HPE Aruba Certified Switching Expert (ACSX) — Question 37

Why can't the Onguard posture check be done during 802.1x authentication?

Answer options

• A. Onguard uses TACACS so an additional service must be created.
• B. 802.1x is already secure so Onguard is not needed.
• C. Health Checks can't be used with 802.1x.
• D. Onguard uses RADIUS so an additional service must be created.
• E. Onguard uses HTTPS so an additional service must be created.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because Onguard operates using HTTPS, which requires a separate service to manage its operations during the authentication process. Options A, B, C, and D are incorrect as they either misrepresent the protocols involved or do not accurately describe the relationship between Onguard and 802.1x authentication.
