-medical-mobile-sjcT policy explicitly to the 'medical-mobile' user-role under the
'medical-mobile" policy. - B. In the "medical-mobile* policy, change the subnet mask in rule 5 to 255.255.252.0.
- C. In the "medical-mobile" policy, change the action for rules 2 and 3 to reject.
- D. In the "medical-mobile" policy, move rule 5 under rule 6.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
The scenario requires that the clients in the "medical-mobile" role are denied access to the 10.1.12.0/22 subnet, which is a range of IP addresses from 10.1.12.0 to 10.1.15.255. However, the current configuration in rule 5 has a subnet mask of 255.255.240.0, which means that it matches any IP address from 10.1.0.0 to
10.1.15.255. This is too broad and would deny access to other subnets in the 10.1.0.0/16 range that should be permitted according to the scenario. Therefore, the subnet mask in rule 5 should be changed to 255.255.252.0, which would match only the IP addresses from 10.1.12.0 to 10.1.15.255 and deny access to them as required by the scenario.1
NEW QUESTION # 25
Refer to the scenario.

You are setting up the UBT zone on an AOS-CX switch.
Which IP addresses should you define in the zone?
- A. Primary controller = 10.20.20.254; backup controller, not defined
- B. [Primary controller = 198.51.100.14; backup controller = 10.20.4.21
- C. Primary controller = 10.20.4.21; backup controller = 10.20.4.22
- D. Primary controller = 10 20 4 21: backup controller not defined
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
To configure user-based tunneling (UBT) on an AOS-CX switch, you need to specify the IP addresses of the mobility gateways that will receive the tunneled traffic from the switch 1. The primary controller is the preferred gateway for the switch to establish a tunnel, and the backup controller is the alternative gateway in case the primary controller fails or becomes unreachable 1. The IP addresses of the gateways should be their system IP addresses, which are used for inter-controller communication and cluster discovery 2.
In this scenario, the customer has a gateway cluster with two gateways, each with a system IP address on VLAN 4085. Therefore, the switch should use these system IP addresses as the primary and backup controllers for UBT. The IP addresses of the gateways on VLAN 20 and VLAN 4094 are not relevant for UBT, as they are used for user traffic and WAN connectivity, respectively 2. The VRRP IP address on VLAN 20 is also not applicable for UBT, as it is a virtual IP address that is not associated with any specific gateway 3.
Therefore, the best option is to use 10.20.4.21 as the primary controller and 10.20.4.22 as the backup controller for UBT on the switch. This will ensure high availability and cluster discovery for the tunneled traffic from the switch to the gateway cluster 12.
NEW QUESTION # 26
Refer to the scenario.
A customer has an AOS10 architecture that is managed by Aruba Central. Aruba infrastructure devices authenticate clients to an Aruba ClearPass cluster.
In Aruba Central, you are examining network traffic flows on a wireless IoT device that is categorized as
"Raspberry Pi" clients. You see SSH traffic. You then check several more wireless IoT clients and see that they are sending SSH also.
You want a relatively easy way to communicate the information that an IoT client has used SSH to Aruba CPPM.
What is one prerequisite?
- A. Enable event processing on subscribers in the ClearPass cluster.
- B. Obtain a data collector token from Central's platform integration settings.
- C. In CPPM's CA trust list, add the Aruba Infrastructure usage to the DigiCert certificate.
- D. Create an API application and token within the REST API settings.
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 27
Refer to the scenario.
A customer is using an AOS 10 architecture with Aruba APs and Aruba gateways (two per site). Admins have implemented auto-site clustering for gateways with the default gateway mode disabled. WLANs use tunneled mode to the gateways.
The WLAN security is WPA3-Enterprise with authentication to an Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) cluster VIP. RADIUS communications use RADIUS, not RadSec.
CPPM is using the service shown in the exhibits.
Which step can you take to improve operations during a possible gateway failover event?
- A. Use auto-group clustering instead of auto-site clustering for the gateways.
- B. Chanqe the WLANs to mixed-mode forwardinq so that vou can select multiple qatewav clusters.
- C. Enable default gateway mode for the gateway clusters.
- D. Set up qatewav clusters manually and set VRRP IP addresses for dynamic authorization.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
Auto-site clustering is a feature that allows gateways in the same site and group to form a cluster automatically. However, this mode does not support VRRP IP addresses, which are required for dynamic authorization (CoA) from ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) to the gateways. Dynamic authorization is a mechanism that allows CPPM to change the attributes or status of a client session on the gateways without requiring re-authentication. This is useful for applying policies, roles, or bandwidth limits based on various conditions. Without VRRP IP addresses, CPPM would not be able to send CoA messages to the correct gateway in case of a failover event, resulting in inconsistent or incorrect client behavior.
To enable VRRP IP addresses for dynamic authorization, you need to set up gateway clusters manually and assign a VRRP VLAN and a VRRP IP address to each cluster. This way, CPPM can use the VRRP IP address as the NAS IP address for RADIUS communications and CoA messages. The VRRP IP address will remain the same even if the active gateway in the cluster changes due to a failover event, ensuring seamless operations. You can find more information about how to set up gateway clusters manually and configure VRRP IP addresses in the Gateway Cluster Deployment - Aruba page and the ClearPass Policy Manager User Guide1.
NEW QUESTION # 28
Refer to the scenario.
# Introduction to the customer
You are helping a company add Aruba ClearPass to their network, which uses Aruba network infrastructure devices.
The company currently has a Windows domain and Windows CA. The Window CA issues certificates to domain computers, domain users, and servers such as domain controllers. An example of a certificate issued by the Windows CA is shown here.

The company is in the process of adding Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune) to manage its mobile clients.
The customer is maintaining the on-prem AD for now and uses Azure AD Connect to sync with Azure AD.
# Requirements for issuing certificates to mobile clients
The company wants to use ClearPass Onboard to deploy certificates automatically to mobile clients enrolled in Intune. During this process, Onboard should communicate with Azure AD to validate the clients. High availability should also be provided for this scenario; in other words, clients should be able to get certificates from Subscriber 2 if Subscriber 1 is down.
The Intune admins intend to create certificate profiles that include a UPN SAN with the UPN of the user who enrolled the device.
# Requirements for authenticating clients
The customer requires all types of clients to connect and authenticate on the same corporate SSID.
The company wants CPPM to use these authentication methods:
EAP-TLS to authenticate users on mobile clients registered in Intune
TEAR, with EAP-TLS as the inner method to authenticate Windows domain computers and the users on them To succeed, EAP-TLS (standalone or as a TEAP method) clients must meet these requirements:
Their certificate is valid and is not revoked, as validated by OCSP
The client's username matches an account in AD
# Requirements for assigning clients to roles
After authentication, the customer wants the CPPM to assign clients to ClearPass roles based on the following rules:
Clients with certificates issued by Onboard are assigned the "mobile-onboarded" role Clients that have passed TEAP Method 1 are assigned the "domain-computer" role Clients in the AD group "Medical" are assigned the "medical-staff" role Clients in the AD group "Reception" are assigned to the "reception-staff" role The customer requires CPPM to assign authenticated clients to AOS firewall roles as follows:
Assign medical staff on mobile-onboarded clients to the "medical-mobile" firewall role Assign other mobile-onboarded clients to the "mobile-other" firewall role Assign medical staff on domain computers to the "medical-domain" firewall role All reception staff on domain computers to the "reception-domain" firewall role All domain computers with no valid user logged in to the "computer-only" firewall role Deny other clients access
# Other requirements
Communications between ClearPass servers and on-prem AD domain controllers must be encrypted.
# Network topology
For the network infrastructure, this customer has Aruba APs and Aruba gateways, which are managed by Central. APs use tunneled WLANs, which tunnel traffic to the gateway cluster. The customer also has AOS-CX switches that are not managed by Central at this point.
# ClearPass cluster IP addressing and hostnames
A customer's ClearPass cluster has these IP addresses:
Publisher = 10.47.47.5
Subscriber 1 = 10.47.47.6
Subscriber 2 = 10.47.47.7
Virtual IP with Subscriber 1 and Subscriber 2 = 10.47.47.8
The customer's DNS server has these entries
cp.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.5
cps1.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.6
cps2.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.7
radius.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.8
onboard.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.8
You have imported the root certificate for the Windows CA to the ClearPass CA Trust list.
Which usages should you add to it based on the scenario requirements?
- A. EAP and AD/LDAP Server
- B. Radsec and Aruba infrastructure
- C. EAP and Radsec
- D. LDAP and Aruba infrastructure
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 29
You are setting up Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) to enforce EAP-TLS authentication with Active Directory as the authentication source. The company wants to prevent users with disabled accounts from connecting even if those users still have valid certificates.
As the first part of meeting these criteria, what should you do to enable CPPM to determine where accounts are enabled in AD or not?
- A. Enable OCSP in the EAP-TLS authentication method settings and configure an OCSP override to the domain controller FQDN.
- B. Install a Microsoft Active Directory extension in Aruba ClearPass Guest and set up an HTTP authentication source that points to that extension.
- C. Add a custom attribute for userAccountControl to the filters in the AD authentication source.
- D. Add an Endpoint Context Server to the domain controller with actions for querying the domain controller for account status.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
According to the ClearPass Policy Manager User Guide1, userAccountControl is a custom attribute in Active Directory that contains a set of flags that define the properties and behavior of user accounts. One of these flags is ACCOUNTDISABLE, which indicates whether the account is disabled or not. By adding this attribute to the filters in the AD authentication source, CPPM can retrieve this attribute for each user and use it as a condition in the enforcement policies to prevent users with disabled accounts from connecting even if they have valid certificates. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
NEW QUESTION # 30
Refer to the scenario.
A customer has an Aruba ClearPass cluster. The customer has AOS-CX switches that implement 802.1X authentication to ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM).
Switches are using local port-access policies.
The customer wants to start tunneling wired clients that pass user authentication only to an Aruba gateway cluster. The gateway cluster should assign these clients to the "eth-internet" role. The gateway should also handle assigning clients to their VLAN, which is VLAN 20.
The plan for the enforcement policy and profiles is shown below:

o VLAN 4085 (system IP) = 10.20.4.21
o VLAN 20 (users) = 10.20.20.1
o VLAN 4094 (WAN) = 198.51.100.14
* Gateway 2
o VLAN 4085 (system IP) = 10.20.4.22
o VLAN 20 (users) = 10.20.20.2
o VLAN 4094 (WAN) = 198.51.100.12
* VRRP on VLAN 20 = 10.20.20.254
The customer requires high availability for the tunnels between the switches and the gateway cluster. If one gateway falls, the other gateway should take over its tunnels. Also, the switch should be able to discover the gateway cluster regardless of whether one of the gateways is in the cluster.
Assume that you have configured the correct UBT zone and port-access role settings. However, the solution is not working.
What else should you make sure to do?
- A. Assign sufficient VIA licenses to the gateways based on the number of wired clients that will connect.
- B. Change the port-access auth-mode mode to client-mode on any edge ports to which tunneled clients might connect.
- C. Assign VLAN 20 as the access VLAN on any edge ports to which tunneled clients might connect.
- D. Create a new VLAN on the AOS-CX switch and configure that VLAN as the UBT client VLAN.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The correct answer is B. Create a new VLAN on the AOS-CX switch and configure that VLAN as the UBT client VLAN.
User-based tunneling (UBT) is a feature that allows the AOS-CX switches to tunnel the traffic from wired clients to a mobility gateway cluster, where they can be assigned a role and a VLAN based on their authentication and authorization 1. To enable UBT, the switches need to have a UBT zone configured with the IP addresses of the gateways, and a UBT client VLAN configured with the ubt-client-vlan command 2.
The UBT client VLAN is a special VLAN that is used to encapsulate the traffic from the tunneled clients before sending it to the gateways. The UBT client VLAN must be different from any other VLANs used on the switch or the network, and it must not be assigned to any ports or interfaces on the switch 2. The UBT client VLAN is only used internally by the switch for UBT, and it is not visible to the clients or the gateways.
In this scenario, the customer wants to tunnel the clients that pass user authentication to the gateway cluster, where they will be assigned to VLAN 20. Therefore, the switch must have a UBT client VLAN configured that is different from VLAN 20 or any other VLANs on the network. For example, the switch can use VLAN
4000 as the UBT client VLAN, as shown in one of the web search results 3. The switch must also have a UBT zone configured with the system IP addresses of the gateways as the primary and backup controllers, as explained in question 3.
The other options are not correct or relevant for this issue:
Option A is not correct because assigning VLAN 20 as the access VLAN on any edge ports to which tunneled clients might connect would conflict with UBT. The access VLAN is the VLAN that is assigned to untagged traffic on a port, and it is used for local switching on the switch 4. If VLAN 20 is assigned as the access VLAN, then the traffic from the clients will not be tunneled to the gateways, but rather switched locally on VLAN 20. This would defeat the purpose of UBT and cause inconsistency in role and VLAN assignment.
Option C is not correct because VIA licenses are not required for UBT. VIA licenses are required for enabling VPN services on Aruba Mobility Controllers for remote access clients using Aruba Virtual Intranet Access (VIA) software . VIA licenses are not related to UBT or wired clients.
Option D is not correct because changing the port-access auth-mode mode to client-mode on any edge ports to which tunneled clients might connect would not affect UBT. The port-access auth-mode mode determines how a port handles authentication requests from multiple clients connected to a single port .
Client-mode is the default mode that allows only one client per port, while multi-client-mode allows multiple clients per port. The port-access auth-mode mode does not affect how UBT works or how traffic is tunneled from a port.

NEW QUESTION # 32
A customer wants CPPM to authenticate non-802.1X-capable devices. An admin has created the service shown in the exhibits below:
What is one recommendation to improve security?
- A. Creating and using a custom MAC-Auth authentication method
- B. Adding an enforcement policy rule that denies access to endpoints with the Conflict flaq
- C. Using Active Directory as the authentication source
- D. Enabling caching of posture and roles
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) is a technique that allows non-802.1X-capable devices to bypass the
802.1X authentication process and gain network access based on their MAC addresses. However, MAB has some security drawbacks, such as the possibility of MAC address spoofing or unauthorized devices being added to the network. Therefore, it is recommended to use a custom MAC-Auth authentication method that adds an additional layer of security to MAB.
A custom MAC-Auth authentication method is a method that uses a combination of the MAC address and another attribute, such as a username, password, or certificate, to authenticate the device. This way, the device needs to provide both the MAC address and the additional attribute to gain access, making it harder for an attacker to spoof or impersonate the device. A custom MAC-Auth authentication method can be created and configured in ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) by following the steps in the Customizing MAC Authentication - Aruba page.

# Introduction to the customer
You are helping a company add Aruba ClearPass to their network, which uses Aruba network infrastructure devices.
The company currently has a Windows domain and Windows CA. The Window CA issues certificates to domain computers, domain users, and servers such as domain controllers. An example of a certificate issued by the Windows CA is shown here.

The company is in the process of adding Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune) to manage its mobile clients.
The customer is maintaining the on-prem AD for now and uses Azure AD Connect to sync with Azure AD.
# Requirements for issuing certificates to mobile clients
The company wants to use ClearPass Onboard to deploy certificates automatically to mobile clients enrolled in Intune. During this process, Onboard should communicate with Azure AD to validate the clients. High availability should also be provided for this scenario; in other words, clients should be able to get certificates from Subscriber 2 if Subscriber 1 is down.
The Intune admins intend to create certificate profiles that include a UPN SAN with the UPN of the user who enrolled the device.
# Requirements for authenticating clients
The customer requires all types of clients to connect and authenticate on the same corporate SSID.
The company wants CPPM to use these authentication methods:
EAP-TLS to authenticate users on mobile clients registered in Intune
TEAR, with EAP-TLS as the inner method to authenticate Windows domain computers and the users on them To succeed, EAP-TLS (standalone or as a TEAP method) clients must meet these requirements:
Their certificate is valid and is not revoked, as validated by OCSP
The client's username matches an account in AD
# Requirements for assigning clients to roles
After authentication, the customer wants the CPPM to assign clients to ClearPass roles based on the following rules:
Clients with certificates issued by Onboard are assigned the "mobile-onboarded" role Clients that have passed TEAP Method 1 are assigned the "domain-computer" role Clients in the AD group "Medical" are assigned the "medical-staff" role Clients in the AD group "Reception" are assigned to the "reception-staff" role The customer requires CPPM to assign authenticated clients to AOS firewall roles as follows:
Assign medical staff on mobile-onboarded clients to the "medical-mobile" firewall role Assign other mobile-onboarded clients to the "mobile-other" firewall role Assign medical staff on domain computers to the "medical-domain" firewall role All reception staff on domain computers to the "reception-domain" firewall role All domain computers with no valid user logged in to the "computer-only" firewall role Deny other clients access
# Other requirements
Communications between ClearPass servers and on-prem AD domain controllers must be encrypted.
# Network topology
For the network infrastructure, this customer has Aruba APs and Aruba gateways, which are managed by Central. APs use tunneled WLANs, which tunnel traffic to the gateway cluster. The customer also has AOS-CX switches that are not managed by Central at this point.
# ClearPass cluster IP addressing and hostnames
A customer's ClearPass cluster has these IP addresses:
Publisher = 10.47.47.5
Subscriber 1 = 10.47.47.6
Subscriber 2 = 10.47.47.7
Virtual IP with Subscriber 1 and Subscriber 2 = 10.47.47.8
The customer's DNS server has these entries
cp.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.5
cps1.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.6
cps2.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.7
radius.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.8
onboard.acnsxtest.com = 10.47.47.8
You cannot see flow attributes for wireless clients.
What should you check?
- A. Deep packet inspection is enabled on the role to which the Aruba APs assign the wireless clients.
- B. Gateway IDS/IPS is enabled on the Aruba gateways, and the gateways have been rebooted.
- C. Firewall application visibility is enabled on the Aruba gateways, and the gateways have been rebooted.
- D. Deep packet inspection is enabled on the Aruba Aps, and the APs have been rebooted.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 36
Refer to the scenario.
A customer has an Aruba ClearPass cluster. The customer has AOS-CX switches that implement 802.1X authentication to ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM).
Switches are using local port-access policies.
The customer wants to start tunneling wired clients that pass user authentication only to an Aruba gateway cluster. The gateway cluster should assign these clients to the "eth-internet" role. The gateway should also handle assigning clients to their VLAN, which is VLAN 20.
The plan for the enforcement policy and profiles is shown below:
The gateway cluster has two gateways with these IP addresses:
* Gateway 1
o VLAN 4085 (system IP) = 10.20.4.21
o VLAN 20 (users) = 10.20.20.1
o VLAN 4094 (WAN) = 198.51.100.14
* Gateway 2
o VLAN 4085 (system IP) = 10.20.4.22
o VLAN 20 (users) = 10.20.20.2
o VLAN 4094 (WAN) = 198.51.100.12
* VRRP on VLAN 20 = 10.20.20.254
The customer requires high availability for the tunnels between the switches and the gateway cluster. If one gateway falls, the other gateway should take over its tunnels. Also, the switch should be able to discover the gateway cluster regardless of whether one of the gateways is in the cluster.
Assume that you are using the "myzone" name for the UBT zone.
Which is a valid minimal configuration for the AOS-CX port-access roles?
- A. port-access role eth-internet gateway-zone zone myzone gateway-role eth-user
- B. port-access role internet-only gateway-zone zone myzone gateway-role eth-internet
- C. port-access role eth-internet gateway-zone zone myzone gateway-role eth-internet vlan access 20
- D. port-access role internet-only gateway-zone zone myzone gateway-role eth-internet vlan access 20
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 37
Refer to the scenario.
This customer is enforcing 802.1X on AOS-CX switches to Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). The customer wants switches to download role settings from CPPM. The "reception-domain" role must have these settings:
- Assigns clients to VLAN 14 on switch 1, VLAN 24 on switch 2, and so on.
- Filters client traffic as follows:
- Clients are permitted full access to 10.1.5.0/24 and the Internet
- Clients are denied access to 10.1.0.0/16
The switch topology is shown here:
How should you configure the VLAN setting for the reception role?
- A. Assign a number-based ID to the access layer switches. Then use this variable in the enforcement profile VLAN settings: %(NAS-ID]4.
- B. Create a separate enforcement profile with a different VLAN ID for each switch. Add all profiles to the profile list in the appropriate enforcement policy rule.
- C. Assign a consistent name to VLAN 14, 24, or 34 on each access layer switch and reference that name in the enforcement profile VLAN settings.
- D. Configure the enforcement profile as a downloadable role, but specify only the role name and leave the VLAN undefined. Then define a 'reception' role with the correct VLAN setting on each individual access layer switch.
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 38
You are configuring gateway IDS/IPS settings in Aruba Central.
For which reason would you set the Fail Strategy to Bypass?
- A. To enable the gateway to honor the allowlist settings configured in IDS/IPS policies
- B. To avoid wasting IPS engine resources on filtering traffic for unauthenticated clients
- C. To tell gateways to stop enforcing IDS/IPS policies if they lose connectivity to the Internet
- D. To permit traffic if the IPS engine falls to inspect It
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 39
When would you implement BPDU protection on an AOS-CX switch port versus BPDU filtering?
- A. Use BPDU protection on edge ports to permanently lock out rogue devices; use BPDU filtering on edge ports to temporarily lock out rogue devices.
- B. Use BPDU protection on edge ports to prevent rogue devices from connecting; use BPDU filtering on inter-switch ports for specialized use cases.
- C. Use BPDU protection on edge ports to protect against rogue devices when the switch implements MSTP; use BPDU filtering to protect against rogue devices when the switch implements PVSTP+.
- D. Use BPDU protection on inter-switch ports to ensure that they are selected as root; use BPDU filtering on edge ports to prevent rogue devices from connecting.
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 40
A customer has an AOS 10-based mobility solution, which authenticates clients to Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). The customer has some wireless devices that support WPA2 in personal mode only.
How can you meet these devices' needs but improve security?
- A. Enable dynamic authorization (RFC 3576) in the AAA profile for the devices.
- B. Configure WIDS policies that apply extra monitoring to these particular devices.
- C. Use MPSK on the WLAN to which the devices connect.
- D. Connect these devices to the same WLAN to which 802.1X-capable clients connect, using MAC-Auth fallback.
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 41
Refer to the scenario.
A customer is migrating from on-prem AD to Azure AD as its sole domain solution. The customer also manages both wired and wireless devices with Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune).
The customer wants to improve security for the network edge. You are helping the customer design a ClearPass deployment for this purpose. Aruba network devices will authenticate wireless and wired clients to an Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) cluster (which uses version 6.10).
The customer has several requirements for authentication. The clients should only pass EAP-TLS authentication if a query to Azure AD shows that they have accounts in Azure AD. To further refine the clients' privileges, ClearPass also should use information collected by Intune to make access control decisions.
You are planning to use Azure AD as the authentication source in 802.1X services.
What should you make sure that the customer understands is required?
- A. Azure AD Domain Services
- B. An app registration on Azure AD that references the CPPM's FQDN
- C. Windows 365 subscriptions
- D. CPPM's RADIUS certificate was imported as trusted in the Azure AD directory
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
To use Azure AD as the authentication source in 802.1X services, you need to configure CPPM as a SAML service provider and Azure AD as a SAML identity provider. This allows CPPM to use Azure AD for user authentication and role mapping. To do this, you need to create an app registration on Azure AD that references the CPPM's FQDN as the reply URL and the entity ID. You also need to grant the app registration the required permissions to access user information from Azure AD1
