As part of the Zero Trust framework, our objective is to authenticate, authorize, and profile every device connecting to the network. To accomplish this, we’ll use ClearPass to handle the authentication of the Aruba Access Points (APs).

In this technical note, I’ll focus on Aruba AOS10 APs that are managed through Aruba Central. These APs will be authenticated using 802.1X and they will leverage their built-in Trusted Platform Module (TPM) device certificate to perform EAP-TLS authentication when connecting to CX switches.
