HPE Edge-to-Cloud Solutions — Question 11

A customer is interested in a Synergy solution. They need 100 compute modules and expect the workload to double in two years.
They ask for the minimum number of management ports they will need to connect Synergy frames into their management network.
How should you reply?

Answer options

• A. FLMs from all frames connect into a management ring, and the management ring connects into their management network with two uplinks.
• B. FLMs from all frames connect to two external switches, and these two switches connect into their management network.
• C. Synergy solution only allows 15 frames to be interconnected, so growth in customer's workload is not supported.
• D. The RJ-45 ports on the front of each frame are connected to an external switch, which is connected into their management network.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as it describes the ideal setup where FLMs connect in a management ring with two uplinks for redundancy and optimal management. Option B suggests a less effective method of connecting through two switches, which may not provide the necessary redundancy. Option C incorrectly states the limitation of frame interconnection, while option D does not provide a robust management solution.
