HPE Aruba Certified Mobility Professional (ACMP) — Question 9

A company wants to implement 802.1X authentication to authenticate client devices on AOS-Switch ports. The company has a RADIUS server that uses PEAP
MSCHAP-v2 for the authentication method. What is one task administrators should complete before they implement the plan?

Answer options

• A. Set up an isolated VLAN in the network for the 802.1X communications.
• B. Install personal certificates on client devices.
• C. Configure DHCP services on the AOS-Switches for pre-authenticated clients.
• D. Ensure client devices trust the RADIUS server certificate.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Setting up an isolated VLAN is crucial for 802.1X communications as it enhances security and allows for proper segmentation of authenticated and unauthenticated traffic. The other options, while they may be relevant in certain contexts, do not address the immediate requirement of creating a dedicated environment for the 802.1X authentication process.
