HPE7-A07 Exam - Topic 5 Question 43 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A07 exam
Question #: 43
Topic #: 5
[All HPE7-A07 Questions]

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'?

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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 thought CDP was the only protocol that mattered here.

No way, it's all about that LLDP match!

Wait, could it really be because the RADIUS server is down?

I think it's definitely the device-profile precedence order issue.

The LLDP sys-desc is "iotcontroller," so that matches the profile.

D) The LLDP system description match is the culprit here. Time to update that configuration!

Haha, the "iotcontroller" system description is a dead giveaway. Looks like the customer needs to update their LLDP-group settings.

Ah, the old LLDP system description trick! I bet the customer is kicking themselves for not double-checking that.

D) The LLDP system description matches the IIdp-group configuration.

The LLDP system description matching the configuration seems like a strong possibility. I think I saw a similar scenario in our study materials.

I feel like the RADIUS server being unreachable could cause issues, but I don't recall it being mentioned in this context.

I think we practiced a question where the device profile precedence was a factor. Could that be what's happening here?

I remember something about LLDP and how it can affect device profiling, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the main issue here.

I'm not sure about this one. The LLDP description matching the "iot-dev" role makes sense, but I'm also wondering if the device-profile precedence could be a factor. Might be worth double-checking that.

The question seems pretty straightforward to me. The LLDP system description is the obvious culprit here. I'd go with option D as the answer.

Hmm, the RADIUS server being unreachable could definitely be an issue. I wonder if that's causing the default "iot-dev" role to be used instead of the desired one.

I'm a bit confused about the device-profile precedence order. Is that something we need to configure to get the "lot-prod" role applied instead?

I think the key here is to look at the LLDP system description. The question says it matches the "iot-dev" role, so I'm guessing that's why that role is being applied.
