HPE Virtual Connect Solutions v4 — Question 52

Which protocol verifies that the ports in common between two switches have compatible settings and removes the likelihood of a misconfigured aggregated link?

Answer options

• A. RPVST+
• B. LACP
• C. GVRP
• D. 802.1q

Correct answer: B

Explanation

LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) is designed to allow the automatic configuration of link aggregation between switches, ensuring that the ports are compatible and properly configured to prevent misconfigurations. RPVST+ is a spanning tree protocol, GVRP is used for VLAN registration, and 802.1q is a VLAN tagging protocol, making them unsuitable for verifying aggregated link settings.
