HPE Aruba Certified Switching Professional (ACSP) — Question 7

Two switches are members of a Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) fabric.
Which statement correctly describes how the switches handle routing?

Answer options

• A. Only the commander runs routing protocols and builds the IP routing table, but it programs the standby member to route traffic.
• B. Both members build their own IP routing tables, which they synchronize. Only static IP routing is supported with VSF.
• C. Only the commander runs routing protocols and builds the IP routing table, and all routed traffic must pass through the commander.
• D. Both members run routing protocols and build their own IP routing tables, and they synchronize the tables over VSF links.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because in a VSF fabric, only the commander handles routing protocols and maintains the IP routing table, ensuring all routed traffic is directed through it. Options A and B misrepresent the roles of the commander and the standby, while option D incorrectly suggests both switches manage independent routing tables.
