HPE Aruba Networking switches are implementing MAC-Auth to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) for a company's printers. The company wants to quarantine a client that spoofs a legitimate printer's MAC address. You plan to add a rule to the MAC-Auth service enforcement policy for this purpose. What condition should you include?
D) Authorization: [Endpoints Repository] Conflict EQUALS true
A) Endpoint Compliance EQUALS false
B) Endpoint Device Insight Tag EXISTS
C) Authorization: [Endpoints Repository] Compromised EQUALS true

[All HPE7-A02 Questions]

HPE Aruba Networking switches are implementing MAC-Auth to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) for a company's printers. The company wants to quarantine a client that spoofs a legitimate printer's MAC address. You plan to add a rule to the MAC-Auth service enforcement policy for this purpose. What condition should you include?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

MAC Spoofing Detection with Endpoint Conflict:

When two devices attempt to use the same MAC address, ClearPass identifies a Conflict state in the Endpoints Repository.

This condition can be used to detect and quarantine clients that spoof legitimate devices.

Option D: Correct. The Conflict EQUALS true condition identifies devices with duplicate MAC addresses.

Option A: Incorrect. Endpoint compliance checks posture, not MAC spoofing.

Option B: Incorrect. Device Insight Tags are used for profiling but do not identify conflicts.

Option C: Incorrect. Compromised devices relate to security incidents, not MAC address conflicts.

I'm leaning towards option D. Checking for a "Conflict" in the Endpoints Repository seems like the best way to identify the spoofed device and quarantine it accordingly.

Based on the question, I think the key is to look for a condition that identifies the client as having a "Conflict" in the Endpoints Repository. That seems like the most direct way to detect the MAC address spoofing.
