HP Aruba Certified Network Security Expert Written Sample Questions:

Question #1

You need to install a certificate on a standalone Aruba Mobility Controller (MC). The MC will need to use the certificate for the Web UI and for implementing RadSec with Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager. You have been given a certificate with these settings:
Subject: CN=mc41.site94.example.com
* No SANs
* Issuer: CN=ca41.example.com

B. It is issued by a private CA.
C. It lacks a DNS SAN.
D. It has conflicting EKUs.

Question #2

A company has Aruba gateways that are Implementing gateway IDS/IPS in IDS mode. The customer complains that admins are receiving too frequent of repeat email notifications for the same threat. The threat itself might be one that the admins should investigate, but the customer does not want the email notification to repeat as often.
Which setting should you adjust in Aruba Central?

B. Report scheduling settings
C. Alert duration and threshold settings
D. The IDS policy setting (strict, medium, or lenient)

Question #3

Refer to the scenario.
A customer requires these rights for clients in the "medical-mobile" AOS firewall role on Aruba Mobility Controllers (MCs):
Permitted to receive IP addresses with DHCP
* Permitted access to DNS services from 10.8.9.7 and no other server
* Permitted access to all subnets in the 10.1.0.0/16 range except denied access to 10.1.12.0/22
* Denied access to other 10.0.0.0/8 subnets
* Permitted access to the Internet
* Denied access to the WLAN for a period of time if they send any SSH traffic
* Denied access to the WLAN for a period of time if they send any Telnet traffic
* Denied access to all high-risk websites
External devices should not be permitted to initiate sessions with "medical-mobile" clients, only send return traffic.
The exhibits below show the configuration for the role.

There are multiple issues with the configuration.
What is one of the changes that you must make to the policies to meet the scenario requirements? (In the options, rules in a policy are referenced from top to bottom. For example, "medical-mobile" rule 1 is "ipv4 any any svc-dhcp permit," and rule 8 is "ipv4 any any any permit'.)

A. Move the rule in the "apprf-medical-mobile-sacl" policy between rules 7 and 8 in the "medical-mobile" policy.

The customer requires encryption for all communications between CPPM and the domain controllers.
You have imported the root certificate for the Windows CA to the ClearPass CA Trust list.
Which usages should you add to it based on these requirements?

B. The customer must deploy Aruba gateways in order to receive any client profiling information.
C. You will need to set up Aruba Central as a secondary IP helper for client VLANs, but this will not interfere with existing operations.
