ACP Professional Standards & Best Practices 3

Question 1

When implementing Aruba's Zero Trust Security framework, which principle is applied to every access request regardless of network location?

Accepted Answer

Verify identity and posture before granting access to any resource

Answer

Zero Trust requires continuous verification of identity, device posture, and context before granting access, regardless of whether the request originates inside or outside the network.

Question 2

A company needs to onboard BYOD devices securely onto an Aruba wireless network. Which solution follows Aruba best practices?

Accepted Answer

Use Aruba ClearPass Onboard to provision unique certificates to BYOD devices

Answer

Aruba ClearPass Onboard automates provisioning of unique device certificates, enabling secure, identity-based access for BYOD devices without sharing static credentials.

Question 3

What is the recommended Aruba practice for managing AP group configurations in a multi-site deployment?

Accepted Answer

Use AP groups with inheritance from global templates to maintain consistency

Answer

AP groups with inherited global templates ensure configuration consistency across sites while allowing site-specific overrides where needed.

Question 4

During a ClearPass profiling deployment, an administrator notices unknown devices are not being profiled correctly. Which best practice should be reviewed first?

Accepted Answer

Verify that SNMP, HTTP User-Agent, and DHCP fingerprinting sources are enabled

Answer

ClearPass relies on multiple data sources (SNMP, DHCP, HTTP User-Agent) for accurate device profiling; ensuring these sources are enabled is the first troubleshooting step.

Question 5

Which SSID design approach does Aruba recommend to reduce co-channel interference in high-density environments?

Accepted Answer

Minimize the number of SSIDs broadcast per AP to reduce beacon overhead

Answer

Each SSID adds beacon overhead and increases channel contention; Aruba recommends keeping the number of active SSIDs per AP to a minimum (typically 3 or fewer).
