Discuss Palo Alto Networks SSE-Engineer Exam Topic 4 Question 22

When a review of devices discovered by IoT Security reveals network routers appearing multiple times with different IP addresses, which configuration will address the issue by showing only unique devices?

AAdd the duplicate entries to the ignore list in IoT Security.

BMerge individual devices into a single device with multiple interfaces.

CCreate a custom role to merge devices with the same hostname and operating system.

DDelete all duplicate devices, keeping only those discovered using their management IP addresses.

Suggested Answer: B

When network routers appear multiple times with different IP addresses in IoT Security, it is likely because they have multiple interfaces with separate IPs. Merging these entries into a single device with multiple interfaces ensures that the system correctly identifies each router as a unique entity while maintaining visibility across all its interfaces. This approach prevents unnecessary duplicates, improves asset management, and enhances security monitoring.

Option D seems risky. Deleting might lose important data.

I agree, but option B could work too. Multiple interfaces are common.

I think option C is the best. Merging by hostname makes sense.

A is just a band-aid solution, we need to fix the root cause.

Are we sure merging is the right approach? Sounds risky.

Wow, I didn't know routers could show up with different IPs like that!

I disagree, D is more straightforward.

Option C seems like the best choice for merging duplicates.

Deleting duplicates sounds straightforward, but what if we lose important data? I’m torn between options B and D.

I feel like creating a custom role could help, but I can't recall if it would actually solve the duplication issue effectively.

I remember practicing a question where we had to decide between ignoring duplicates or merging them. Ignoring seems risky, though.

I think we discussed something similar in class about managing duplicate devices, but I'm not sure if merging them is the best approach.
