Question No. 1

Refer to the exhibit.

A customer requires protection against ARP poisoning in VLAN 4. Below are listed all settings for VLAN 4 and the VLAN 4 associated physical interfaces on the AOS-CX access layer switch:

What is one issue with this configuration?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: D

This is because ARP inspection is a security feature that validates ARP packets in a network and prevents ARP poisoning attacks12ARP inspection works by intercepting, logging, and discarding ARP packets with invalid IP-to-MAC address bindings1To enable ARP inspection, the switch needs to know which ports are trusted and which are untrusted. Trusted ports are those that connect to authorized DHCP servers or other network devices that are not vulnerable to ARP spoofing.Untrusted ports are those that connect to end hosts or devices that might send forged ARP packets13

In the exhibit, LAG 1 is configured as a trusted port for ARP inspection, which is correct because it connects to the core switch. However, the edge ports (1/1/1-1/1/24) are not configured as untrusted ports for ARP inspection, which is incorrect because they connect to end hosts that might be compromised by an attacker. By default, all ports are untrusted for ARP inspection, but this can be changed by using the commandip arp inspection truston the interface configuration mode3Therefore, to protect VLAN 4 against ARP poisoning, the edge ports should be configured as untrusted for ARP inspection by using the commandno ip arp inspection truston the interface configuration mode.This way, the switch will validate the ARP packets received on these ports against the DHCP snooping database or an ARP access-list and drop any invalid packets34

A) ARP proxy is not enabled on VLAN 4.This is not an issue because ARP proxy is an optional feature that allows the switch to respond to ARP requests on behalf of hosts in different subnets5It is not related to ARP poisoning or ARP inspection.

B) LAG 1 is configured as trusted for ARP inspection but should be untrusted. This is not an issue because LAG 1 connects to the core switch, which is a trusted device that does not send forged ARP packets.

C) DHCP snooping is not enabled on VLAN 4.This is not an issue because DHCP snooping is a separate feature that prevents rogue DHCP servers from offering IP addresses to clients6It is not directly related to ARP poisoning or ARP inspection, although it can provide information for ARP inspection validation if enabled


Question No. 2

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.

Question No. 3

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?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

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.


Question No. 4

Refer to the scenario.

A hospital has an AOS10 architecture that is managed by Aruba Central. The customer has deployed a pair of Aruba 9000 Series gateways with Security licenses at each clinic. The gateways implement IDS/IPS in IDS mode.

The Security Dashboard shows these several recent events with the same signature, as shown below:

Which step could give you valuable context about the incident?

Question No. 5

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.

The customer wants you to configure CPPM to collect information from Intune on demand during the authentication process.

What should you tell the Intune admins about the certificates issued to clients?
