Which endpoint classification capabilities do Aruba network infrastructure devices have on their own without ClearPass solutions?

  1. ArubaOS-CX switches can use a combination of active and passive methods to assign roles to clients.
  2. ArubaOS devices (controllers and lAPs) can use DHCP fingerprints to assign roles to clients.
  3. ArubaOS devices can use a combination of DHCP fingerprints, HTTP User-Agent strings, and Nmap to construct endpoint profiles.
  4. ArubaOS-Switches can use DHCP fingerprints to construct detailed endpoint profiles.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Without the integration of Aruba ClearPass or other advanced network access control solutions, ArubaOS devices (controllers and Instant APs) are able to use DHCP fingerprinting to assign roles to clients. This method allows the devices to identify the type of client devices connecting to the network based on the DHCP requests they send.
While this is a more basic form of endpoint classification compared to the capabilities provided by ClearPass, it still enables some level of access control based on device type. This functionality and its limitations are described in Aruba's product documentation for ArubaOS devices, highlighting the benefits of integrating a full-featured solution like ClearPass for more granular and powerful endpoint classification capabilities.



You have an Aruba solution with multiple Mobility Controllers (MCs) and campus APs. You want to deploy a WPA3-Enterprise WLAN and authenticate users to Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) with EAP-TLS.
What is a guideline for ensuring a successful deployment?

  1. Avoid enabling CNSA mode on the WLAN, which requires the internal MC RADIUS server.
  2. Ensure that clients trust the root CA for the MCs' Server Certificates.
  3. Educate users in selecting strong passwords with at least 8 characters.
  4. Deploy certificates to clients, signed by a CA that CPPM trusts.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

For WPA3-Enterprise with EAP-TLS, it's crucial that clients have a trusted certificate installed for the authentication process. EAP-TLS relies on a mutual exchange of certificates for authentication. Deploying client certificates signed by a CA that CPPM trusts ensures that the ClearPass Policy Manager can verify the authenticity of the client certificates during the TLS handshake process. Trust in the root CA is typically required for the server side of the authentication process, not the client side, which is covered by the client's own certificate.


Reference:

This practice is in line with EAP-TLS authentication mechanisms described in RFC 5216 - The EAP-TLS Authentication Protocol.



A company with 439 employees wants to deploy an open WLAN for guests. The company wants the experience to be as follows:
* Guests select the WLAN and connect without having to enter a password.
* Guests are redirected to a welcome web page and log in. The company also wants to provide encryption for the network for devices that are capable.
Which security options should you implement for the WLAN?

  1. Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE) and WPA3-Personal
  2. WPA3-Personal and MAC-Auth
  3. Captive portal and Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE) in transition mode
  4. Captive portal and WPA3-Personal

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE) provides encrypted communications on open Wi-Fi networks, which addresses the company's desire to have encryption without requiring a password for guests. It can work in transition mode, which allows for the use of OWE by clients that support it, while still permitting legacy clients to connect without encryption. Combining this with a captive portal enables the desired welcome web page for guests to log in.


Reference:

OWE is described in RFC 8110 - Opportunistic Wireless Encryption.



Which is a correct description of a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)?

  1. A device uses Intermediate Certification Authorities (CAs) to enable it to trust root CAs that are different from the root CA that signed its own certificate.
  2. A user must manually choose to trust intermediate and end-entity certificates, or those certificates must be installed on the device as trusted in advance.
  3. Root Certification Authorities (CAs) primarily sign certificates, and Intermediate Certification Authorities (CAs) primarily validate signatures.
  4. A user must manually choose to trust a root Certification Authority (CA) certificate, or the root CA certificate must be installed on the device as trusted.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) relies on a trusted root Certification Authority (CA) to issue certificates. Devices and users must trust the root CA for the PKI to be effective. If a root CA certificate is not pre-installed or manually chosen to be trusted on a device, any certificates issued by that CA will not be inherently trusted by the device.


Reference:

The concept and structure of PKI are detailed in various security literature, such as NIST Special Publication 800-32 - Introduction to Public Key Technology and the Federal PKI Infrastructure.



What is one of the policies that a company should define for digital forensics?

  1. which data should be routinely logged, where logs should be forwarded, and which logs should be archived
  2. what are the first steps that a company can take to implement micro-segmentation in their environment
  3. to which resources should various users be allowed access, based on their identity and the identity of their clients
  4. which type of EAP method is most secure for authenticating wired and wireless users with 802.1

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

In the context of digital forensics, policy A is the most relevant. It defines which data should be logged, where logs should be forwarded for analysis or storage, and which logs should be archived for future forensic analysis or audit purposes. This ensures that evidence is preserved in a way that supports forensic activities.


Reference:

Guidance on this is provided in the ISO/IEC 27037 standard - Guidelines for identification, collection, acquisition, and preservation of digital evidence.
