HPE Aruba Certified WAN Associate (ACWA) — Question 15

Which option supports DHCP profiling for devices in a network?

Answer options

• A. DHCP profiling is enabled on ClearPass by default; configuration of DHCP relay on the Network Access Device (NAD) is not required.
• B. Configuring DHCP relay on ClearPass in order to allow the client to receive DHCP after being profiled.
• C. Enabling the DHCP server to profile endpoints and forward the meta-data to ClearPass.
• D. Enabling DHCP relay on Network Access Devices (NADs) to forward DHCP requests to ClearPass.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because enabling DHCP relay on NADs allows DHCP requests to be forwarded to ClearPass, which is essential for proper DHCP profiling. Option A is incorrect as it implies no configuration is needed, which is not true. Option B incorrectly suggests that DHCP relay needs to be configured on ClearPass itself, while C misrepresents the role of the DHCP server in this process.
