HPE7-A02 sample questions

Question 1

A security administrator is integrating ClearPass Device Insight (CPDI) with ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). The goal is to quarantine IoT devices that start exhibiting anomalous traffic patterns, such as a thermostat attempting to communicate with an external FTP server. What is the correct workflow to automate this response?

Accepted Answer

CPDI detects the flow, applies a specific Tag to the device; CPPM polls CPDI for tags and triggers a CoA based on a policy matching that Tag.

Answer

CPPM Ingress Event Engine reads the traffic flow directly and applies an enforcement profile.

Answer

The Aruba Gateway blocks the traffic via Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and sends an SNMP trap to CPDI.

Answer

CPDI sends a Syslog message to the AOS-CX switch, which applies a local ACL to the port.

Question 2

Which of the following methods are considered 'Active' profiling techniques used by ClearPass to classify endpoints? (Select TWO)

Accepted Answer

WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) Scan

Accepted Answer

SNMP Query

Answer

HTTP User-Agent Analysis

Answer

MAC OUI Lookup

Answer

DHCP Fingerprinting

Question 3

A network consultant is mapping HPE Aruba Networking solutions to the 'Defense-in-Depth' security model. Which component is primarily responsible for the 'Network Access Control' layer, ensuring that only authenticated and compliant devices can connect to the network infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM)

Answer

Aruba Central

Answer

ClearPass Device Insight (CPDI)

Answer

Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF)

Question 4

In the context of HPE Aruba Networking's Zero Trust Security framework, what is the primary role of 'Dynamic Segmentation'?

Accepted Answer

To unify policy enforcement by tunneling traffic from access switches to a gateway, eliminating VLAN sprawl and ensuring consistent security policies.

Answer

To automatically assign static IP addresses to devices based on their MAC OUI.

Answer

To dynamically change the WPA3 encryption key every 60 minutes.

Answer

To segment the management plane traffic from the data plane traffic using VRFs.

Question 5

True or False: A Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) is capable of automatically performing deauthentication attacks to contain a Rogue AP.

Accepted Answer

False

Answer

True

Question 6

A network administrator is configuring Syslog on an AOS-CX switch to forward logs to ClearPass. The administrator wants to ensure that all 'Critical' system events are sent, but 'Informational' events are excluded to save bandwidth. Which severity level should be configured?

Accepted Answer

Severity 2 (Critical)

Answer

Severity 6 (Informational)

Answer

Severity 5 (Notice)

Answer

Severity 7 (Debug)
