HP Aruba Certified ClearPass Expert Written Sample Questions:

Question #1

You have designed a ClearPass solution for an Information Technology Business Park with 50,377 concurrent sessions including the visitors. The deployment includes eight ClearPass servers handling RADIUS authentication. Guest Self-Registration. Onboard and OnGuard. CPPM1 is acting as Publisher. CPPM2 to CPPM8 are added as subscriber nodes CPPM4 is the designated Standby Publisher. Servers CPPM2 and CPPM3 will be handling the Guest and Onboard HTTPS traffic. On a few devices, Corporate users will perform username and password based authentication with Active Directory accounts and on few devices, they will be using private CA signed TLS certificates to do the authentication The customer has three Active Directories (AD1, AD2 and A03) part of Multi-Domain Forest. To provide authentication redundancy, the customer has configured multiple Virtual IP settings between ClearPass servers in a cluster.

On all the Network Access Devices (NAD), the primary authentication server is configured as the VIP IP address and the secondary authentication server rs configured as CPPM1 MGMT IP address Based on the information provided, which ClearPass nodes will you join to the AD domain

A. Join CPPM1. CPPM4 to CPPM7 servers to the AD root domain
B. Join CPPM2 to CPPM7 ClearPass servers to the AD root domain.
C. Join CPPM1. CPPM4 to CPPM8 to the AD1. AD2 and AD3 domains.
D. Join all the eight ClearPass servers to AD1, AD2 and AD3 domains.

Question #2

Refer to the exhibit.

A customer with multiple Aruba Controllers has just installed a new certificate for "'.customerdomain.com- on all Aruba Controllers While testing the existing guest Self-Registration page the customer noticed that the logins are failing While troubleshooting they are finding no entries in the Event Viewer or Access Tracker for the tests Suspecting that the Aruba Controllers may not be properly posting the credentials from the guest browser, they open the NAS Vendor Settings for the Guest Self-Registration Page.

Question #3

A customer has two different geographical sites deployed with two ClearPass servers in each site. Site A has the Publisher (CPPM1) and a subscriber (CPPM2) and Site B has two subscribers (CPPM3 S CPPM4) All wired and wireless authentication requests from the respective sites are handled by respective CPPMs deployed in the sites When both the CPPM servers in Site B are lost, the authentications from Site B is handled by Site A subscriber (CPPM2). To control the Multi-Master Cache flush and reduce the amount of inter-site traffic, the customer also created a new Policy Manager Zone (Zone1) The Site B CPPM3 & CPPM4 are part of Zone! and Site A CPPM2 is also mapped to Zone1 as it will act as the backup RADIUS server for Site B The corporate laptops are installed with Persistent agent to run the OnGuard check and the OnGuard settings are also mapped to the Zones The Site A corporate user subnets are mapped to default zone and the Site 6 corporate user subnets are mapped to Zone1. The customer has the following issue in the setup: The corporate clients from Site A authenticating against the CPPM2 as their Primary RADIUS server assigns Quarantine enforcement profile even though the user s health status is Healthy.
What is the cause of this issue?

A. Multi-master cache also contains the roles and posture of the associated and unassociated clients and is shared with all members part of that Policy Manager Zone. CPPM2 belongs to Zone1 and the OnGuard setting for Site A is part of the default zone and the system health validation information is sent to one of the nodes that are part of its home zone As Posture cache for Site A hi not available with CPPMZ. it fails to apply the enforcement profile based on correct health status.
B. Multi-master cache also contains the roles and posture of the connected clients and is shared only with the members part of that Policy Manager Zone. CPPM2 belongs to Zone1 and the OnGuard setting for Site A is part of the default zone and the OnGuard system health validation information is sent to one of the nodes that are part of its home zone only. As Posture cache for Site A is not available with CPPM2. it fails to apply the enforcement profile based on correct health status.
C. Multi-master cache also contains the roles and posture of the connected clients and is shared across all members part of the cluster. The OnGuard setting for Site A is part of only the default zone and the OnGuard system health validation information is sent to one of the nodes that is part of its home zone only. As the CPPM2 is also not mapped to the default zone as well as Zone1, CPPM2 fails to apply the enforcement profile based on correct health status.
D. Multi-master cache also contains the roles and posture of the connected clients and is shared across all members part of the cluster. The OnGuard setting for Site A is part of only the default zone and the system health validation information is sent to one of the nodes that are part of its home zone only As the OnGuard setting of the Site A corporate user subset is not mapped with default as well as Zone1. CPPM2 fails to apply the enforcement profile based on correct health status.
