A company assigns a different block of VLAN IDs to each of its access layer AOS-CX switches. The switches run version 10.07. The IDs are used for…

To simplify the setup of 802.1X authentication with HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager

(CPPM) and ensure clients are steered to the correct VLANs for local forwarding, you should assign

consistent names to VLANs of the same type across the AOS-CX switches and have user-roles

reference these names. This approach allows for a more straightforward configuration and

management process, as the user roles can apply consistent policies based on VLAN names rather

than specific IDs. It also helps in maintaining clarity and reducing errors in VLAN assignments across

different switches.

Reference: Aruba's AOS-CX configuration guides and ClearPass integration documentation emphasize

the importance of using consistent naming conventions and user-role configurations for efficient

network management and security enforcement.
