HPE7-A02 Exam Dumps : Aruba Certified Network Security Professional Exam

When establishing a cluster of HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass servers, it is recommended to install a CA-signed certificate for HTTPS on the Subscriber before it joins the cluster. This ensures secure communication between the servers in the cluster and provides a trusted certificate for client connections.

1.HTTPS Security: A CA-signed certificate for HTTPS ensures that all web-based communication to and from the ClearPass server is encrypted and secure.

2.Cluster Communication: Secure communication between ClearPass nodes in the cluster is essential for synchronization and data integrity.

3.Client Trust: Clients accessing the ClearPass server will trust the CA-signed certificate, avoiding security warnings and ensuring smooth operations.

When using OpenSSL to obtain a certificate signed by a Certification Authority (CA), you should submit the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file, which is file1.pem, to the CA. The CSR contains the information about the entity requesting the certificate and the public key, but not the private key, which is in file2.pem. The CA uses the information in the CSR to create and sign the certificate.

1.CSR Submission: The CSR (file1.pem) includes the public key and the entity information required by the CA to issue a certificate.

2.Private Key Security: The private key (file2.pem) should never be sent to the CA or shared; it remains securely stored on the requestor’s server.

3.Certificate Issuance: After the CA signs the CSR, the resulting certificate can be used with the private key to establish secure communications.

Traffic Forwarding for APs:

In AOS-10, AP traffic forwarding can happen locally (bridged) or through tunnels to a gateway.

The VLAN settings on the "APs" role depend on whether the APs bridge the SSID traffic locally or forward it through a tunnel.

Option B: Correct. You need to know whether the traffic is bridged or tunneled to determine the VLAN assignments.

Option A: Incorrect. LURs/DURs affect role assignment but not VLAN settings for traffic forwarding.

Option C: Incorrect. Establishing tunnels with gateways is relevant to centralized traffic forwarding, not VLANs for bridged traffic.

Option D: Incorrect. AP IP addressing (static or DHCP) does not impact the VLAN for forwarded SSID traffic.
