HPE6-A71 Exam - Question 5


An administrator supports a RAP at a branch office. A user's device that is attached to the Ethernet port is assigned an 802.1X AAA policy and is configured for tunneled node.

How is the user's traffic transmitted to the corporate office?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

When a Remote Access Point (RAP) is used at a branch office, the traffic from the user's device is encapsulated by GRE and protected with IPSec. This ensures that data is securely transmitted across potentially insecure networks, such as the internet, to the corporate office. GRE encapsulation aids in the tunneling of various network layer protocols, while IPSec provides encryption and secure communication.

B Correct --> The RAP may have extra wired ports, also configured in tunnel mode, to support end-user connectivity. These users are also assigned a corporate IP address. However, their traffic will be encrypted by the RAP with IPsec and decrypted by the MC. Official Study Guide

D. GRE and AES encrypted from wifi part "However, you can configure a double encryption option to have the RAP encrypt all traffic."

D correct -> since it is not mentioned that double encryption is enabled, traffic from client is AES (client side) encrypted and sent only inside GRE tunnel (not IPSec)
