A company wants you to integrate HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) with HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Device Insight (CPDI). What is one aspect of the integration that you should explain?

When HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) is integrated with HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Device Insight (CPDI), CPPM sends its collected endpoint attributes (e.g., from RADIUS, DHCP) to CPDI. CPDI uses this data, along with its own advanced analysis from network traffic, to classify the device. If there is a discrepancy between CPPM's initial profile and CPDI's final classification, CPDI is considered the authoritative source. The refined and more accurate classification from CPDI is then synchronized back to the CPPM Endpoint Repository, overwriting any previous classification.

A. CPPM's native profiler features are not disabled; they work in conjunction with CPDI by providing the initial set of endpoint attributes for analysis.
B. The integration is configured using APIs and service parameters within CPPM, not by designating CPDI as an audit server, which serves a different function.
C. Disabling security analysis is not a requirement for integration; this analysis is a core, value-added feature of the ClearPass Device Insight platform.

1. HPE Aruba Networking. (2020). ClearPass Device Insight Integration with ClearPass Policy Manager TechNote. Page 4, "Integration Overview" states, "ClearPass Policy Manager is the source of truth for all endpoint context. ClearPass Device Insight is the source of truth for device classification."

2. HPE Aruba Networking. (2020). ClearPass Device Insight Integration with ClearPass Policy Manager TechNote. Page 5, "Data Flow" section and diagram illustrate that CPPM sends endpoint context to CPDI, and CPDI sends the final classification back to update the CPPM Endpoint Repository.

3. HPE Aruba Networking. (2020). ClearPass Device Insight Integration with ClearPass Policy Manager TechNote. Page 11, "How Device Insight Classifies Devices" explains that CPDI uses attributes from CPPM plus its own collected data to perform classification, which is then updated in the CPPM Endpoint Repository.
