Free HP HPE7-A10 Real Questions (page: 1)

A client is connected to an AOS-CX switch, which tunnels the client's traffic to an AOS-10 gateway. The gateway assigns the client to a role with these rules: any any svc-dhcp permit user alias hostl svc-dns permit user alias net1 svc-https permit user alias net2 tcp 8086 permit user alias net3 any deny user alias net4 svc-https permit The gateway has these aliases defined: - host1 = 10.0.6.8 - net1 = 10.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 - net2 = 10.0.3.0 255.255.255.0 - net3 = 10.0.0.0 255.255.248.0 - net4 = 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 The client sends two packets: - 1: tcp 8086 to 10.0.3.75 - 2: https to 10.0.7.24 What happens?

  1. Both are denied.
  2. Both are permitted.
  3. The first is denied, and the second is permitted.
  4. The first is permitted, and the second is denied.

Answer(s): D



You are designing an AOS-10 architecture and ClearPass solution for a manufacturing company. The company that has legacy equipment that is only WPA2 capable. You need to enhance security for these devices. This equipment will connect to an SSID named "Factory." If the equipment passes authentication and receives custom Device Category "Manufacturing," it should receive this AOS user role: "equipment." That role and a "profiling" role for unprofiled devices are already configured on the AOS devices. The users responsible for configuring PSKs on the equipment belong to the "FactoryAdmins" group in the company's Active Directory domain. CPPM has an authentication source for that domain named MyAD. As part of the solution, you have created these services on CPPM: - Service 1: - Type: Application - Authentication source: MyAD - Authorization source: None - Enforcement policy: - Rule 1 condition: Authorization:Endpoints Repository:Category EQUALS Manufacturing - Rule 1 profile list: Enforcement profiles that permit application access and assign the Guest Operators role - Default action: Deny access - Service 2 - Type: Wireless with mPSK - Authentication source: Guest Devices Repository - Authorization source: None - Enforcement policy: - Rule 1 condition: Endpoint Device Insight Tag EQUALS Manufacturing - Rule 1 profile list: Enforcement profile that assigns Aruba-User-Role = equipment and [Registered Device MPSK] profile - Rule 2 condition: Endpoint:Device Insight Tag NOT_EXISTS - Rule 2 profile list: Enforcement profile that assigns Aruba-User-Role = profiling and [Registered Device MPSK] profile - Default action: Deny access What is an error in this configuration?

  1. Service 2 requires the Endpoints Repository as an authorization source and adjustments to the enforcement policy.
  2. Service 1 uses the wrong service type.
  3. Service 2 uses the wrong authentication source.
  4. Service 2 is missing a necessary rule in the enforcement policy.

Answer(s): A



Introduction to the customer:
You are helping a company add HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass to their network, which uses HPE Aruba Networking 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.

• 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

What change will help to meet those requirements and the requirements for authenticating clients?

  1. Change the EST authentication method to use an external validator.
  2. Change the EST Digest Algorithm to SHA-512.
  3. Recreate the CA as a registration authority under Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD).

However, a penetration tester was able to access the network with medical staff privileges on a client with a valid computer certificate but revoked medical user certificate. In this circumstance, the customer wants the client to receive computer-only access.
What can you do to correct this issue while still meeting the other customer requirements?

  1. Add a role mapping rule that assigns clients that have failed TEAP Method 2 to a "user-failed" role. Add an enforcement policy rule to the top of the list that assigns clients with the "domain-computer" and "user-failed" roles to the "computer-only" profile.
  2. Check the order of the enforcement policy rules. Make sure that any rule that applies the "computer-only" profile is at the top of the list. Also, ensure that the default rule is the drop access profile.
  3. Change the authentication method configuration to use CRLs to validate certificates' status instead of OCSP.
  4. Adjust the authentication filter used in the authentication source. Change any references to the % Username variable to the % TEAP-Method-2-Username variable.

What are the prerequisites for fulfilling this requirement?

  1. Setting up traffic classes and role mapping rules within HPE Aruba Networking Central's global settings
  2. Creating a tag on HPE Aruba Networking Central to select the proper destination connection and integrating CPPM with Device Insight
  3. Creating server-based role assignment rules on APs that apply roles to clients based on traffic destinations

  2. cps2.acnsxtest.com
  3. cps1.acnsxtest.com

Question 6:
Correct answer: A — Move rule 1 to the bottom of the list.
I can’t see the role-mapping exhibit itself, but the key concept is ClearPass role-mapping rule order. Rules are evaluated from top to bottom, and a broad rule placed first can match a certificate before a more specific rule gets a chance to assign the intended role.
Typically:

  • Specific certificate conditions should be evaluated first.
  • Broad or catch-all conditions should be placed later.
  • The default role should handle clients that match none of the intended rules.

Therefore, moving rule 1 to the bottom prevents it from overriding the more specific mappings, such as the mapping for mobile-onboarded devices.
The other options do not address rule precedence:
  • Changing the default role does not correct an earlier match.
  • Issuer-CN versus Subject-CN depends on the certificate design and cannot be changed without the exhibit.
  • Selecting all matches could assign multiple roles and may create conflicting results.

The answer key’s A is consistent with normal ClearPass role-mapping precedence.

Question 4:
Correct answer: D — Specify an OCSP responder and set the hostname to localhost.
The question describes creating a ClearPass local CA to issue certificates to mobile clients. Those certificates must also be usable for client authentication, which requires a revocation-checking mechanism.

  • OCSP allows ClearPass to check whether an issued client certificate has been revoked.
  • For certificates issued by a local ClearPass CA, the OCSP responder is hosted on the ClearPass server itself, so the responder hostname should be localhost.
  • This lets ClearPass include the appropriate OCSP information in issued certificates and validate certificate status during authentication.

Why the other choices are incorrect:
  • External validator for EST: relates to validating EST enrollment requests, not the required certificate-status responder.
  • SHA-512: changes the digest algorithm but does not provide revocation checking.
  • Microsoft Entra ID registration authority: is unrelated to the described on-premises ClearPass CA design.

The answer key’s D is consistent with the ClearPass CA and certificate-authentication requirements.
