HPE6-A88 Exam - Topic 7 Question 2 Discussion

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?
B) The dissolvable agent, because it can perform health checks via a captive portal without requiring pre-installed software.
A) The dissolvable agent, because it does not require the client to have an IP address before performing health checks.
C) The persistent agent, because it can operate independently of the network connection type.

Given that they have a guest network where devices initially connect to an open guest SSID before full authentication, which agent should they use?

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

Option C seems less relevant here. Persistent agents need prior setup.

But B allows health checks through the captive portal, which is crucial.

I’m leaning towards A. No IP needed is a big plus for initial checks.

I’m a bit confused; I thought the persistent agent was better for situations where devices need to stay connected. But I guess that might not apply here?

I feel like the dissolvable agent is the way to go, especially since it can do health checks through a captive portal. That was a key point in our study materials.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about the persistent agent being more reliable for ongoing checks. Maybe it’s not the best fit here though?

I think the dissolvable agent is the right choice since it can work without needing an IP address first. That sounds familiar from our practice questions.
