NEW QUESTION # 65
A company has Aruba APs that are controlled by Central and that implement WIDS. When you check WIDS events, you see a "detect valid SSID misuse" event. What can you interpret from this event, and what steps should you take?
- A. Clients are failing to authenticate to corporate SSIDs. You should first check for misconfigured authentication settings and then investigate a possible threat.
- B. Hackers are likely trying to pose as authorized APs. You should use the detecting radio information and immediately track down the device that triggered the event.
- C. This event might be a threat but is almost always a false positive. You should wait to see the event over several days before following up on it.
- D. Admins have likely misconfigured SSID security settings on some of the company's APs. You should have them check those settings.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The "Detect Valid SSID Misuse" event in Aruba's Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) indicates that a valid SSID, associated with your network, is being broadcast from an unauthorized source. This scenario often signals a potential rogue access point attempting to deceive clients into connecting to it (e.g., for credential harvesting or man-in-the-middle attacks).
1. Explanation of Each Option
A: Clients are failing to authenticate to corporate SSIDs. You should first check for misconfigured authentication settings and then investigate a possible threat:
* Incorrect:
* This event is not related to authentication failures by legitimate clients.
* Misconfigured authentication settings would lead to events like "authentication failures" or
"radius issues," not "valid SSID misuse."
B: Admins have likely misconfigured SSID security settings on some of the company's APs. You should have them check those settings:
* Incorrect:
* This event refers to an external device broadcasting your SSID, not misconfiguration on the company's authorized APs.
* WIDS differentiates between valid corporate APs and rogue APs.
C: Hackers are likely trying to pose as authorized APs. You should use the detecting radio information and immediately track down the device that triggered the event:
* Correct:
* This is the most likely cause of the "detect valid SSID misuse" event. A rogue AP broadcasting a corporate SSID could lure clients into connecting to it, exposing sensitive credentials or traffic.
* Immediate action includes:
* Using the radio information from the event logs to identify the rogue AP's location.
* Physically locating and removing the rogue device.
* Strengthening WIPS/WIDS policies to prevent further misuse.
D: This event might be a threat but is almost always a false positive. You should wait to see the event over several days before following up on it:
* Incorrect:
* While false positives are possible, "valid SSID misuse" is a critical security event that should not be ignored.
* Delaying action increases the risk of successful attacks against your network.
2. Recommended Steps to Address the Event
* Review Event Logs:
* Gather details about the rogue AP, such as SSID, MAC address, channel, and signal strength.
* Locate the Rogue Device:
* Use the detecting AP's radio information and signal strength to triangulate the rogue AP's physical location.
* Respond to the Threat:
* Remove or disable the rogue device.
* Notify the security team for further investigation.
* Prevent Future Misuse:
* Strengthen security policies, such as enabling client whitelists or enhancing WIPS protection.

- B. An IF-MAP interface with CPPM as the destination.
- C. Logging with CPPM configured as a Syslog server.
- D. Dynamic authorization enabled in the RADIUS settings for CPPM.
Answer: A
Explanation:
* RADIUS Accounting:
* RADIUS accounting enables network devices to report client session details (e.g., IP addresses, session duration, bandwidth usage) to CPPM.
* Interim updates ensure CPPM receives ongoing updates about the client's session, enabling accurate tracking.
* Option Analysis:
* Option A: Incorrect. Syslog logging sends general system logs, not client session details.
* Option B: Incorrect. Dynamic authorization (CoA) handles session changes but does not provide usage tracking.
* Option C: Correct. RADIUS accounting with interim updates tracks client IP addresses and bandwidth utilization.
* Option D: Incorrect. IF-MAP interfaces are used for metadata sharing, not for RADIUS-based tracking.
NEW QUESTION # 67
A company has AOS-CX switches and HPE Aruba Networking APs, which run AOS-10 and bridge their SSIDs. Company security policies require 802.1X on all edge ports, some of which connect to APs.
How should you configure the auth-mode on AOS-CX switches?
- A. Configure all edge ports in device auth-mode.
- B. Configure all edge ports in client auth-mode.
- C. Leave all edge ports in device auth-mode and configure client auth-mode in the AP role.
- D. Leave all edge ports in client auth-mode and configure device auth-mode in the AP role.
Answer: B
Explanation:
For a company with AOS-CX switches and HPE Aruba Networking APs running AOS-10, where 802.1X authentication is required on all edge ports, you should configure all edge ports in clientauth-mode. This mode ensures that each client connecting through the APs is authenticated individually, maintaining the security policy requirements for 802.1X authentication on all connections.
NEW QUESTION # 68
You are setting up an HPE Aruba Networking VIA solution for a company. You need to configure access control policies for applications and resources that remote clients can access when connected to the VPN.
Where on the VPNC should you configure these policies?
- A. In the roles to which VIA clients are assigned after VIA Web authentication
- B. In the tunneled network settings within the VIA Connection Profile
- C. In the cloud security settings using IPsec maps
- D. In the roles to which VIA clients are assigned after IKE authentication
Answer: D
Explanation:
To configure access control policies for applications and resources that remote clients can access when connected to the VPN, you should configure these policies in the roles to which VIA clients are assigned after IKE (Internet Key Exchange) authentication on the VPNC. These roles define the permissions and access controls for the clients once they are authenticated, ensuring that they can only access the applications and resources allowed by their assigned roles.
1.IKE Authentication: After IKE authentication, clients are assigned specific roles that determine their access privileges.
2.Role-Based Access Control: By configuring access control policies within these roles, you can granularly control what resources and applications the remote clients can access over the VPN.
3.Security: This method ensures that access is managed securely and dynamically based on the role assigned to each client after successful authentication.
NEW QUESTION # 69
Refer to Exhibit:
An HPE Aruba Networking 9x00 gateway is part of an HPE Aruba Networking Central group that has the settings shown in the exhibit. What would cause the gateway to drop traffic as part of its IDPS settings?
- A. Its IDPS engine failing
- B. Traffic matching a rule in the active ruleset
- C. Traffic showing anomalous behavior
- D. Its site-to-site VPN connections failing
Answer: B
Explanation:
1. IDPS Mode Configuration Overview
The exhibit shows the HPE Aruba Networking Central settings for the Gateway IDS/IPS configuration:
* Mode: Configured for Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), meaning that the gateway actively blocks traffic identified as threats.
* Fail Strategy: Configured to Block, meaning that if the gateway cannot determine the traffic's nature due to a system issue, it will block the traffic.
* Ruleset: The gateway uses a predefined set of intrusion detection/prevention rules (ruleset version
9861), which is updated automatically every day.
2. Traffic Evaluation in IPS Mode
In IPS mode, the gateway analyzes traffic against the active ruleset:
* If traffic matches a rule in the ruleset and is deemed malicious, the gateway will drop the traffic as part of its prevention mechanism.
* The ruleset defines specific conditions (e.g., signatures of known attacks, protocol anomalies) under which traffic should be blocked.
3. Explanation of Each Option
* A. Its site-to-site VPN connections failing:
* Incorrect:
* Site-to-site VPN connection issues do not directly trigger traffic drops under IDPS settings.
* IDPS is focused on detecting and preventing malicious activity, not general connectivity issues.
* B. Traffic matching a rule in the active ruleset:
* Correct:
* In IPS mode, the gateway drops traffic that matches any predefined rules in the active ruleset.
* For example, if traffic matches the signature of a known exploit or attack, it is immediately blocked.
* C. Its IDPS engine failing:
* Incorrect:
* The fail strategy determines how the gateway behaves in the event of an IDPS engine failure.
* In this case, the fail strategy is set to Block, but this applies only if the engine itself fails, not as a proactive traffic drop mechanism.
* D. Traffic showing anomalous behavior:
* Incorrect:
* While anomalous behavior may be logged or flagged, it does not necessarily lead to traffic drops unless it matches a specific rule in the active ruleset.
* Anomaly detection alone is not sufficient for IPS action without explicit rule matches.
Final Outcome:
Traffic is dropped only when it matches a rule in the active ruleset, ensuring targeted prevention of malicious activity.

NEW QUESTION # 71
A company has AOS-CX switches. The company wants to make it simpler and faster for admins to detect denial of service (DoS) attacks, such as ping or ARP floods, launched against the switches.
What can you do to support this use case?
- A. Deploy an NAE agent on the switches to monitor control plane policing (CoPP).
- B. Enabling debugging of security functions on the switches.
- C. Implement ARP inspection on all VLANs that support end-user devices.
- D. Configure the switches to implement RADIUS accounting to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass and enable HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Insight.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Why Monitoring Control Plane Policing (CoPP) with an NAE Agent Is Effective for Detecting DoS Attacks
* Control Plane Policing (CoPP): AOS-CX switches use CoPP to protect the CPU from excessive traffic caused by DoS attacks (e.g., ARP floods, ICMP floods). CoPP enforces rate limits and drops malicious traffic at the control plane level.
* NAE (Network Analytics Engine) Agent:
* The NAE on AOS-CX switches can monitor CoPP counters in real time and trigger alerts if thresholds for certain traffic types (e.g., ICMP, ARP) are exceeded.
* Admins can use NAE to automate detection and respond faster to DoS attacks.
Analysis of Each Option
A: Deploy an NAE agent on the switches to monitor control plane policing (CoPP):
* Correct:
* NAE agents provide real-time visibility into CoPP behavior, helping detect DoS attacks more quickly.
* By analyzing CoPP statistics, the NAE can pinpoint abnormal traffic patterns and alert admins.
* This is the most efficient and scalable solution for this use case.
B: Configure the switches to implement RADIUS accounting to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass and enable HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Insight:
* Incorrect:
* While ClearPass can provide visibility into user authentication and device activity, it is not specifically designed to detect or mitigate DoS attacks against switches.
C: Implement ARP inspection on all VLANs that support end-user devices:
* Incorrect:
* ARP inspection helps mitigate ARP spoofing or poisoning, but it does not directly address detection of DoS attacks like ICMP or ARP floods.
* It is a preventative measure, not a detection tool.
D: Enabling debugging of security functions on the switches:
* Incorrect:
* Debugging logs can help troubleshoot specific issues but are not practical for real-time detection of DoS attacks.
* Enabling debugging can overload the switch and is not suitable for proactive monitoring.
Final Recommendation
Deploying an NAE agent to monitor CoPP is the best solution because it provides real-time detection, alerting, and insights into traffic patterns that indicate DoS attacks.

(Note that the HPE Aruba Networking Central interface shown here might look slightly different from what you see in your HPE Aruba Networking Central interface as versions change; however, similar concepts continue to apply.) An HPE Aruba Networking 9x00 gateway is part of an HPE Aruba Networking Central group that has the settings shown in the exhibit. What would cause the gateway to drop traffic as part of its IDPS settings?
- A. Its IDPS engine failing
- B. Traffic matching a rule in the active ruleset
- C. Traffic showing anomalous behavior
- D. Its site-to-site VPN connections failing
Answer: B
Explanation:
In the exhibit, the HPE Aruba Networking Central settings for the 9x00 gateway show that traffic inspection is enabled, and the gateway is set to operate in IDS (Intrusion Detection System) modewith the fail strategy set to "Block". This configuration means that the gateway will drop traffic if it matches a rule in the active ruleset.
1.Active Ruleset: The ruleset version 9861 is active, and the gateway is configured to automatically update the ruleset daily.
2.Traffic Matching Rules: When traffic matches a rule in the active ruleset, it is flagged as suspicious or malicious.
3.Block Mode: Since the fail strategy is set to "Block", any traffic that matches a rule in the active ruleset will be dropped to prevent potential threats.

NEW QUESTION # 76
A company has AOS-CX switches at the access layer, managed by HPE Aruba Networking Central. You have identified suspicious activity on a wired client. You want to analyze the client's traffic with Wireshark, which you have on your management station.
What should you do?
- A. Set up a mirror session on the client's switch; set the client port as the source and your station IP address as the tunnel destination.
- B. Access the client's switch's CLI from your management station. Access the switch shell and run a TCP dump on the client port.
- C. Set up a policy that implements a captive portal redirect to your management station. Apply that policy to the client's port.
- D. Go to the client's switch in HPE Aruba Networking Central. Use the "Security" page to run a packet capture.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Why a Mirror Session Is the Correct Choice
To analyze a wired client's traffic with Wireshark, you need the traffic mirrored to your management station where Wireshark is installed. The most effective way to achieve this is by configuring a mirror session on the AOS-CX switch, specifying the client port as the source and your management station as the destination.
Analysis of Each Option
A: Access the client's switch's CLI from your management station. Access the switch shell and run a TCP dump on the client port:
* Incorrect:
* AOS-CX switches do not natively support packet capture (e.g., tcpdump) directly on the switch CLI.
* This approach is not feasible for capturing and analyzing live client traffic.
B: Go to the client's switch in HPE Aruba Networking Central. Use the "Security" page to run a packet capture:
* Incorrect:
* HPE Aruba Networking Central provides security insights but does not directly support initiating packet captures for detailed analysis.
* Traffic analysis with tools like Wireshark requires local packet capture at the management station.
C: Set up a policy that implements a captive portal redirect to your management station. Apply that policy to the client's port:
* Incorrect:
* Captive portals are designed for user authentication and redirection, not traffic analysis.
* This would disrupt the client's network activity without enabling traffic analysis in Wireshark.
D: Set up a mirror session on the client's switch; set the client port as the source and your station IP address as the tunnel destination:
* Correct:
* Mirroring the client port to your management station is the standard method for analyzing live network traffic with Wireshark.
* Steps include:
* Configure a mirror session on the client's AOS-CX switch.
* Set the client's port as the source.
* Set your management station as the destination using its IP address (via GRE tunnel or physical interface).
* Start capturing traffic with Wireshark on the management station.
Final Recommendation
To analyze the client's traffic, configure a mirror session on the switch, set the client port as the source, and direct the traffic to your management station where Wireshark is running.

- A. Wireless deauthentication only
- B. Wireless tarpit only
- C. Wired containment
- D. Wireless tarpit and wired containment
Answer: A
Explanation:
* Rogue AP Containment Methods:
* HPE Aruba Networking recommends using wireless deauthentication as the preferred method for rogue AP containment.
* Deauthentication sends deauth frames to clients connected to rogue APs, causing them to disconnect. This method is effective without introducing unnecessary disruptions to the wired infrastructure.
* Key Points:
* Wireless Deauthentication is simple, efficient, and widely supported across client devices.
* Tarpit Containment is more aggressive and may cause unintentional disruptions to legitimate clients.
* Wired Containment involves blocking traffic at the switch level but is complex and may impact legitimate infrastructure traffic.

NEW QUESTION # 79
You are setting up policy rules in HPE Aruba Networking SSE. You want to create a single rule that permits users in a particular user group to access multiple applications. What is an easy way to meet this need?
- A. Place all the applications in the same connector zone; select that zone as a destination in the policy rule.
- B. Associate the applications directly with the IdP used to authenticate the users; choose any for the destination in the policy rule.
- C. Select the applications within a non-default web profile; select that profile in the policy rule.
- D. Apply the same tag to the applications; select the tag as a destination in the policy rule.
Answer: D
Explanation:
* Tagging Applications: In HPE Aruba Networking SSE (Secure Service Edge), tagging is an efficient way to group multiple applications together for simplified management and rule creation.
* Tags can be applied to applications, and a single policy rule can be configured to use the tag as the destination.
* This eliminates the need to create multiple rules for each individual application, streamlining policy configuration.
* Option B: Correct. Applying the same tag to multiple applications allows you to select the tag as the destination in a single policy rule, meeting the requirement efficiently.
* Option A: Incorrect. Associating applications with the IdP and selecting "any" for the destination lacks granularity and security.
* Option C: Incorrect. Using connector zones is more appropriate for network-level segmentation rather than grouping application policies.
* Option D: Incorrect. Web profiles are generally used for web-based traffic policies, not for grouping applications in general.

The exhibit shows the 802.1X-related settings for Windows domain clients. What should admins change to make the settings follow best security practices?
- A. Clear the check box for using simple certificate selection and select the desired certificate manually.
- B. Specify at least two server names under the "Connect to these servers" field.
- C. Under the "Connect to these servers" field, use a wildcard in the server name.
- D. Select the desired Trusted Root Certificate Authority and select the check box next to "Don't prompt users."
Answer: B
Explanation:
To follow best security practices for 802.1X authentication settings in Windows domain clients:
* Specify at least two server names under "Connect to these servers":
* Admins should explicitly list trusted RADIUS server names (e.g., radius.example.com) to prevent the client from connecting to unauthorized or rogue servers.
* This mitigates man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks where an attacker attempts to present their own RADIUS server.
* Select the desired Trusted Root Certificate Authority and "Don't prompt users":
* Select the Trusted Root CA that issued the RADIUS server's certificate. This ensures clients validate the correct server certificate during the EAP-TLS/PEAP authentication process.
* Enabling "Don't prompt users" ensures end users are not confused or tricked into accepting certificates from untrusted servers.
* Why the other options are incorrect:
* Option C: Incorrect. Wildcards in server names (e.g., *.example.com) weaken security and allow broader matching, increasing the risk of rogue servers.
* Option D: Incorrect. Clearing "Use simple certificate selection" requires users to select certificates manually, which can lead to errors and usability issues. Simple certificate selection is recommended when properly configured.
Recommended Settings for Best Security Practices:
* Server Validation: Specify the exact RADIUS server names in the "Connect to these servers" field.
* Root CA Validation: Ensure only the correct Trusted Root Certificate Authority is selected.
* User Prompts: Enable "Don't prompt users" to enforce automatic and secure authentication without user intervention.
NEW QUESTION # 82
An AOS-CX switch has been configured to implement UBT to two HPE Aruba Networking gateways that implement VRRP on the users' VLAN. What correctly describes how the switch tunnels UBT users' traffic to those gateways?
- A. The switch always load shares the users' traffic across both gateways.
- B. The switch always sends the users' traffic to the VRRP master.
- C. The switch always sends all users' traffic to the gateway assigned as the active device designed gateway.
- D. The switch always sends all users' traffic to the primary gateway configured in the UBT zone.
Answer: D
Explanation:
* User-Based Tunneling (UBT) with VRRP:
* UBT allows traffic from authenticated users to be tunneled to an HPE Aruba Networking gateway.
* In the case of VRRP, where two gateways are configured for redundancy, the AOS-CX switch will always send the traffic to the primary gateway defined in the UBT zone configuration.
* The VRRP state (master/backup) does not impact the UBT decision; the UBT primary configuration takes precedence.
* Option Analysis:
* Option A: Incorrect. UBT does not strictly follow the VRRP master; it adheres to the UBT primary gateway configuration.
* Option B: Correct. The switch tunnels all traffic to the primary gateway configured in the UBT zone.
* Option C: Incorrect. UBT does not load-share traffic between gateways.
* Option D: Incorrect. UBT uses the primary gateway configured in the UBT zone, not dynamically determined active devices.
