HPE Aruba Certified Switching Professional (ACSP) — Question 25

A company has two ArubaOS switches, Switch1 and Switch2. Switch1 will be the commander for a new Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) fabric. Switch2 is a new switch that will be the standby member. The network administrator wants to configure the proper settings on the standby member interface before the standby member joins the fabric.
What should the administrator do before the switches are joined in the VSF fabric?

Answer options

• A. Configure the interface settings on Switch2. Then enable VSF on Switch2.
• B. Enable VSF on Switch2. Then configure the interface settings on Switch2.
• C. Provision member2 on Switch1. Then configure the member2 interface settings on Switch1.
• D. Provision member2 on Switch1 and member1 on Switch2. Then configure the member2 interface settings on Switch2.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because provisioning both members ensures that Switch2 is correctly recognized in the fabric and can have its settings configured accurately. Options A and B fail to provision the switch correctly before configuration, which is essential for proper integration. Option C only addresses Switch1 and does not involve Switch2, which is necessary for the standby member setup.
