HP Exam HPE7-A01 Topic 8 Question 23 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A01 exam
Question #: 23
Topic #: 8
[All HPE7-A01 Questions]

Your Director of Security asks you to assign AOS-CX switch management roles to new employees based on their specific job requirements. After the configuration was complete, it was noted that a user assigned with the auditors role did not have the appropriate level of access on the switch.

The user was not allowed to perform firmware upgrades and a privilege level of 15 was not assigned to their role. Which default management role should have been assigned for the user?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is B. sysops.

The sysops user role is a predefined role that allows users to perform system operations on the switch, such as backup, restore, upgrade, or reboot. The sysops user role also has access to the PUT and POST methods for REST API, which can be used to modify the switch configuration. The sysops user role has a privilege level of 15, which is the highest level of access on the switch1.

The other options are incorrect because:

A) sysadmin: The sysadmin user role is a predefined role that allows users to view and modify the switch configuration using the CLI or the Web UI. The sysadmin user role does not have access to the REST API methods, and cannot perform firmware upgrades1.

C) administrators: The administrators user role is a predefined role that has full access to all switch configuration information and all REST API methods. This role is more than what the Director of Security requires1.

D) config: The config user role is a predefined role that allows users to view and modify the switch configuration using the CLI or the Web UI. The config user role does not have access to the REST API methods, and cannot perform firmware upgrades1.

I'm going with C) administrators. Seems like the auditors role should have had all the necessary permissions. Though I can't help but wonder if the Director of Security is secretly a movie villain, cackling over their poorly designed access controls.

Maybe the Director of Security needs to review the access controls again.

Yeah, it's strange that they couldn't perform firmware upgrades with that role.

This is a tricky one. I'd go with C) administrators, but maybe the Director of Security needs to rethink their role assignments. Whoever set this up must have been sleeping on the job!

D) config sounds like it could be the right choice. Isn't that the role for basic configuration tasks? Though I wonder if the auditors role should have been something more powerful.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The question mentions the user wasn't allowed to perform firmware upgrades, so maybe B) sysops would have been a better fit?
