AP-120 SERIES CONFIGURATIONCLEARPASS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWorks over any vendor’s network: ClearPass easily and securely extends Aruba’spolicy definition and enforcement capabilities, allowing Aruba customers to defineand implement policies across multivendor wireless networks, switches, routers, andclients. As a result, Aruba can now delivery policy and role-based network access forany organization without the cost and complexities of other solutions while alsoproviding full-featured device posture assessment and profiling.Security visibility and reporting: ClearPass extends Aruba’s AirWave RF visibility tonow include comprehensive security visibility and forensics needed to pinpoint rootcauses for network access issues, per user bandwidth concern and known endpointvulnerabilities.18. How does ClearPass integrate with Aruba’s mobility controller appliance or virtualcontroller with Instant?Although ClearPass can be used on any vendor’s wireless, wired, and remote network,there are inherent advantages to using Aruba access networks for policy enforcement.With the Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) capabilities that reside on the MobilityController appliance and Instant virtual controller, policies that are defined on ClearPasscan be mapped directly to firewall roles on the controller. These firewall roles can thentake a variety of actions to improve the security and reliability of the network.Other access networks will typically enforce policies by defining VLANs or downloadingAccess Control Lists (ACLs) within switches and routers. This doesn’t work very well in amobile environment because it maps to a VLAN centric architecture. Because VLANsweren’t designed for policy enforcement, their use is limited and they are very difficult tosetup and maintain.19. How does ClearPass differ from AirWave? Do I need both?Aruba’s AirWave product is designed to provide management and visibility for mobilenetworks and connected users. AirWave is a network management system that employs auser-centric approach, identifying who is on the network, where they are accessing thenetwork, the mobile devices they’re using, and how much bandwidth is being consumedby specific devices.ClearPass compliments a network management system like AirWave by providingcomprehensive management and reporting of security and policy transactions across thenetwork. ClearPass also provides advanced troubleshooting and forensics needed topinpoint root causes for network access issues and known endpoint vulnerabilities.ARUBA NETWORKS CHANNEL PARTNER CONFIDENTIAL – DO NOT DISTRIBUTE PAGE 14
AP-120 SERIES CONFIGURATIONCLEARPASS ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS20. What are the key target markets for ClearPass?Enterprise-class RADIUS/AAA services, robust policy management, dynamic deviceprovisioning and advanced guest access capabilities make ClearPass suitable for anyorganization that wants to modernize their network access security infrastructure toaccommodate enterprise-wide mobility and employee BYOD initiatives. This wouldinclude the following examples:K-12 and higher education institutions – District-wide or campus-wide accessdifferentiation, visibility, troubleshooting and manageability that is easy to use anddeploy.Healthcare clinics and hospitals – Mobile device and role-based user authenticationwith long-term archiving by user session to assist with HIPAA compliancerequirements.Large enterprises, distributed enterprises – Scalability to manage tens of thousandsauthentications; devices and mobile users with centralized, single-console operations.Retail organizations – Field-proven multisite support with integrated role-based policyassignment, monitoring and PCI compliance reporting.Government – Consolidation of policies across departments regardless of identitystore type or administrative ownership, for wired and wireless access.21. Can ClearPass be deployed on existing networks or does the customer have to upgradeto Aruba wired and wireless?The ClearPass Access Management system is the industry’s first and only independentplatform for policy management, network access control, and BYOD provisioning andonboarding. While there are advantages when deployed with Aruba wirelessinfrastructure, Aruba ClearPass can be deployed with any existing network infrastructurefrom any major vendor.22. Is ClearPass easy to deploy?ClearPass Policy Manager is a very easy to use/deploy solution which includes many toolsto assist in deployment including a configuration wizard, pre-configured templates, andpolicy simulation to name a few.23. What are some of the opportunities to position ClearPass?The ClearPass Policy Manager can be used for RADIUS upgrades as a number of olderstandalone solutions from Cisco and Juniper have reached end-of-life (EOL).The Policy Manager can be used where other vendors’ network access controlsolutions require a proxy to an enterprise-class RADIUS server.ARUBA NETWORKS CHANNEL PARTNER CONFIDENTIAL – DO NOT DISTRIBUTE PAGE 15
