HPE Aruba Certified Network Security Expert (ACNSX) — Question 3

A company has implemented 802.1X authentication on AOS-CX access switches, where two ClearPass servers are used to implement AAA. Each switch has the two servers defined. A network engineer notices the following command configured on the AOS-CX switches: radius-server tracking user-name monitor password plaintext aruba123
What is the purpose of this configuration?

Answer options

• A. Implement replay protection for AAA messages
• B. Define the account to implement downloadable user roles
• C. Speed up the AAA authentication process
• D. Define the account to implement change of authorization

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The command is designed to speed up the AAA authentication process by allowing the switch to track and authenticate users more efficiently. Options A and B do not accurately describe the purpose of this command, as it does not involve replay protection or defining roles. Option D is also incorrect because it does not relate to change of authorization.
