HPE Aruba Certified Mobility Professional (ACMP) — Question 104

A network administrator needs to create a backplane stack with four AOS-Switches. The administrator wants to choose which switch becomes the commander.
Which procedure meets those needs?

Answer options

• A. Boot all of the switches at the same time and then connect the backplane stacking links. Then, access the desired commander, and make sure it has member ID 1.
• B. Configure backplane switches settings on each switch while disconnected. Make sure the desired commander has priority value 1. Then, connect the switches.
• C. Boot up the desired commander first and make sure stacking is enabled on it. Then, connect the stacking links and boot the other switches.
• D. Configure backplane switching settings on each switch while disconnected. Make sure the desired commander has member ID 1. Then, connect the switches.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because configuring the backplane settings while the switches are disconnected allows for the desired commander to have a member ID of 1, which is crucial for stacking. Options A and C do not guarantee the proper identification of the commander before connecting the switches, and option B sets a priority value instead of a member ID, which is not the correct method for establishing the commander in this scenario.
