HP Exam HPE7-A07 Topic 7 Question 23 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A07 exam

Question #: 23
Topic #: 7

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.

I bet the customer just wants to play 'Let's Confuse the Network Admin' with this question. Option D is the right answer, though.

Ha! The customer is trying to trick the device into being 'lot-prod' when it's clearly an 'iotcontroller'. Nice try, buddy.

Exactly, the device profile is based on the LLDP system description.

That's why the 'iot-dev' role is being applied.

But could it also be because the device-profile precedence order is not configured?

D is the correct answer. The LLDP system description is used to assign the device profile, and it's matching the 'iot-dev' configuration, not the 'lot-prod' role the customer requires.

I agree with Raymon, that's probably why the 'iot-dev' role is being applied.

The LLDP system description is the key here. The question clearly states that the device has the 'iotcontroller' LLDP system description, which must be matching the 'iot-dev' LLDP-group configuration.
