HP Exam HPE7-A02 Topic 10 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A02 exam
Question #: 7
Topic #: 10
[All HPE7-A02 Questions]

HPE Aruba Networking switches are implementing MAC-Auth to HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) for a company's printers. The company wants to quarantine a client that spoofs a legitimate printer's MAC address. You plan to add a rule to the MAC-Auth service enforcement policy for this purpose. What condition should you include?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

MAC Spoofing Detection with Endpoint Conflict:

When two devices attempt to use the same MAC address, ClearPass identifies a Conflict state in the Endpoints Repository.

This condition can be used to detect and quarantine clients that spoof legitimate devices.

Option D: Correct. The Conflict EQUALS true condition identifies devices with duplicate MAC addresses.

Option A: Incorrect. Endpoint compliance checks posture, not MAC spoofing.

Option B: Incorrect. Device Insight Tags are used for profiling but do not identify conflicts.

Option C: Incorrect. Compromised devices relate to security incidents, not MAC address conflicts.

This is a tricky one, but I reckon the 'Authorization: [Endpoints Repository] Compromised EQUALS true' option is the way to go. Gotta catch those sneaky spoofing devices!

Haha, this question is a real brainteaser! I'm going to have to think on this one for a bit. Maybe I'll just go with 'Endpoint Device Insight Tag EXISTS' and see what happens.

I'm not sure, but I think B) Endpoint Device Insight Tag EXISTS could also be a valid condition to include.

I agree with Leonora, if the client is spoofing a legitimate printer's MAC address, it should be considered compromised.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't 'Authorization: [Endpoints Repository] Conflict EQUALS true' be a better choice? If there's a MAC address conflict, that's a clear sign of a spoofed device.

'Endpoint Device Insight Tag EXISTS' could also be useful to identify the client. It's important to consider all options.

But what if the client is not compliant with the endpoint policy? Maybe 'Endpoint Compliance EQUALS false' should also be considered.

I think 'Authorization: [Endpoints Repository] Conflict EQUALS true' would be a good choice. It can help detect spoofed devices.

I'd go with 'Authorization: [Endpoints Repository] Compromised EQUALS true'. Detecting a compromised device is key to quarantining it.

The 'Endpoint Compliance EQUALS false' option seems like the way to go. If a client is spoofing a printer's MAC, it's probably not compliant with the network policies.

That makes sense, it would help identify non-compliant clients trying to spoof MAC addresses.
