Refer to the exhibit.
The above scenario shows a packet from the Server destined for the Firewall. Switch-A and Switch-B are bundled as VSF stack. The LAG between the VSF stack and the firewall indicates a hash function to forward the packet on port 2/1/2.
Which statement is true regarding how Switch-A will forward the packet?
Switch-A will forward the packet on port 1/1/2. In a VSF (Virtual Switching Framework) setup, the typical LAG (Link Aggregation Group) hash function is overridden, and the switch prefers to use its own local links instead of using the VSF links. This means that Switch-A will use its local link (port 1/1/2) to forward the packet rather than sending it to Switch-B for it to be forwarded on port 2/1/2.
A is correct.
I believe A is correct.
A is correct. VSF will override lag hash functions.
A is correct VSF will override the typical LAG hash function used for the physical interface selection.
A is indeed correct
A is correct.
Load Balancing will happen by default over the VSF. It's interesting to note that with Aruba switches, front plane stacking, such as VSX and VSF uses shortest-path forwarding by default. This means that if there is an upstream / downstream LAG it will take this path first before using the load balancing hashing algorithm. the hashing algorithm kicks in if there is more than one uplink / downlink port on a single member VSF/VSX switch. The reason for shortest-path forwarding (I just made up that term - not sure what we call it inside Aruba) is it reduces the potential traffic across the VSF/VSX links as traffic will prefer the direct path, not the ISL path. This can play an important part in the design of VSF/VSX as you might not need 8 ports between your member switches - but it depends what your uplinks are and how much east-west traffic there is.
A is correct answer, Page 466 Student guide VSF overrides the typical LAG hash function used for physical interface selection. VSF member prefers to use their own local links, and to avoid using VSF links. If the member has multiple local links in the aggregation, then it uses the typical hashing mechanism to choose between those
Study Guide Page 460 -> "A VSF fabric is similar to any switch configured with link aggregation. It learns MAC addresses on a logical LAG entity, as opposed to the physical interfaces. It selects one LAG member linkforforwarding each conversation. However, VSF overrides the typical LAG hash function used for physical interface selection. VSF member prefers to use their own local links, and to avoid using VSF links. If the member has multiple local links in the aggregation, then it uses the typical hashing mechanism to choose between those. "
A is correct, because override hash function..
VSF override LAG hash
A, VSF overrides LAG hash
