HP Exam HPE7-A07 Topic 8 Question 39 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A07 exam

Question #: 39
Topic #: 8

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'?

AThe test device does not support CDP.

BThe device-profile precedence order is not configured.

CAn external RADIUS server is unreachable.

DThe LLDP system description matches the IIdp-group configuration.

Show Suggested 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 remember something about device profiles and how they can be influenced by LLDP settings, but I'm not sure if that's the main issue here.

This looks like a good opportunity to apply my knowledge of device profiling and LLDP. I'll start by analyzing the device attributes and then consider the possible reasons why the "iot-dev" role is being applied instead of the "lot-prod" role. I'm confident I can work through this step-by-step.

I'm a bit confused by this one. The information provided seems straightforward, but I'm not sure which of the options is the correct answer. I'll need to carefully read through the question and the answer choices to figure out the best approach.

Ah, this is a good one. I think the key here is to understand how the device-profile assignment works and check if the "lot-prod" role is properly configured. I'll need to review the LLDP and device-profile settings to identify the root cause.

Okay, let's see here. The device has the right MAC address and LLDP system description, so it seems like the issue might be with the device-profile precedence order or an external RADIUS server problem. I'll need to analyze those possibilities.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the device attributes and configuration details to figure out what's causing the "iot-dev" role to be applied.
