A company wants HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) to respond to Syslog messages from its Check Point firewall. You have added the firewall as an event source and set up an event service. However, test Syslog messages are not triggering the expected actions.
What is one CPPM setting that you should check?
- A . ClearPass Device Insight integration is disabled.
- B . The Check Point Extension is installed through ClearPass Guest.
- C . The CoA delay value is set to 0 on the server.
- D . Ingress Event Dictionaries for Check Point messages are enabled.
D
Explanation:
To ensure that HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) responds correctly to Syslog messages from a Check Point firewall, you need to check that the Ingress Event Dictionaries for Check Point messages are enabled. These dictionaries are necessary for CPPM to properly interpret and respond to the Syslog messages received from the firewall.
A company has HPE Aruba Networking APs (AOS-10), which authenticate clients to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). CPPM is set up to receive a variety of information about clients’ profile and posture. New information can mean that CPPM should change a client’s enforcement profile.
What should you set up on the APs to help the solution function correctly?
- A . In the security settings, configure dynamic denylisting.
- B . In the RADIUS server settings for CPPM, enable Dynamic Authorization.
- C . In the WLAN profiles, enable interim RADIUS accounting.
- D . In the RADIUS server settings for CPPM, enable querying the authentication status.
B
Explanation:
To ensure that HPE Aruba Networking APs (AOS-10) properly interact with HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) and dynamically update a client’s enforcement profile based on new profile and posture information, you should enable Dynamic Authorization in the RADIUS server settings for CPPM. This allows ClearPass to send Change of Authorization (CoA) requests to the APs, prompting them to reapply the appropriate enforcement profiles based on updated information.
A company has HPE Aruba Networking infrastructure devices. The devices authenticate clients to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). You want CPPM to track information about clients, such as their IP addresses and their network bandwidth utilization.
What should you set up on the network infrastructure devices to help that happen?
- A . Logging with CPPM configured as a Syslog server.
- B . Dynamic authorization enabled in the RADIUS settings for CPPM.
- C . RADIUS accounting to CPPM, including interim updates.
- D . An IF-MAP interface with CPPM as the destination.
C
Explanation:
RADIUS Accounting:
RADIUS accounting enables network devices to report client session details (e.g., IP addresses, session duration, bandwidth usage) to CPPM.
Interim updates ensure CPPM receives ongoing updates about the client’s session, enabling accurate tracking.
Option Analysis:
Option A: Incorrect. Syslog logging sends general system logs, not client session details.
Option B: Incorrect. Dynamic authorization (CoA) handles session changes but does not provide usage tracking.
Option C: Correct. RADIUS accounting with interim updates tracks client IP addresses and bandwidth utilization.
Option D: Incorrect. IF-MAP interfaces are used for metadata sharing, not for RADIUS-based tracking.
A company needs to enforce 802.1X authentication for its Windows domain computers to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). The company needs the computers to authenticate as both machines and users in the same session.
Which authentication method should you set up on CPPM?
- A . TEAP
- B . PEAP MSCHAPv2
- C . EAP-TTLS
- D . EAP-TLS
A
Explanation:
To enforce 802.1X authentication for Windows domain computers to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) and have the computers authenticate as both machines and users in the same session, you should set up TEAP (Tunneled EAP) as the authentication method. TEAP supports both machine and user authentication within a single 802.1X session, making it suitable for scenarios where both types of authentication are required simultaneously.
Reference: Aruba ClearPass configuration guides provide detailed instructions on setting up TEAP for environments requiring combined machine and user authentication.

A company has HPE Aruba Networking APs and AOS-CX switches, as well as HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass. The company wants CPPM to have HTTP User-Agent strings to use in profiling devices.
What can you do to support these requirements?
- A . Add the CPPM server’s IP address to the IP helper list in all client VLANs on routing switches.
- B . Schedule periodic subnet scans of all client subnets on CPPM.
- C . Configure mirror sessions on the APs and switches to copy client HTTP traffic to CPPM.
- D . On the APs and switches, configure a redirect to ClearPass Guest in the role for devices being profiled.
A
Explanation:
To support the requirement for HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) to have HTTP User-Agent strings for profiling devices, you should add the CPPM server’s IP address to the IP helper list in all client VLANs on routing switches. This configuration ensures that DHCP requests and other relevant client traffic are forwarded to CPPM, allowing it to capture HTTP User-Agent strings and use them for device profiling.

An AOS-CX switch has been configured to implement UBT to two HPE Aruba Networking gateways that implement VRRP on the users’ VLAN.
What correctly describes how the switch tunnels UBT users’ traffic to those gateways?
- A . The switch always sends the users’ traffic to the VRRP master.
- B . The switch always sends all users’ traffic to the primary gateway configured in the UBT zone.
- C . The switch always load shares the users’ traffic across both gateways.
- D . The switch always sends all users’ traffic to the gateway assigned as the active device designed gateway.
B
Explanation:
User-Based Tunneling (UBT) with VRRP:
UBT allows traffic from authenticated users to be tunneled to an HPE Aruba Networking gateway. In the case of VRRP, where two gateways are configured for redundancy, the AOS-CX switch will always send the traffic to the primary gateway defined in the UBT zone configuration.
The VRRP state (master/backup) does not impact the UBT decision; the UBT primary configuration
takes precedence.
Option Analysis:
Option A: Incorrect. UBT does not strictly follow the VRRP master; it adheres to the UBT primary gateway configuration.
Option B: Correct. The switch tunnels all traffic to the primary gateway configured in the UBT zone.
Option C: Incorrect. UBT does not load-share traffic between gateways.
Option D: Incorrect. UBT uses the primary gateway configured in the UBT zone, not dynamically determined active devices.
