Arista Certified Engineer – Associate (ACE-A) — Question 9

Which command will successfully configure Ethernet5 to be 40Gbps on an Arista 7150-52 switch?

Answer options

• A. An Arista 7150-52 dos not support 40Gbps
• B. Since Ethernet 5 is a 10Gbps port, 40Gbps is not possible.
• C. Arista(config-if-Et5)#speed forced 40gfull
• D. Arista(config-if-Et5)#speed 40gfull

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the command specifically uses 'forced' to ensure the speed is set to 40Gbps. Option A incorrectly states that the switch does not support 40Gbps, while option B incorrectly claims that 40Gbps is impossible due to the port's current speed. Option D is incorrect because it does not include 'forced', which is necessary for setting the speed in this case.
