HPE Network Security Expert Questions 25–32 (page: 5)

Updated On: 16-Jul-2026

A customer has an AOS-10 architecture that is managed by HPE Aruba Networking Central. HPE Aruba Networking infrastructure devices authenticate clients to an HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass cluster. In HPE Aruba Networking Central, you are examining network traffic flows on a wireless IoT device that is categorized as "Raspberry Pi" clients. You see SSH traffic. You then check several more wireless IoT clients and see that they are sending SSH also. Refer to the scenario. You are helping the customer assess ways to mitigate the potential threat you have detected. The customer recommends simply adding a rule that denies SSH traffic to the IoT client’s AOS user role.
What is the security drawback of this option?

  1. It does not prevent the likely compromised clients from taking other harmful actions.
  2. It only applies to Layer 3 traffic, so it will not reliably prevent a man-in-the-middle attack.
  3. It penalizes the wireless IoT client instead of the ultimate source of the threat.
  4. It only prevents SSH traffic initiated from IoT clients, not initiated by a device on the other side of the firewall.

A customer has an AOS-10 architecture that is managed by HPE Aruba Networking Central. HPE Aruba Networking infrastructure devices authenticate clients to an HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass cluster. In HPE Aruba Networking Central, you are examining network traffic flows on a wireless IoT device that is categorized as "Raspberry Pi" clients. You see SSH traffic. You then check several more wireless IoT clients and see that they are sending SSH also. Refer to the scenario. You are helping the customer assess ways to mitigate the potential threat you have detected. For the foreseeable future, until the security team has dealt with the threat, the company wants to block most traffic from any IoT client detected passing SSH traffic. The company does want to permit limited access for these clients so admins can remediate the clients remotely.
What action should you take?

  1. Create a rule in the IoT clients' typical AOS user role. This rule should match all SSH traffic from the client and apply denylisting.
  2. Configure global firewall settings on HPE Aruba Networking Central-managed APs and gateways to denylist clients that violate control plane (CP) policies.
  3. Create a post-authentication profile on CPPM that updates endpoint attributes based on information from Central. Then add a rule to the relevant CPPM enforcement policy that selects those attributes and applies a quarantine profile.
  4. Create a tag on HPE Aruba Networking Central to select IoT clients using SSH. Add a rule to the relevant CPPM enforcement policy that selects this tag and applies a quarantine profile.

In HPE Aruba Networking Central, you are examining network traffic flows on a wireless IoT device that is categorized as "Raspberry Pi" clients. You see SSH traffic. You then check several more wireless IoT clients and see that they are sending SSH also. Refer to the scenario. You are helping the customer assess ways to mitigate the potential threat you have detected. You have identified one possible option: Adding a rule to the clients' AOS user role that matches SSH traffic and applies denylisting.
What is one benefit of this option?

  1. It denies the SSH traffic while still allowing the clients to transmit and receive other traffic.
  2. It allows you to leave a degree of access open to blocked clients so that IT admins can remediate them remotely.
  3. It temporarily blocks all traffic from the client. But remediated clients can easily connect again as long as they no longer send SSH traffic.
  4. If allows you direct to clients to a server for scanning and remediation.
