A customer is evaluating device profiles on a CX 6300 switch. The test device has the following attribute:
* MAC address=81:cd:93:13:ab:31
The test device needs to be assigned the "lot-prod'' role, in addition the "lot-default" role must be applied for any other device connected lo interface 1/1/1. This is a lab environment with no configuration of any external authentication server for the test.
Given the configuration example, what is required to meet this testing requirement?
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.
