HPE6-A71 Exam - Question 42


An administrator at Campus A manages Aruba Mobility Controllers (MCs). The administrator defines a server group that includes a local ClearPass server and a remote Microsoft RADIUS server. The ClearPass server has the credentials for users at Campus A and the Microsoft RADIUS server has the credentials for users at Campus Ð’. Users at Campus A successfully authenticate and connect to the Campus A wireless network. However, when users from Campus Ð’ visit Campus

A they fail authentication.

What can the administrator do to solve this problem?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

To solve the problem where users from Campus B visiting Campus A fail authentication, the administrator needs to enable FastConnect on the Campus A Mobility Controllers. FastConnect allows the Mobility Controllers to terminate 802.1X authentication directly on the controller itself rather than forwarding it to an external RADIUS server. This feature is beneficial in scenarios where an 802.1X EAP compliant RADIUS server is not available or required for authentication.

D is correct, In Aruba user-centric networks, you can terminate the 802.1X authentication on the managed device. The managed device passes user authentication to its internal database or to a backend non-802.1X server. This feature, also called AAA FastConnect, is useful for deployments where an 802.1X EAP compliant RADIUS server is not available or required for authentication.

I think none of the above. this looks like it should be about server groups and enabling fail-through
