HP HPE6-A78 Exam Dumps - Actual Questions Answers

HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Device Insight is an advanced profiling solution integrated with ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) to enhance endpoint classification. It uses a combination of passive and active profiling techniques, along with machine learning, to identify and categorize devices on the network.

Option A, "Highly accurate endpoint classification for environments with many device types, including Internet of Things (IoT)," is correct. ClearPass Device Insight is designed to provide precise device profiling, especially in complex environments with diverse device types, such as IoT devices (e.g., smart cameras, thermostats). It leverages deep packet inspection (DPI), behavioral analysis, and a vast fingerprint database to accurately classify devices, enabling granular policy enforcement based on device type.

Option B, "Simpler troubleshooting of ClearPass solutions across an environment with multiple ClearPass Policy Managers," is incorrect. ClearPass Device Insight focuses on device profiling, not on troubleshooting ClearPass deployments. Troubleshooting across multiple CPPM instances would involve tools like the Event Viewer or Access Tracker, not Device Insight.

Option C, "Visibility into devices’ 802.1X supplicant settings and automated certificate deployment," is incorrect. ClearPass Device Insight does not provide visibility into 802.1X supplicant settings or automate certificate deployment. Those functions are handled by ClearPass Onboard (for certificate deployment) or Access Tracker (for authentication details).

Option D, "Agent-based analysis of devices’ security settings and health status, with the ability to implement quarantining," is incorrect. ClearPass Device Insight does not use agents for analysis; it relies on network traffic and active/passive profiling. Agent-based analysis and health status checks are features of ClearPass OnGuard, not Device Insight. Quarantining can be implemented by CPPM policies, but it’s not a direct benefit of Device Insight.

The ClearPass Device Insight Data Sheet states:

"ClearPass Device Insight provides highly accurate endpoint classification for environments with many device types, including Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It uses a combination of passive and active profiling techniques, deep packet inspection (DPI), and machine learning to identify and categorize devices with precision, enabling organizations to enforce granular access policies in complex networks." (Page 2, Benefits Section)

Additionally, the HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager 6.11 User Guide notes:

"ClearPass Device Insight enhances device profiling by offering highly accurate classification, especially for IoT and other non-traditional devices. It leverages a vast fingerprint database and advanced analytics to identify device types, making it ideal for environments with diverse endpoints." (Page 252, Device Insight Overview Section)

ClearPass Onboard is part of the Aruba ClearPass suite and it provides a mechanism to deploy certificates to end-user devices, regardless of whether or not they are members of a Windows domain. ClearPass Onboard facilitates the configuration and provisioning of network settings and security, including the delivery and installation of certificates to ensure secure network access. This capability enables a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) environment where devices can be securely managed and provided with the necessary certificates for network authentication.

With ArubaOS-CX switches, the use of ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) as a TACACS+ server for authentication is supported. The privilege levels assigned by CPPM will translate onto the switches, where the "manager" privilege level typically maps to administrative capabilities and the "operator" privilege level maps to more limited capabilities. ArubaOS-CX does support standard TACACS+ privilege levels, so administrators can be assigned appropriately. If the ClearPass policies are correctly configured, they will work for both ArubaOS-Switches and ArubaOS-CX switches. The distinction between the "administrators" and "operators" groups is inherent in the ArubaOS-CX role-based access control, and these default groups need to be appropriately mapped to the TACACS+ privilege levels assigned by CPPM.
