HP Exam HPE6-A84 Topic 6 Question 41 Discussion

According to the Aruba Cloud Authentication and Policy Overview1, one of the prerequisites for configuring Cloud Authentication and Policy is to configure Device Insight (client profile) tags in Central. Device Insight tags are used to identify and classify IoT devices based on their behavior and characteristics.These tags can then be mapped to client roles, which are defined in the WLAN configuration for IAPs2. Client roles are used to enforce role-based access policies for the IoT devices. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect because NetConductor is not related to Cloud Authentication and Policy. NetConductor is a cloud-based network management solution that simplifies the deployment and operation of Aruba Instant networks.

Option C is incorrect because integrating Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) and Device Insight is not a prerequisite for setting up the device role mappings. CPPM and Device Insight can work together to provide enhanced visibility and control over IoT devices, but they are not required for Cloud Authentication and Policy.

Option D is incorrect because creating global role-to-role firewall policies in Central is not a prerequisite for setting up the device role mappings. Global role-to-role firewall policies are used to define the traffic rules between different client roles across the entire network, but they are not required for Cloud Authentication and Policy.
