HP Exam HPE7-A07 Topic 1 Question 33 Discussion

The fallback role is used as a default role in the absence of a specified role or when an authentication server is not available. Given the scenario, where the test device with MAC address 81:cd:93:13:ab:31 needs to be assigned to 'iot-prod' and other devices to 'iot-default', and considering there is no external authentication server configured for the test, the appropriate action would be to set a global fallback role that applies to all devices connecting to the network. This ensures that any device that does not match the specific device profile will inherit the 'iot-default' role. Since the configuration for a specific MAC address (81:cd:93:xx:xx:xx) to associate with the 'iot-prod' role is already in place, setting the fallback role globally accommodates the requirement for other devices.
