HPE Aruba Certified Switching Professional (ACSP) — Question 5

A network administrator has copied new software to an ArubaOS switch and placed this software in the secondary flash location. The switch is currently booting from the primary location. The administrator wants the switch to start using the new software.
What should the administrator do to accomplish this?

Answer options

• A. Reboot the switch, which automatically causes the switch to use the newer software.
• B. Execute the command to boot the system from the secondary flash.
• C. Rename the secondary software as the primary software.
• D. Copy the secondary software to the primary software slot.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as executing the command to boot from the secondary flash directly instructs the switch to use the new software. Option A is incorrect because simply rebooting does not guarantee the switch will use the new software unless configured to do so. Options C and D are also incorrect as they do not directly address the requirement to boot from the secondary flash.
