HPE Aruba Certified Professional (ACP) – SD-WAN — Question 130

After enabling 802.1X authentication on all switch ports connected to AOS10 access points, users joining SSIDs in bridge mode no longer receive an IP address. Users of tunnel mode SSIDs are unaffected. What should be done to resolve the issue?

Answer options

• A. Enable device auth-mode for the assigned AP role.
• B. Increase the client-limit value on all ports to 99.
• C. Enable MAC authentication on all switch ports.
• D. Configure 802.1X on all client devices.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Enabling device auth-mode for the assigned AP role allows the access points to properly authenticate devices connecting in bridge mode, thereby resolving the IP address issue. The other options do not directly address the problem of 802.1X settings affecting bridge mode connections.
