Hello Experts, we have an old server and we need to reinstall clearpass SW. Could anyone please share 6.6 or 6.7 or 6.8 or 6.9 clear pass SW ?

Just bought ap-325 in a campus mode. Where can I find instant firmware to convert it ? Is it possible to download it without hpe account ? I see that 8.10 is not available to download on their site. Are there any reliable mirrors?

Or maybe easier is to flash openwrt there ?

Hello community!

I am studying for my ACCP but I cannot download the image from HPE directly as I am not a partner, or reseller. All I want to do is use the evaluation license to run some labs prior my certification attempt. That way, I know for certain that I would have experience with the solution.

I am already familiar with Cisco ISE solution, but I am trying to expand my knowledge in NAC solutions.

Can someone tell how can I get that image so I can run it in Hyper V? This is only for study purposed.

Does anybody have experience configuring Clearpass to ingest Threat Syslog from Palo Alto? I am struggling to get Clearpass to correctly parse the Syslog and was wondering if anybody has an example definition/format for the Palo Alto as well as Clearpass side that has worked before. Currently I see the logs making it to the Clearpass IngressProc log but everything is stuck in the “message” field and unable to parse the logs.

Hi,

we recently updated our FortiGate to 7.4.12 and directly afterwards the username+password authentication through Clearpass Radius Authentication stopped working:

MSCHAP: AD status:{Access Denied} A process has requested access to an object but has not been granted those access rights. (0xc0000022)
MSCHAP: Authentication failed
EAP-MSCHAPv2: User authentication or password change failed

The EAP-TLS Authentication from domain joined clients and mdm smartphones still work perfectly.

Right before the update everything worked fine with the username+password authentication.

Anyone has an idea what can be the problem here?

Best regards

Hi All,

I have over 300+ Aruba AP managed in Aruba central. I trying to figure out how to extract all 300+ AP uplink port speed but i cannot find it.

Anyone can help with this?

Just a quick query, so I’d like to move an existing port that has a PCs & Phones connected.

Currently it’s an access port for the phone vlan.

So my thoughts are trunk (tag) the Phone traffic and native vlan the PC vlan.

Now I can see currently we don’t use the voice command under the voice vlan itself.

Therefore without confirming phones themselves aren’t configured with vlan, how would the phone know which vlan to be on, tagged or untagged? I can see lldp-med it just currently shows vlan id:0.

Is there a way to confirm how the phone works using the switch config alone?

I've got a very weird problem and I'm not sure what is causing it. We run clearpass for wireless/wired connections and using TLS certs on the Windows 11 systems. We've got a few different models of laptops and the onboard wired network adapter will not authenticate, it gives an error of "a certificate could not be found that can be used with EAP". The weird thing is if we plug these same laptops into a dock or USB-C ethernet adapter they will authenticate fine. It is just something with the onboard NIC but that doesn't make any sense.

Hi everyone,

After months of labbing and studying, i am finally going to take this 6 hour exam this monday(10/08/2026).

I took the official course for this exam and i have to say it was pretty dissapointing... The theory part was just an AI reading the official study guide, which, as you may have imagined, is as entertaining as stomping your head on the wall for 4 hours straight.

The lab course was fairly good and not that difficult, however, the "trouble tickets" or "mock exam" exercises were extremely hard, basically you have to troubleshoot multiple issues and you are not able to use any show run commands, you need to be figuring out everything via debugs and show commands....Its not like they were impossible to figure out but oh boy did they take time.... And i dont think they set 6 hours time for this exam for nothing....

I would like to ask some of you what's been your experience with aruba networking practical exams... Will i be able to use show run commands? what kind of devices am i supposed to work with? CXsimulator ? Is the program expecting a specific string for example lag 256 for a specific answer? Will i be able to access CPPM? or Central?

I suppose i will find out this monday and letting you guys know....

This is the network topology i've been working with, it does not include the ZTP AND OTP and all the wifi part since that is not virtualizable and i have no access to central. There is quite a few things i've not been able to lab like VSF, real QOS traffic, or some vxlan features.

If any of you is learning and want some advice i will be happy to share some tips for setting up the environment.... there is also this really lab guide by some aruba guy...https://airheads.hpe.com/discussion/using-the-aos-cx-switch-simulator-lab-guides pretty solid.

If any of you has taken any hpe practical exam (or this one lol) please do share your experiences....

Wish me luck!
