[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.

Agreed, D makes sense. It's all about that match.

I think it's D. The LLDP description matches the group.

Nah, it’s definitely the LLDP description causing this.

I think the device-profile precedence order might be off too.

Wait, could it be the RADIUS server? Seems odd.

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

Wait, so an unreachable RADIUS server could cause this?

Definitely a config issue with the device-profile precedence.

The LLDP sys-desc is set to "iotcontroller".

What if the RADIUS server is down? I feel like that could also lead to the wrong role being applied, but I need to double-check that.

I'm leaning towards option D because the LLDP sys-desc seems to match the configuration, but I could be wrong.

I think we practiced a question similar to this where the device profile precedence was a factor. Could that be the issue?

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