Q: 7
Which set of attributes is used by IoT Security to identify and classify appliances on a network when
determining Device-ID?

B . Palo Alto focuses on MAC address, device manufacturer (from the OUI), and OS for IoT device classification. Device model or user credentials like in D aren't typically used for initial identification. Pretty sure about this but open to counterpoints.
Option B. MAC address, manufacturer, and OS are key for Device-ID in Palo Alto IoT Security. Pretty sure that's correct.
B , MAC address, manufacturer, and OS are what IoT Security mainly uses for device fingerprinting. User credential or firmware isn't part of Device-ID basics. Device model isn't unique enough. Pretty sure this matches the docs.
Had something like this in a mock, B is the Device-ID set. Pretty sure but open to other takes.
I get why D looks tempting, but it's B. Palo Alto uses the MAC address along with device manufacturer and OS for classifying IoT stuff, not credentials or firmware version. That's their fingerprinting method. Pretty confident, but if anyone's seen it done differently let me know.
B , saw a similar question in practice sets.
B tbh
B or D? Device management sometimes gets tricky since firmware versions feel unique, but Palo Alto usually relies on MAC/manufacturer/OS. Nitpicky, but question wording matters.
D , user credentials feel like a unique factor Palo Alto could use for device classification. B just seems too generic here.
Its B, MAC address, manufacturer, and OS are the main identifiers for Palo Alto's IoT Device-ID. Device model and firmware version might help for inventory but they're not used to uniquely classify devices at network level. Happy to hear a counterpoint if someone thinks otherwise.
