HPE7-A02 Exam - Topic 13 Question 14 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A02 exam
Question #: 14
Topic #: 13
[All HPE7-A02 Questions]

A company wants to apply role-based access control lists (ACLs) on AOS-CX switches, which are implementing authentication to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM). The company wants to centralize configuration as much as possible. Which correctly describes your options?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Centralized Role Configuration on CPPM:

CPPM can assign roles to clients dynamically during authentication.

However, the actual ACL policies (e.g., firewall policies) must already exist and be referenced locally on the switch.

CPPM cannot directly configure ACL details on AOS-CX switches.

Option Analysis:

Option A: Correct. The role is defined on CPPM, but it references a policy pre-configured on the switch.

Option B: Incorrect. This does not align with Aruba's centralized role-based access control design.

Option C: Incorrect. CPPM cannot configure the ACL policies and classes directly; they must exist locally.

Option D: Incorrect. Policies can be referenced centrally but not fully configured on CPPM.

D seems like a solid compromise. Roles and policies on CPPM, classes local.

C sounds too good to be true. Can you really do all that on CPPM?

I think option A is correct. CPPM needs a policy name from the switch.

I'm leaning towards option D because it mentions configuring roles and policies on CPPM, but I can't recall if classes really need to be local.

I feel like we had a question similar to this in our last mock exam, and I think it was about configuring roles on CPPM but with some limitations.

I think option A sounds familiar because it mentions referencing a policy on the switch, which seems like a common setup we practiced.

I remember discussing how CPPM can centralize role management, but I'm not sure if it can handle everything without local configurations on the switch.

Okay, I think I've got it. Option D seems to be the correct answer - I can configure the role and policy on CPPM, but the classes need to be set up locally on the switch. That allows for some centralization while still requiring some switch-level configuration.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. The wording is a bit tricky, and I want to make sure I understand the differences between the configuration options before selecting an answer.

Option C looks like the best choice here. It says I can configure the role, policy, and classes all on CPPM, which would allow for the most centralized configuration.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the relationship between CPPM and the switch configuration. I'll need to carefully read through the options to understand where the different components are configured.
