HPE6-A88 practice question 6 of 10

An IT administrator needs to ensure that guest receipts for registrations are sent through both email and SMS simultaneously. They have already configured the email relay. What additional step must they take to meet this need?

Answer options

A: Set up an external SMTP server to handle both email and SMS notifications.

B: Configure the SMS Gateway under ClearPass Guest by clicking the Configure SMS Gateway link in the Messaging Setup window. Correct answer

C: Enable the dual messaging feature in the ClearPass security settings.

Correct Answer:

B. Configure the SMS Gateway under ClearPass Guest by clicking the Configure SMS Gateway link in the Messaging Setup window.

Explanation

To send SMS receipts, an SMS transport must be configured in Messaging Setup. In the ClearPass Guest Admin UI, navigate to Messaging ➜ Setup and click “Configure SMS Gateway” to define an HTTP, SMPP, or email-to-SMS gateway. Once added, guest receipts can be delivered simultaneously via the already-configured email relay and the SMS gateway.

Why Incorrect

A. SMTP handles email only; SMS requires a gateway (HTTP/SMPP), not another SMTP server.
C. No “dual messaging” toggle exists; simultaneous delivery is enabled automatically once both email and SMS transports are configured.
