HPE7-A02 Practice Test

Explanation:

After installing an HPE Aruba Networking Network Analytic Engine (NAE) script on an AOS-CX switch, the additional step required to start the monitoring is to create an agent from the script. The agent is responsible for executing the script and collecting the monitoring data as defined by the script parameters.

1.Script Installation: Installing the script provides the logic and parameters for monitoring.
2.Agent Creation: Creating an agent from the script activates the monitoring process, allowing the NAE to begin tracking the specified function.
3.Operational Step: This step ensures that the monitoring logic is applied and the data collection starts as per the script’s configuration.
[Reference: Aruba AOS-CX documentation and Network Analytics Engine guides outline the process of script installation and the necessity of creating an agent to activate monitoring., , ]

Explanation:

The benefit of the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) is that it allows a device to query whether a single certificate is revoked or not. OCSP provides a real-time mechanism for checking the revocation status of an individual certificate, enabling devices to verify the validity of certificates quickly and efficiently.

1.Certificate Status Query: OCSP enables devices to send a query to an OCSP responder to check the revocation status of a specific certificate.
2.Real-Time Verification: This protocol offers real-time responses, ensuring that the most up-to-date status of the certificate is obtained.
3.Efficiency: OCSP is more efficient than downloading an entire Certificate Revocation List (CRL), as it only queries the status of one certificate at a time.
[Reference: Documentation on certificate management and OCSP describes how OCSP works and its advantages in providing real-time certificate status checks compared to traditional CRLs., ]

Explanation:

To ensure that the AOS-CX switch properly assigns the "employees" role when using CPPM (ClearPass Policy Manager) as the RADIUS server, you should configure a RADIUS Enforcement profile on CPPM with the Aruba-User-Role VSA (Vendor-Specific Attribute) set to "employees". This configuration ensures that when an endpoint authenticates, CPPM sends the appropriate role assignment to the AOS-CX switch, which then applies the corresponding policies and VLAN settings defined for the "employees" role.

[Reference: Aruba's ClearPass documentation and AOS-CX configuration guides detail the integration and configuration of RADIUS enforcement profiles using Aruba-User-Role VSAs for role-based access control., , , ]

Explanation:

When creating a rule in an HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) role mapping policy that references a ClearPass Device Insight Tag, you should specify the "Endpoint" Type (namespace) for the rule. This ensures that the policy can properly reference and utilize the tags assigned to endpoints by ClearPass Device Insight for making role mapping decisions.

1.Endpoint Tags: ClearPass Device Insight assigns tags to endpoints based on their characteristics and behaviors. These tags are stored in the "Endpoint" namespace.

2.Role Mapping: By referencing the "Endpoint" type, the rule can accurately match endpoints with the specified tags and apply the appropriate role mappings based on the device's profile.

3.Policy Consistency: Ensuring that the correct namespace is used maintains consistency and accuracy in role assignment policies.

[Reference: ClearPass documentation and role mapping policy guides provide details on using Device Insight tags and the appropriate namespaces for creating effective policy rules., , , ]

Explanation:

To control which commands managers are allowed to enter on AOS-CX switches using HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) as a TACACS+ server, you need to add the Shell service to the TACACS+ enforcement profiles for the managers. This service allows you to define and enforce specific command sets and access privileges for users authenticated via TACACS+. Byconfiguring the Shell service in the enforcement profile, you can specify the commands that are permitted or denied for the managers, ensuring controlled and secure access to the switch's command-line interface.

[Reference: Aruba's ClearPass Policy Manager documentation provides detailed instructions on setting up TACACS+ services, including configuring Shell profiles for command authorization and enforcement policies., , , , ]
