JNCIE-SP: Juniper Networks Certified Expert – Service Provider (2021) — Question 9

Which two characteristics describe the deployment of high-density chassis switches in a data center? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. In EoR deployments, the switches are consolidated in one location.
• B. The switches consume a great deal of power, cooling, and space.
• C. In ToR deployments, the switches provide more port connections, but with lower speeds.
• D. More switches are often needed to accommodate the number of server connections.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because high-density chassis switches indeed require substantial power, cooling, and space due to their design and functionality. Option D is also correct as these deployments often necessitate additional switches to manage the numerous server connections effectively. Options A and C are incorrect; A describes a specific deployment strategy that does not universally apply to high-density switches, and C inaccurately represents the typical performance characteristics of ToR deployments.
