Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH, legacy) — Question 74

An engineer is redesigning the infrastructure for a campus environment. The engineer must maximize the use of the links between the core and distribution layers.
By which two methods can this usage be maximized? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Design with multiple unequal-cost links between the core and distribution layers.
• B. Design the links between the core and distribution layers to use an IGP.
• C. Design with multiple equal-cost links between the core and distribution layers.
• D. Design the links between the core and distribution layers to use HSRP.
• E. Design the links between the core and distribution layers to use RPVSTP+.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Using multiple equal-cost links (option C) allows for load balancing, enhancing bandwidth utilization. Configuring links with an IGP (option B) facilitates dynamic routing, optimizing traffic flow. The other options either do not effectively maximize link usage or focus on redundancy rather than capacity.
