HP Exam HPE6-A84 Topic 4 Question 21 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE6-A84 exam

Question #: 21
Topic #: 4

Refer to the exhibit.

Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) is using the settings shown in the exhibit. You reference the tag shown in the exhibit in enforcement policies related to NASes of several types, including Aruba APs, Aruba gateways, and AOS-CX switches.

What should you do to ensure that clients are reclassified and receive the correct treatment based on the tag?

AChange the RADIUS action to [Aruba Wireless -Terminate Session] which is supported by all the NASes in question.

BChange the RADIUS action to [Aruba Wireless - Bounce Switch Port] which is supported by all the NASes in question.

CEnable profiling in each service using one of these enforcement profiles. Set the profiling action to the correct one for the NASes using that service.

DSet the Tags Update Action to No Action. Then instead enable the RADIUS CoAs using enforcement profiles in the rules that match clients with the tag shown in the exhibit.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

According to the ClearPass Policy Manager User Guide1, the tag shown in the exhibit is a Device Insight tag, which is used to classify and identify devices based on their behavior and characteristics. Device Insight tags can be used as conditions in enforcement policies to apply different actions or roles to devices based on their tags. However, in order to ensure that devices are reclassified and receive the correct treatment based on their tags, profiling must be enabled in each service that uses one of these enforcement profiles. Profiling is a feature that allows ClearPass to dynamically discover and profile devices on the network, and update their attributes and tags accordingly. Profiling also allows ClearPass to send RADIUS Change of Authorization (CoA) messages to the network access servers (NASes) that control the access of the devices, and instruct them to reauthenticate or terminate the sessions of the devices that have changed their tags. The profiling action must be set to the correct one for the NASes using that service, as different NASes may support different types of CoA messages. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Wait, is this a trick question? What if the answer is actually E) Summon the ClearPass Genie to handle it all for you?

I'm torn between B and C. Bouncing the switch port might be a bit more heavy-handed, but it's supported by all the NASes, so it could be a viable option. Hmm, decisions, decisions...

I would go with enabling profiling in each service. It seems like a more targeted approach for reclassifying clients.

Bouncing the switch port could be a bit drastic, but if it's supported by all the NASes, it could work.

Yeah, that could ensure clients are reclassified correctly based on the tag.

I see your point, Keneth. But I think setting the Tags Update Action to No Action and enabling RADIUS CoAs could also work well.

This question is a piece of cake! Anyone who's worked with ClearPass Policy Manager should know that C is the right answer. Profiling is the key to making this work correctly.

I'm not sure about that. I think changing the RADIUS action to [Aruba Wireless -Terminate Session] might be a better option.
