HPE6-A71 Exam - Question 38


An administrator needs to authenticate users connected to an ArubaOS-Switch where the switch authenticates the user, assigns the firewall policies to the user, and processes some of the users' traffic. Which connection method should the administrator configure on the ArubaOS-Switch?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

The correct connection method on the ArubaOS-Switch for authenticating users, assigning firewall policies, and processing some of the user's traffic is 'Per-user tunneled node'. This method allows the switch to tunnel traffic based on per-user client basis, considering user roles and policies that could be assigned through a RADIUS server like ClearPass or by local user authentication in the switch.

The correct answer is B. Refer to the "Per User Tunneled Node" whitepaper: "The per-user tunneled node feature builds on top Aruba’s per-port tunneled node. The per-port tunneled node feature allowed the switch to tunnel traffic to an Aruba controller on a per-port basis. The per-user tunneled node feature now gives the capability to tunnel traffic on a per-user client basis, tunneling traffic of a given client based on user role. The policies associated with that client could be driven through a RADIUS server such as ClearPass or by local user authentication in the switch."

I am inclinded to agree it should be "B" Per User fits better. This is not port based.

Correct Answer is "B". ACMP Guide page 374 states: User-based authentication is done from the Aruba switch. Plus read page 367 Table 16-1.
