HP Exam HPE7-A07 Topic 1 Question 33 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A07 exam

Question #: 33
Topic #: 1

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?

AEnter the command 'pot-access device-profile mode block-until-profile-applied'' for interface 1/1/1.

BEnter the command 'port-access fallback-role lot-default globally

CEnter the command 'port-access onboarding-method precedence' to set device profiles with a lower precedence.

DEnter the command 'port-access device-profile mode block-until-profile-applied' globally.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

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.

I agree with Noah. The question specifies a lab environment with no external authentication server, so the global configuration is the way to go.

B: That makes sense, it ensures that any device connected to interface 1/1/1 gets the 'lot-default' role.
