Question 1

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?

Answer Options
Correct Answer: B
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

Question 2

Refer to the scenario.

A customer requires these rights for clients in the ''medical-mobile'' AOS firewall role on Aruba Mobility Controllers (MCs):

External devices should not be permitted to initiate sessions with ''medical-mobile'' clients, only send return traffic.

The exhibits below show the 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 8 is ''ipv4 any any any permit''.)

Answer Options
Correct Answer: B
Explanation

The subnet mask in rule 3 of the ''medical-mobile'' policy is currently 255.255.252.0, which means that the rule denies access to the 10.1.12.0/22 subnet as well as the adjacent 10.1.16.0/22 subnet1. This is not consistent with the scenario requirements, which state that only the 10.1.12.0/22 subnet should be denied access, while the rest of the 10.1.0.0/16 range should be permitted access.

To fix this issue, the subnet mask in rule 3 should be changed to 255.255.248.0, which means that the rule only denies access to the 10.1.8.0/21 subnet, which includes the 10.1.12.0/22 subnet1. This way, the rule matches the scenario requirements more precisely.

Question 3

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.

Assume that the Azure AD deployment has the proper prerequisites established.

You are planning the CPPM authentication source that you will reference as the authentication source in 802.1X services.

How should you set up this authentication source?

Answer Options
Correct Answer: D
Explanation

An authentication source is a configuration element in CPPM that defines how to connect to an external identity provider and retrieve user or device information . CPPM supports various types of authentication sources, such as Active Directory, LDAP, SQL, Kerberos, and HTTP .

To authenticate wireless and wired clients to Azure AD, you need to set up an authentication source as HTTP type, referencing Azure AD's FQDN . This type of authentication source allows CPPM to use REST API calls to communicate with Azure AD and validate the user or device credentials . You also need to configure the OAuth 2.0 settings for the authentication source, such as the client ID, client secret, token URL, and resource URL .

To use information collected by Intune to make access control decisions, you need to set up another authentication source as HTTP type, referencing the Intune extension . This type of authentication source allows CPPM to use REST API calls to communicate with Intune and retrieve the device compliance status . You also need to configure the OAuth 2.0 settings for the authentication source, such as the client ID, client secret, token URL, and resource URL .

Question 4

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.

You are setting up the UBT zone on an AOS-CX switch.

Which IP addresses should you define in the zone?

Answer Options
Correct Answer: A
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 switch1.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 unreachable1.The IP addresses of the gateways should be their system IP addresses, which are used for inter-controller communication and cluster discovery2.

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, respectively2.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 gateway3.

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 cluster12.

Question 5

You are designing an Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) solution for a customer. You learn that the customer has a Palo Alto firewall that filters traffic between clients in the campus and the data center.

Which integration can you suggest?

Answer Options
Correct Answer: A
Explanation

This option allows CPPM to receive real-time information about the network activity and security posture of the clients from the firewall, and then apply appropriate enforcement actions based on the configured policies12.For example, if a client is detected to be infected with malware or violating the network usage policy, CPPM can quarantine or disconnect the client from the network2.
