HPE Aruba Certified WAN Associate (ACWA) — Question 37

Which must be taken into account if a customer wants to use the DHCP collector with 802.1X authentication?

Answer options

• A. When a client sends an authentication request to ClearPass, the profiler will also gather DHCP information.
• B. Because DHCP fingerprinted is a Layer-3 function, it cannot be used with an 802.1X authentication service.
• C. The client needs to connect to an open network first to be profiled, then shifted to the secure 802.1x network.
• D. The client needs to be granted limited access before the enforcement policy can take into account the device type.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because it highlights that the profiler collects DHCP information concurrently with authentication requests. Option B is incorrect as DHCP fingerprinting can function alongside 802.1X. Option C is wrong because it incorrectly suggests the need for an open network connection before secure authentication. Option D is not accurate since limited access is not a prerequisite for the enforcement policy to recognize the device type.
