Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) — Question 309

A company needs to increase access port capacity on one floor of a building. They want to leverage the existing catalyst access switch. There is no problem with uplink bandwidth capacity. However, no additional uplinks can be added because no ports are available on the distribution switches. Which solution must the company choose to provide additional access ports?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Stackwise, as it allows multiple switches to operate as a single unit, effectively increasing the number of access ports without needing additional uplink ports. Options A (VDC) and B (VSS) are not suitable since they do not directly provide additional access ports in this scenario, and C (Etherchannel) is focused on aggregating links rather than increasing the number of access ports.
