Aruba Certified Network Security Expert Written Exam Questions and Answers

Question 1

Refer to the scenario.

An organization wants the AOS-CX switch to trigger an alert if its RADIUS server (cp.acnsxtest.local) rejects an unusual number of client authentication requests per hour. After some discussions with other Aruba admins, you are still not sure how many rejections are usual or unusual. You expect that the value could be different on each switch.

You are helping the developer understand how to develop an NAE script for this use case.

You are helping a customer define an NAE script for AOS-CX switches. The script will monitor statistics from a RADIUS server defined on the switch. You want to future proof the script by enabling admins to select a different hostname or IP address for the monitored RADIUS server when they create an agent from the script.

What should you recommend?

Options:

Use this variable, %{radius-ipV when defining the monitor URI in the NAE agent script.

Define a parameter for the RADIUS server; reference that parameter instead of the server name/ip when defining the monitor URI.

Use a callback action to collect the name of any RADIUS servers defined on the switch at the time the agent is created.

Make the script editable so that admins can edit it on demand when they are creating scripts.

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because a parameter is a variable that can be defined and modified by the user or the script, and can be used to customize the behavior and output of the NAE script. A parameter can be referred to by using the syntax self ^ramsfname], where ramsfname is the name of the parameter.

By defining a parameter for the RADIUS server, you can make the NAE script more flexible and adaptable to different scenarios and switches. The parameter can be set to a default value, such as cp.acnsxtest.local, but it can also be changed by the user or the script based on the network conditions and requirements. For example, the user can select a different hostname or IP address for the monitored RADIUS server when they create an agent from the script, or the script can automatically detect and update the parameter based on the switch configuration. This way, the NAE script can monitor statistics from any RADIUS server defined on the switch without hard-coding the server name or IP address in the monitor URI.

A. Use this variable, %{radius-ipV when defining the monitor URI in the NAE agent script. This is not a valid recommendation because %{radius-ipV is not a valid variable in NAE scripts. Variables in NAE scripts are prefixed with self ^ramsfname], not with %. Moreover, radius-ipV is not a predefined variable that contains the RADIUS server name or IP address, but rather a generic term that could refer to any IP version.

C. Use a callback action to collect the name of any RADIUS servers defined on the switch at the time the agent is created. This is not a bad recommendation, but it is not as good as defining a parameter. A callback action is a feature that allows an NAE script to execute a command on the switch and collect its output for further processing or display. A callback action can be used to collect the name of any RADIUS servers defined on the switch by executing a command such as show radius-server or show running-config radius-server and parsing its output. However, a callback action might not be as fast or reliable as using a parameter, as it depends on the availability and responsiveness of the switch and its CLI.

D. Make the script editable so that admins can edit it on demand when they are creating scripts. This is not a good recommendation because making the script editable exposes it to potential errors or modifications that could affect its functionality or performance. Making the script editable also requires more effort and expertise from the admins, who might not be familiar with NAE scripting syntax or logic. Moreover, making the script editable does not future proof it, as it does not allow for dynamic changes or updates based on network conditions or requirements.

Question 2

Refer to the scenario.

# Introduction to the customer

You are helping a company add Aruba ClearPass to their network, which uses Aruba network infrastructure devices.

The company currently has a Windows domain and Windows CA. The Window CA issues certificates to domain computers, domain users, and servers such as domain controllers. An example of a certificate issued by the Windows CA is shown here.

The company is in the process of adding Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune) to manage its mobile clients. The customer is maintaining the on-prem AD for now and uses Azure AD Connect to sync with Azure AD.

# Requirements for issuing certificates to mobile clients

The company wants to use ClearPass Onboard to deploy certificates automatically to mobile clients enrolled in Intune. During this process, Onboard should communicate with Azure AD to validate the clients. High availability should also be provided for this scenario; in other words, clients should be able to get certificates from Subscriber 2 if Subscriber 1 is down.

The Intune admins intend to create certificate profiles that include a UPN SAN with the UPN of the user who enrolled the device.

# Requirements for authenticating clients

The customer requires all types of clients to connect and authenticate on the same corporate SSID.

The company wants CPPM to use these authentication methods:

EAP-TLS to authenticate users on mobile clients registered in Intune

TEAR, with EAP-TLS as the inner method to authenticate Windows domain computers and the users on them

To succeed, EAP-TLS (standalone or as a TEAP method) clients must meet these requirements:

Their certificate is valid and is not revoked, as validated by OCSP

The client’s username matches an account in AD

# Requirements for assigning clients to roles

After authentication, the customer wants the CPPM to assign clients to ClearPass roles based on the following rules:

Clients with certificates issued by Onboard are assigned the “mobile-onboarded” role

Clients that have passed TEAP Method 1 are assigned the “domain-computer” role

Clients in the AD group “Medical” are assigned the “medical-staff” role

Clients in the AD group “Reception” are assigned to the “reception-staff” role

The customer requires CPPM to assign authenticated clients to AOS firewall roles as follows:

Assign medical staff on mobile-onboarded clients to the “medical-mobile” firewall role

Assign other mobile-onboarded clients to the “mobile-other” firewall role

Assign medical staff on domain computers to the “medical-domain” firewall role

All reception staff on domain computers to the “reception-domain” firewall role

All domain computers with no valid user logged in to the “computer-only” firewall role

Deny other clients access

# Other requirements

Communications between ClearPass servers and on-prem AD domain controllers must be encrypted.

# Network topology

For the network infrastructure, this customer has Aruba APs and Aruba gateways, which are managed by Central. APs use tunneled WLANs, which tunnel traffic to the gateway cluster. The customer also has AOS-CX switches that are not managed by Central at this point.
