HPE6-A47 Exam - Question 17

Scenario:

An architect proposes these products for a customer who wants a wireless and wired upgrade:

✑ Aruba 2930M switches at the access layer

✑ Aruba 5406R switches at the core

✑ Aruba AP-325s

✑ Aruba 7205 Mobility Controllers (MCs), deployed in a cluster

✑ Aruba Mobility Master (MM)

✑ Aruba ClearPass Cx000V

✑ Aruba AirWare

The architect also needs to propose a security plan for the solution. The customer has 900 employees and up to 30 guests a day. The customer wants to protect the internal perimeter of the network with authentication and simple access controls. The customer is most concerned about wireless security, but also wants to ensure that only trusted users connect on the wire. However, the customer also wants all wired traffic to be forwarded locally on access layer switches. The customer already has a third-party firewall that protects the data center.

The customer wants to use certificates to authenticate user devices, but is concerned about the complexity of deploying the solution. The architect should recommend a way to simplify. For the most part users connect company-issued laptops to the network. However, users can bring their own devices and connect them to the network. The customer does not know how many devices each user will connect, but expects about two or three per-user. DHCP logs indicate that the network supports a maximum of 2800 devices.

Refer to the provided scenario. Which ClearPass licenses should the architect include in the proposal?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BC

Given the scenario, the architect should propose 3,000 Access licenses and 1,000 Onboard licenses. The company network supports up to 2,800 devices, which aligns with the 3,000 Access licenses requirement since each device consumes one Access license. The Onboard licenses are required for the users who will authenticate their devices using certificates. Since there are 900 employees and up to 30 guests per day, estimating around 1,000 Onboard licenses would be appropriate to accommodate all users. Thus, 3,000 Access licenses and 1,000 Onboard licenses would cover the necessary requirements for both devices and user authentication. Therefore, option C is correct.

C is correct. Access requires one per regardless of authentication type. On board is one per user

C is correct - Access License is per device - So approximately 2800 is needed. Onboard License is per User - So approximately 930 is needed

Agree with C... ACDP official certification study guide chapter 5 states: "if a user is authenticated on more than one endpoint at the same time - such as a laptop and a smartphone - each endpoint uses one Access license."

Access — The Access license accounts for authentications on the system, and is now based on actual current usage — that is, each user or device consumes an Access License during an active session. The Access License is also no longer associated with an appliance, and Guest functionality is now included in this license. It is available as either a perpetual license, or as a one year, three year, or five year subscription license. The minimum number of Access licenses is 100. * Onboard — Each Onboard Application License is now computed based on the number of users with Onboard-generated device certificates rather than on the user’s number of enrolled devices. It is available as either a perpetual license, or as a one year, three year, or five year subscription license. The minimum number of Onboard licenses is 100.
