Frequently Asked Questions About HP Aruba Certified ClearPass Expert Written
The HPE6-A77 exam leads to the Aruba Certified ClearPass Expert (ACCX) certification, a Expert (ACCX)-level credential from HP. It validates the skills measured by the HP Aruba Certified ClearPass Expert Written syllabus and is a recognized step for IT professionals building their careers, and it sits alongside related credentials such as Aruba Certified ClearPass Expert Practical Exam (HPE0-A127P), Aruba Advanced Product Certified – ClearPass (HPE6-A88).
The HP Aruba Certified ClearPass Expert Written exam includes 60 questions and gives you 120 minutes to complete them. That works out to a fairly tight pace, so reading each question carefully but decisively matters more than perfectionism. If a question stalls you, flag it and move on; banking the easier points first keeps time pressure from snowballing near the end. Before test day, run at least one full timed session with the ValidVCE practice test so the rhythm feels familiar rather than rushed.
You need Not publicly disclosed (typically ~60-70% based on HPE exam norms) to pass the HPE6-A77 exam, and the official registration fee is USD ~199 (estimate) based on historical pricing. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying the full fee again to retake the exam, so it pays to be honest with yourself before booking a seat. A practical benchmark: work through the 60 practice questions at ValidVCE until you can score comfortably above the passing line in timed mode, then schedule your exam.

HP Aruba Certified ClearPass Expert Written Sample Questions:
A customer is planning to implement machine and user authentication on infrastructure with one Aruba Controller and a single ClearPass Server What should the customer consider while designing this solution?

- B. The machine authentication status is written in the Multi-master cache on the ClearPass Server for 24 hrs.
- C. Machine Authentication only uses EAP TLS, as such a PKI infrastructure should be in place for machine authentication.
- D. The customer does not need to worry about Multi-Master Cache Survivability because the Controller will also cache the machine state.
- E. The Windows User must log off, restart or disconnect their machine to initiate a machine authentication before the cache expires.
- F. Onboard must be used to install the Certificates on the personal devices to do the user and machine authentication.
Correct Answer: B,C,F 🗳️

A customer has a ClearPass cluster deployment with four servers, two servers at the data center and two servers at a large remote site connected over an SD-WAN solution The customer would like to implement OnGuard, Guest Self-Registration, and 802.1x authentication across their entire environment. During testing the customer is complaining that users connecting to an Instant Cluster Employee SSID at the remote site, with the OnGuard Persistent Agent installed are randomly getting their health check missed.
What could be a possible cause of this behavior?
- A. The traffic on the TCP port 6658 is congested due to the fact that this port is also used by the IPsec keep-alive packets of the SD-WAN solution.
- B. The OnGuard Clients are automatically mapped to the Policy Manager Zone based on their IP range but an ACL on the switch could be blocking access.
- C. The ClearPass Policy Manager zones have been defined but the local IP sub-nets have not been property mapped to the zones and the OnGuard Agent might connect to any of the servers in the cluster.
- D. The Aruba-user-role received by the IAP is filtering the TCP port 6658 to the ClearPass servers and after 10 seconds the SSL fallback gets activated and randomly generates the issue.
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
