HPE6-A88 Exam - Topic 7 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE6-A88 exam

Question #: 2
Topic #: 7

A company wants to ensure that all BYOD devices undergo a health check before gaining full access to the network. They plan to use ClearPass OnGuard for this purpose. Given that they have a guest network where devices initially connect to an open guest SSID before full authentication, which agent should they use?

AThe dissolvable agent, because it does not require the client to have an IP address before performing health checks.

BThe dissolvable agent, because it can perform health checks via a captive portal without requiring pre-installed software.

CThe persistent agent, because it can operate independently of the network connection type.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The Dissolvable Agent is ideal for BYOD and Guest scenarios where you cannot mandate that users install permanent software on their personal devices. When a user connects to the guest portal, the agent is downloaded as a temporary executable, runs the required Health Checks, reports the results back to ClearPass, and then removes itself from the system. This provides security without the administrative overhead of managing software installations on non-corporate hardware.
