HPE Aruba Certified Campus Access Professional (ACAP) — Question 11

A customer has critical wired endpoints and wants to minimize the chances they will lose their connection to the network. These endpoints are dual-homed, each with two Ethernet connections that are in a link aggregation.
The architect plans to deploy two 5406R switches in the closet.
What else should the architect specify in the plan?

Answer options

• A. The 5406R switches are in a VSF fabric; each switch has redundant power supplies, but not redundant management modules.
• B. The 5406R switches are not in a VSF fabric; each switch has redundant power supplies but not redundant management modules.
• C. The 5406R switches are not in a VSF fabric; each switch has redundant power supplies and redundant management modules.
• D. The 5406R switches are in a VSF fabric; each switch has redundant power supplies and redundant management modules.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because having the 5406R switches in a VSF fabric with both redundant power supplies and redundant management modules provides high availability and minimizes downtime. Options A and B lack redundancy in management modules, which could lead to a single point of failure. Option C does not utilize the benefits of a VSF fabric, which enhances overall network resilience.
