Actual exam question for HP's HPE6-A85 exam

Question #: 36
Topic #: 8

The customer has a requirement to create authorization policies for their users with Windows 10 clients, with a requirement Tor authorizing both device and user credentials within one Radius session.

What would be the correct solution for the requirement?

AClearPass 6.9 with EAP-TTLS

BClearPass 6.9 with EAP-TLS

CClearPass 6.9 with PEAP

DClearPass 6.9 with EAP-TEAP

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

To provide an LACP connection with the maximum available bandwidth, one should configure a link aggregation group (LAG) using all available ports that can be used for data transfer. Since the SFP56 ports are used for stacking, the next best option is to use the 2 SFP28 ports and as many SmartRate 5G (SR5) ports as possible on each switch, which would allow for a 16-member LAG, with 2 SFP28 and 6 SR5 ports on each switch contributing to the LAG.

Wait, can EAP-TTLS really handle both user and device creds?

I recall that EAP-TTLS allows for user credentials to be sent after the tunnel is established, which might be useful here, but I’m not sure if it meets all the requirements.

I practiced a similar question about ClearPass and EAP methods, and I feel like EAP-TEAP could be a good fit, but I’m not confident about the specifics.

I think PEAP might be the right answer since it can encapsulate user credentials, but I need to double-check if it supports device authentication too.

I remember studying EAP-TLS, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the best choice for both device and user credentials in one session.

Based on the details provided, I believe EAP-TEAP would be the most appropriate solution. It supports both user and device authentication in a single Radius exchange.

I'm a little confused by the wording of the question. What exactly does "authorizing both device and user credentials" mean? I'll need to think through that requirement carefully.

Okay, the key here is that they need to authorize both the device and the user in a single Radius session. I think EAP-TTLS would be the best option to handle that.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the differences between all these EAP protocols. I'll need to review my notes to make sure I understand the requirements and can pick the right one.

This looks like a straightforward question on Radius authentication protocols. I'm pretty confident I can narrow it down to the correct answer.

I'm just hoping the correct answer isn't Option A, ClearPass 6.9 with EAP-TTLS. That would be like trying to use a screwdriver to hammer in a nail. *chuckles*

Option C, PEAP, is a solid choice too, but I'm not sure it has the same level of support for both device and user authentication as EAP-TEAP. Guess I'll have to dig into the technical specs to be sure.
