HPE Aruba Certified Central Associate (ACCA) — Question 24

A network is configured with two 2930F switches as the aggregation layer. Each 2930F switch has ten connections. The network has twenty 2530 access switches connected to both aggregation switches with 1Gb RJ45. Your task is to replace the aggregation switches with CX 6200 models.
In this scenario, which configuration would provide redundancy using two ports on the access switches to the aggregation layer?

Answer options

• A. Create VSF on the CX 6200 and a lag for CX 6200 and 2530.
• B. Create a single domain VSF for CX 6200 and 2530.
• C. Create a lag on the 2530 to connect to both CX 6200 switches.
• D. Create VSF on the CX 6200 and use stacking with the 2530.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because creating a Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) on the CX 6200 allows both switches to operate as a single logical unit, enhancing redundancy. Options B, C, and D do not provide the same level of redundancy or failover capability as A, making them less effective for this scenario.
