Question 40
The HPE AOS-CX switching case is: A deployment team assumes a VSX peer pair has one shared software control plane and plans maintenance with no peer-specific validation. Select TWO: a corrective switching action and separate evidence that the correction worked. (Select TWO.)
Explanation
Correct Answers
The targeted correction for A deployment team assumes a VSX peer pair has one shared software control plane and plans maintenance with no peer-specific validation is: Choose VSF when supported switches should operate as one logical stack and VSX when supported peer platforms require dual-control-plane multichassis connectivity. It reduces the risk that treating VSX and VSF as synonymous can produce invalid cabling, platform selection and recovery expectations.
A separate operational validation for A deployment team assumes a VSX peer pair has one shared software control plane and plans maintenance with no peer-specific validation is: A topology review verifies selected switch models, expected management planes, ISL or stack links and documented failure behavior. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.
Incorrect Answers
This alternative concerns switch portfolio multicast qos and campus media feature support; its associated risk is: A device selected without verifying multicast and scheduling capabilities may flood unnecessary traffic or fail latency commitments after installation. The observed case A deployment team assumes a VSX peer pair has one shared software control plane and plans maintenance with no peer-specific validation requires the more specific vsf versus vsx portfolio capabilities control. The targeted action is: Choose VSF when supported switches should operate as one logical stack and VSX when supported peer platforms require dual-control-plane multichassis connectivity.
This alternative concerns optics interfaces and power portfolio constraints; its associated risk is: Unsupported optics or inadequate PoE and cooling may cause links to stay down even when a high-level product comparison looks acceptable. The observed case A deployment team assumes a VSX peer pair has one shared software control plane and plans maintenance with no peer-specific validation requires the more specific vsf versus vsx portfolio capabilities control. The targeted action is: Choose VSF when supported switches should operate as one logical stack and VSX when supported peer platforms require dual-control-plane multichassis connectivity.
This alternative concerns campus access switch portfolio and endpoint density; its associated risk is: Choosing an entry access switch from the lowest purchase price alone can strand powered endpoints or omit the needed uplink and stacking feature. The observed case A deployment team assumes a VSX peer pair has one shared software control plane and plans maintenance with no peer-specific validation requires the more specific vsf versus vsx portfolio capabilities control. The targeted action is: Choose VSF when supported switches should operate as one logical stack and VSX when supported peer platforms require dual-control-plane multichassis connectivity.
