HPE6-A45 Exam - Question 80


A company requires AOS-Switches at the campus core. The switches:

✑ Will act as the default gateways for several campus VLANs

✑ Must provide redundancy for their services and tolerate the loss of a link or an entire switch

✑ Must recover from the failure of one of the switches within a second or less

VRRP and MSTP are proposed to meet these requirements. What is an issue with this proposal?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

To meet the specified requirements, the switches must recover from the failure of one of the switches within a second or less. VRRP typically takes longer than a second to fail over, which would not satisfy the requirement for quick recovery. Hence, the issue with the proposal is that VRRP takes longer than a second to fail over.

It is surely D because MSTP and VRRP works together. This is from my experience within many projects.

C. MSTP and VRRP doesn´t interoperate. MSTP does not alter VRRP status/negotiation and vice versa.

D. VRRPv3 is capable of heartbeats in milliseconds, but AOS-Switch supports only 1-second intervals even in VRRPv3.
