Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A02 exam

Question #: 15
Topic #: 12

A company wants to use HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) to profile Linux devices. You have decided to schedule a subnet scan of the devices' subnets. Which additional step should you complete before scheduling the scan?

ASet up SSH accounts on CPPM and map them to the Linux devices' subnets.

BEnable WMI probing in the cluster-wide parameters.

CEnable the Data Port in the ClearPass server settings and connect that port to the network.

DConfigure SNMP in the network device settings for the switches that support the Linux devices.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Subnet Scan Requirements for Profiling:

For ClearPass to scan and profile devices in a subnet, the Data Port must be enabled on the ClearPass server and connected to the network.

This ensures that ClearPass can send and receive the required packets for device discovery and profiling.

Option Analysis:

Option A: Incorrect. SSH accounts are not required for subnet scanning.

Option B: Incorrect. WMI probing is for Windows systems, not Linux devices.

Option C: Correct. The Data Port is essential for subnet scans and must be properly configured and connected.

Option D: Incorrect. SNMP is used for network device monitoring, not Linux device profiling.

I'm not sure, but maybe enabling WMI probing could also be helpful.
