HP Exam HPE6-A84 Topic 2 Question 1 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE6-A84 exam

Question #: 1
Topic #: 2

Refer to the scenario.

This customer is enforcing 802.1X on AOS-CX switches to Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). The customer wants switches to download role settings from CPPM. The ''reception-domain'' role must have these settings:

--- Assigns clients to VLAN 14 on switch 1, VLAN 24 on switch 2, and so on.

--- Filters client traffic as follows:

--- Clients are permitted full access to 10.1.5.0/24 and the Internet

--- Clients are denied access to 10.1.0.0/16

The switch topology is shown here:

How should you configure the VLAN setting for the reception role?

AAssign a consistent name to VLAN 14, 24, or 34 on each access layer switch and reference that name in the enforcement profile VLAN settings.

BConfigure the enforcement profile as a downloadable role, but specify only the role name and leave the VLAN undefined. Then define a 'reception' role with the correct VLAN setting on each individual access layer switch.

CAssign a number-based ID to the access layer switches. Then use this variable in the enforcement profile VLAN settings: %(NAS-ID]4.

DCreate a separate enforcement profile with a different VLAN ID for each switch. Add all profiles to the profile list in the appropriate enforcement policy rule.

And the VLAN configuration on each switch could be:
