HP Exam HPE7-A07 Topic 1 Question 9 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A07 exam
Question #: 9
Topic #: 1
[All HPE7-A07 Questions]

A customer is planning to add loT devices that connect wirelessly to the existing 802.1X SSlD. The customer will use ClearPass to authenticate the IoT devices by MAC address but other devices will still need to authenticate by only 802 1X

Exhibit.

The customer provided the current configuration and reported their non-loT 802. IX devices are no longer able to connect. Which configuration change can be made to fix the issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The existing configuration for the WLAN ssid-profile has enabled MAC authentication which, while suitable for IoT devices that may not support 802.1X, can interfere with the normal 802.1X authentication process for other devices. By removing the mac-authentication directive from the WLAN configuration, the non-IoT 802.1X devices should be able to connect without issues as the authentication process will not be disrupted by MAC authentication checks. This adjustment ensures that the WLAN ssid-profile is correctly aligned with the authentication requirements for both IoT and non-IoT devices within the network environment, conforming to the best practices for mixed-device WLAN configurations.

Well, option A seems logical. WPA3 can sometimes cause compatibility issues.

To me, it makes sense to add i2-auth-fairthrough. Option B.

I think it's more about the security mode. Option A might be correct, changing to WPA2-AES.

I'm leaning towards option C, removing mac-authentication might help.

Yeah, it's about adding IoT devices to an 802.1X SSID using ClearPass.

The exam question is quite technical. Feels a bit challenging.
