HPE Aruba Certified Network Security Expert (ACNSX) — Question 1

What is correct regarding rate limiting and egress queue shaping on AOS-CX switches?

Answer options

• A. Only a traffic rate and burst size can be defined for a queue
• B. Limits can be defined only for broadcast and multicast traffic
• C. Rate limiting and egress queue shaping can be used to restrict inbound traffic
• D. Rate limiting and egress queue shaping can be applied globally

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because rate limiting and egress queue shaping on AOS-CX switches specifically allow for the definition of a traffic rate and burst size associated with a queue. Options B and C are incorrect as they misrepresent the scope and application of these features, while D is also incorrect because while these features can be applied, they do not necessarily apply globally.
