HP Aruba Certified Network Security Expert Written Sample Questions:
A company has an Aruba ClearPass server at 10.47.47.8, FQDN radius.acnsxtest.local. This exhibit shows ClearPass Policy Manager's (CPPM's) settings for an Aruba Mobility Controller (MC).
The MC is already configured with RADIUS authentication settings for CPPM, and RADIUS requests between the MC and CPPM are working. A network admin enters and commits this command to enable dynamic authorization on the MC:
aaa rfc-3576-server 10.47.47.8
But when CPPM sends CoA requests to the MC, they are not working. This exhibit shows the RFC 3576 server statistics on the MC:
How could you fix this issue?
- A. Change the UDP port in the MCs' RFC 3576 server config to 3799.
- B. Make sure that CPPM is using an ArubaOS Wireless RADIUS CoA enforcement profile.
- C. Enable RadSec on the MCs' RFC 3676 server config.
- D. Configure the MC to obtain the time from a valid NTP server.
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
Explanation: Only visible for GuideTorrent members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).
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. In CPPM's CA trust list, add the Aruba Infrastructure usage to the DigiCert certificate.
- B. Obtain a data collector token from Central's platform integration settings.
- C. Enable event processing on subscribers in the ClearPass cluster.
- D. Create an API application and token within the REST API settings.
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
Refer to the scenario.
A customer has asked you to review their AOS-CX switches for potential vulnerabilities. The configuration for these switches is shown below:
What is one recommendation to make?
- A. Encrypt the certificate in the TA-profile.
- B. Use MDS instead of SHA1 for the NTP authentication key.
- C. Let the RADIUS server confiqure VLANs on LAG 1 dynamically.
- D. Create a control plane ACL to limit the sources that can access the switch with SSH.
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
Explanation: Only visible for GuideTorrent members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).
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.
For which devices does CPPM require network device entries?
- A. For gateways' actual IP addresses and AP clusters' virtual IP addresses for dynamic authorization
- B. ForAP clusters'virtual IP addresses
- C. For APs' actual IP addresses
- D. Forgateways' actual IP addresses and dynamic authorization VRRP addresses
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
Explanation: Only visible for GuideTorrent members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).
What is a common characteristic of a beacon between a compromised device and a command and control server?
- A. Periodic transmission of small, identically sized packets
- B. Use of IPv6 addressing instead of IPv4 addressing
- C. Lack of encryption
- D. Use of less common protocols such as SNAP
