HPE Virtual Connect Solutions v4 — Question 23

A customer is planning to deploy a branch office server rack. The environment will have the following requirements:
✑ Single rack with 20 HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Servers.
✑ Each Server will have 6 x 10G SFP+ Ports.
✑ Each Server will have a dedicated iLO port.
✑ The customer requires that only two switches be used.
✑ The customer requires separate control planes.
Which switch configuration can meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. 2 ֳ— HPE 5945 Series switch with IRF
• B. 2 ֳ— Aruba 8325 Series switches with VSX
• C. 2 ֳ— HPE 5945 Series switches standalone
• D. 2 ֳ— Aruba 8325 Series switches with backplane stacking.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because using two standalone HPE 5945 Series switches allows for separate control planes, which is a requirement. The other options either involve stacking or IRF configurations that do not meet the need for distinct control planes.
