HPE Aruba Certified Network Security Expert (ACNSX) — Question 5

An administrator will be replacing a campus switching infrastructure with AOS-CX switches that support VSX capabilities. The campus involves a core, as well as multiple access layers. Which feature should the administrator implement to allow both VSX-capable core switches to process traffic sent to the default gateway in the campus VLANs?

Answer options

• A. VRF
• B. VRRP
• C. IP helper
• D. Active gateway

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Active gateway, which allows for shared gateway functionality across VSX-capable switches, ensuring seamless traffic handling. VRF, VRRP, and IP helper serve different purposes, such as routing isolation, redundancy in gateway IP addresses, and forwarding broadcasts to DHCP servers, but do not provide the same capability for VSX traffic processing.
