HP Exam HPE7-A07 Topic 1 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A07 exam

Question #: 7
Topic #: 1

A customer is evaluating device profiles on a CX 6300 switch. The test device has the following attributes:

* MAC address = 81:cd:93:13:ab:31

* LLDP sys-desc = iotcontroller

The test device is being assigned to the ''lot-dev'' role However, the customer requires the "lot-prod'' role be applied.

Given the configuration, what is causing the "iot-dev" role to be applied to the device'?

AThe test device does not support CDP.

BThe device-profile precedence order is not configured.

CAn external RADIUS server is unreachable.

DThe LLDP system description matches the IIdp-group configuration.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

In device profile configuration, the device role is often determined by matching attributes such as MAC address, LLDP system description, and CDP information against defined conditions. The test device is being assigned the 'iot-dev' role because its LLDP system description matches the 'iot-lldp' group configuration that is associated with the 'iot-dev' role.

So, it could be a combination of both the LLDP system description and the profile precedence order?

That could be a possibility too. Maybe the order needs to be adjusted for the correct role.

I believe the issue lies with the device-profile precedence order not being configured.

But what about the device not supporting CDP? Could that be a factor?

I think the LLDP sys-desc matching the lldp-group profile is causing the issue.

Candidate 2: Yeah, that could be another reason for the role assignment discrepancy.

Candidate 1: It could also be that the device-profile precedence order is not properly configured.

Candidate 4: I don't think it's due to an unreachable RADIUS server, so option C can be ruled out.

I'm still a bit confused about the device-profile precedence order. Isn't that also a factor in how the role is assigned?

Yeah, that makes sense. Maybe the 'iot-dev' role has some limitations or restrictions that the customer doesn't want for this device.

Hmm, good point. Maybe the customer wants the device in the 'lot-prod' role for some specific reason. Could be a security or performance requirement.

I agree with Sophia. The LLDP system description is the most likely cause here. But I wonder why the customer wants the 'lot-prod' role instead?

I think the answer is D. The LLDP system description 'iotcontroller' matches the 'iot-dev' role configuration, so that's why it's being applied to the device.

I think so too, the LLDP system description plays a key role here.

This question seems straightforward, but I'm not sure about the answer. The LLDP system description seems to be the key here, but I'm not sure if that's the only factor.
