HPE6-A49 Exam - Question 11


Refer to the exhibit.

A customer needs a wired upgrade for a building on its main campus. The exhibit shows the switches that architect has selected for each closet and the existing cabling. The customer is not open to changing the cabling.

The customer requires link redundancy for the uplinks from each closet and for the links from the building to the core. In non link failure situations, the uplinks from each closet must support at least 20 Gbps, and the building as a whole must have at least 20 Gbps to the core in non link failure situations.

Which options for connecting the closets to the network core are valid? (Select two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BE

Option B is valid because adding two aggregation switches in the Floor 1 closet allows for redundancy and provides enough uplink capacity by connecting the switch stack for each closet to the aggregation switches on two fiber links each, and the aggregation switches to the core on two fiber links. This meets the requirements of link redundancy and 20 Gbps minimum bandwidth in non-failure situations. Option E is also valid because it connects Floor 2 and Floor 3 switch stacks to Floor 1 with two fiber connections each, and then connects the Floor 1 switch stack to the network core with two fiber connections. This setup ensures redundancy and meets the 20 Gbps minimum bandwidth requirement from the building to the core. Options A, C, and D do not fully meet the redundancy and bandwidth requirements as specified.

agreed B & E.. and B simply because you don't have enough sfp ports without it.
