Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH, legacy) — Question 73

A network engineer must propose a scalable enterprise campus access-distribution design model. Which two scaling factors are the most important to be considered for the Virtual Switching System model? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. VSS stops VLAN spanning to the access switches.
• B. Both VSS nodes are active from control-plane perspective.
• C. STP must be implemented as a loop-avoidance mechanism.
• D. VSS eliminates the need to implement FHRP for each VLAN.
• E. STP root and FHRP primary must be tuned at the same node.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers, C and D, highlight the importance of STP for loop prevention and the simplification of FHRP configuration provided by VSS. Options A and E do not pertain to critical scaling considerations, while B is more about the operational state rather than scalability.
