Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH, legacy) — Question 44

Which option is correct when using Virtual Switching System to combine two physical switches into one logical switch?

Answer options

• A. Both control planes forward traffic simultaneously.
• B. Only one control plane is active, while the other control plane is in standby.
• C. Only one data plane forwards traffic, while the other data plane is in standby.
• D. Control planes are combined into one virtual control plane.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because, in a Virtual Switching System, the control planes of the physical switches work together as a single virtual control plane to manage traffic. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they misrepresent the functionality of the control planes and data planes in a Virtual Switching System setup.
