HPE Aruba Certified Network Security Expert (ACNSX) — Question 87

An administrator is designing an access layer solution in a data center. A key requirement is to dual-home mission-critical server connections to two different switches, ensuring that the servers always have network access, even during switch software upgrades. This feature should support strictly-controlled provisioning.
What would best meet the administrator's needs when deploying AOS-CX switches?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, VSX, as it allows for active-active connections between switches, providing redundancy and ensuring continuous network access during upgrades. Options A (VSF) and D (NAE) do not offer the same level of dual-homing and redundancy needed for mission-critical servers, while B (Dynamic segmentation) pertains to traffic management rather than switch connectivity.
