Q39. Your customer added third-party USB dongles to the USB ports of their AOS 10 access points. The customer uses AP-615 and AP-635 Each AP is connected with a Cat 6A cable to a CX 6300F Class 4 PoE switch All APs are in the same group in HPE Aruba Networking Central and share the same configuration However, many of the dongles do not come up.
Which option will solve this issue?

Replace the Class a PoE switches with Class 6 PoE switches.

Create two separate service profiles in the loT tab of the Central configuration settings.

Perform a “poe disable” followed by a “poe enable” for the switch ports which connect to the APs so that the APs reboot.

Move the AP-635 access points to a different group in Central to configure the dongles separately from the AP-615.

Q40. A customer is starting to test AAA on their edge switch interfaces. The client device support team is concerned about clients being denied access to the network due to mistakes in configuration or reachability to the authentication servers.
What should be enabled to address the concerns of the client device support team? (Select two)

Configure onboarding-method concurrent

Configure the critical role

Configure auth-mode multi-device

Configure the fallback role

Configure port-access radius-override

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (Verified Extract from HPE Aruba Networking Switching Documentation) When implementing AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) on Aruba CX switches, there are mechanisms to ensure that end-user devices maintain basic network connectivity even if authentication fails due to server unreachability or configuration errors.
Two key mechanisms address this concern:
1. Critical Role
The critical role defines the local role that is automatically applied to a port or user session when:
* The authentication server is unreachable, or
* The authentication process cannot be completed due to network errors.
This ensures that endpoints (clients) can still obtain limited or temporary access to the network (for example, DHCP and DNS access) even when RADIUS is unavailable.
ArubaOS-CX Extract:
“When AAA authentication fails due to the RADIUS server being unreachable, the switch assigns the critical- role to the client, allowing limited access to the network until connectivity to the server is restored.”
2. Fallback Role
The fallback-role defines a default role that the switch applies to any device that fails authentication or does not match any configured authentication method (e.g., device profiling, MAC-auth, or 802.1X).
In lab or early deployment scenarios, this role provides baseline network access for devices that fail authentication but should not be entirely blocked.
ArubaOS-CX Extract:
“The fallback role allows clients that do not match any authentication or profiling method to obtain a defined level of access instead of being denied network connectivity.” Option Analysis:
* A. Configure onboarding-method concurrent # Used to enable multiple onboarding methods (802.1 X, MAC-auth, device profiling) concurrently; does not prevent network denial.
* B. Configure the critical role # Correct. Ensures connectivity when AAA servers are unreachable.
* C. Configure auth-mode multi-device # Controls how multiple clients share a port; unrelated to AAA fallback behavior.
* D. Configure the fallback role # Correct. Provides network access to unauthenticated or failed-auth clients.
* E. Configure port-access radius-override # Allows RADIUS to override local roles or VLANs; does not address reachability or failure handling.

Q41. Exhibit.

An engineer has applied the above configuration to R1 and R2 However the routers OSPF adjacency never progresses past the “EXSTART-DR” slate as shown below.

Which configuration action on either router will allow R1 and R2 to progress past the “EXSTART/DR” state?

Change R1 and R2 to a network type of point-to-point.

Remove the layer 3 MTU configuration.

Ensure the OSPF process is not configured with passive-interface default.

Change the IP address and mask applied to interface 1/1/1.

Q42. A customer is evaluating device profiles on a CX 6300 switch. The test device has the following attribute:
* MAC address = 81:cd:93:13:ab:31
The test device needs to be assigned the “iot-prod” role. In addition, the “iot-default” role must be applied for any other device connected to interface 1/1/1.
This is a lab environment with no configuration of any external authentication server for the test.

Given the configuration example, what is required to meet this testing requirement?

Enter the command port-access onboarding-method precedence to set device profiles with a higher precedence

Enter the command port-access device-profile mode block-until-profile-applied globally

Enter the command port-access fallback-role iot-default globally

Enter the command port-access onboarding-method precedence to set device profiles with a lower precedence

Q43. What is the recommended configuration to ensure link aggregation is consistent in a campus topology using VSX with two aggregation switches and downlinks to access switches?

Use the command “vsx-sync active-gateways” under the VSX context.

Use a custom LACP hash algorithm for improved load balancing.

Use the command “vsx-sync mclag-interfaces” from the global context.

Use the command “vsx-sync mclag-interfaces” under the VSX context.

Q44. A customer has interfering devices that are seen over the air. They contact you and ask you to configure RAPIDS to help identify interfering and rogue APs.
HPE Aruba Networking Central identifies a rogue AP and displays the connected switch port.
How can HPE Aruba Networking Central identify which switch port the AP is connected to?

Device profiling on the switch

From the switch MAC address table

From the switch LLDP neighbors table

From the AP MAC address table

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (Verified Extract from HPE Aruba Networking Central and ClearPass Documentation) RAPIDS (Rogue AP Detection System) in Aruba Central or AirWave works by correlating information between wireless and wired infrastructure to detect rogue devices and identify their wired connectivity location.
When Aruba Central detects a rogue AP or interfering device, it uses wired-side discovery mechanisms such as LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) to trace the device’s physical connection.
If the managed switch supports LLDP, it advertises and records neighbor information, including device type, MAC address, and connected port. Aruba Central queries this LLDP neighbor table from managed switches to determine the exact switch port where the rogue AP is physically connected.
Aruba Central and RAPIDS Documentation Extract:
“Aruba Central correlates rogue or interfering AP MAC addresses with wired-side discovery data. Using LLDP neighbor table information from managed switches, Central identifies the physical switch port where the rogue device is connected.” Other options such as the MAC address table can show where a MAC is learned, but LLDP provides the direct, authenticated neighbor relationship that allows Aruba Central to accurately identify the rogue AP connection point and display it in the dashboard.
Option Analysis:
* A. Incorrect – Device profiling identifies endpoint types, not wired connection ports for rogue AP detection.
* B. Incorrect – MAC tables alone don’t provide direct port-device mapping context for rogue detection in Central.
* C. # Correct – Aruba Central uses LLDP neighbor data from managed switches to map rogue or interfering APs to specific switch ports.
* D. Incorrect – AP MAC address tables exist in controllers or APs, not in Central’s rogue-tracking mechanism.

Q45. A customer is evaluating device profiles on a CX 6300 switch. The test device has the following attribute:

* MAC address=81:cd:93:13:ab:31
The test device needs to be assigned the “lot-prod” role, in addition the “lot-default” role must be applied for any other device connected lo interface 1/1/1. This is a lab environment with no configuration of any external authentication server for the test.
Given the configuration example, what is required to meet this testing requirement?

Enter the command “pot-access device-profile mode block-until-profile-applied”” for interface 1/1/1.

Enter the command “port-access fallback-role lot-default globally

Enter the command “port-access onboarding-method precedence” to set device profiles with a lower precedence.

Q50. Match each Group Based Policy (GBP) rote description to its respective role ID.

Q51. A customer would like to allow their IT Helpdesk to configure IoT devices to connect to a single SSID using a unique PSK that other devices cannot use.
Which solution would you recommend?

MPSK AES with HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass

MPSK AES with HPE Aruba Networking Central Cloud Authentication

MPSK Local

MPSK AES with MAC Auth

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract of HPE Aruba Networking Switching:
The requirement in this question is to allow IT staff to provision unique pre-shared keys (PSKs) for each IoT device on a single SSID, ensuring that one device’s PSK cannot be used by another. This is the definition of Multi-Pre-Shared Key (MPSK) functionality.
HPE Aruba Networking supports three main MPSK deployment methods:
* MPSK Local – Keys are defined locally on the AP or gateway; no external integration.
* MPSK with ClearPass – Keys are managed and validated via ClearPass Policy Manager.
* MPSK with Cloud Authentication – Keys are generated, stored, and managed natively through Aruba Central Cloud Authentication.
In this scenario, the IT Helpdesk wants a simplified, cloud-based method to generate and manage per-device unique PSKs without needing a ClearPass deployment. This aligns directly with MPSK AES with HPE Aruba Networking Central Cloud Authentication.
Exact Extract from HPE Aruba Networking Switching and Central Documentation:
“MPSK with Cloud Authentication allows administrators to configure a single SSID where each device is assigned a unique PSK. The PSKs are securely stored and validated using Aruba Central’s cloud-based authentication service.”
“Each PSK is tied to a specific client identity. If another device attempts to connect using the same PSK, the authentication will fail.”
“This method simplifies onboarding of IoT and headless devices while maintaining security equivalent to
802.1X.”
Thus, the correct recommendation is MPSK AES with Aruba Central Cloud Authentication, which fully supports per-device key uniqueness, centralized management, and cloud-based authentication-ideal for IoT device onboarding.
Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:
* A. MPSK AES with ClearPass:Valid and secure, but requires an on-prem ClearPass Policy Manager deployment. The question specifies a simpler method for IT Helpdesk to manage keys directly, which Cloud Authentication provides natively.
“ClearPass MPSK requires policy manager integration; Aruba Central Cloud Authentication provides a simpler cloud-native alternative.”
* C. MPSK Local:Suitable for small static environments, but not scalable and requires manual key creation on the AP or gateway. Does not allow IT staff to easily generate new keys per device via Central.
“MPSK Local does not support centralized lifecycle management or key revocation.”
* D. MPSK AES with MAC Auth:MPSK already handles per-device authentication via unique keys; MAC authentication is unnecessary and less secure.
“MAC authentication is an alternate method for non-802.1X devices but is not required with MPSK.” References of HPE Aruba Networking Switching Documents or Study Guide:
* Aruba Central Cloud Authentication and MPSK Deployment Guide – “Configuring MPSK AES with Cloud Authentication.”
* Aruba Wi-Fi 6 and IoT Integration Best Practices Guide – “Securing IoT with Cloud-Managed MPSK.”
* ArubaOS 10 WLAN Configuration Guide – “MPSK Modes (Local, ClearPass, Cloud Authentication) and Use Cases.”

Q52. You configured” a bridgedmode SSID with WPA3-Enterprise and EAP-TLS security. When you connect an Active Directory joined client that has valid client certificates. ClearPass shows the following error.

What is needed to resolve this issue?

Enable authorization in your Authentication Method.

Recreate the SSID m tunneled mode.

Modify your ACX-AD authentication source to include the UPN in the search.

Configure ClearPass to trust the client certificate.

Q53. You created a new SSID with the security settings shown in the exhibit.

Some, but not all users complain that client devices are unable to connect to this SS1D. What is the reason for this?

The WPA3 Enterprise GCM-2S6 mode does not support transition mode.

WPA3 Enterprise is not backward compatible with WPA2 Enterprise.

MAC authentication after a failed 802. ix authentication is not possible as the option “MAC Authentication Fall-Through” is disabled.

The primary servers shared key differs from the shared key configured for this server on HPE Aruba Networking Central.

Q54. in a WLAN network with a tunneled SSID. you see the following events in HPE Aruba Networking Central:

The customer asks you to investigate log messages What should you tell them?

This indicates a security issue. The client with a MAC address ending with 37 18;0d Is performing a Denial-of-Service attack on your network. You should track down the client and remove it from the network.

This is normal, expected behavior. No further actions are needed.

This indicates a client WLAN driver issue for the client with a MAC address ending with 37:18
:Od. You should upgrade the client WLAN driver.

There is a roaming issue Enable Fast Roaming 802.11r and OKC to resolve the issue.
