Show Answer
Correct Answer: B,E

Additionally, VSX operates with separate control planes for each member, reducing latency and improving performance by enabling each switch to manage its own control functions independently.

No, all switches >= 6400 have VSX support. So AOS-CX 6400/6405/6410/8320/8325/8360/8400/9300/10000 supports VSX.

B/E: Yes, Aruba VSX runs separate control planes to reduce latency and improve performance. The distributed architecture of Aruba VSX enables each member of the virtual switch to have its own dedicated control plane, which helps to reduce latency and improve overall network performance. Yes, Aruba VSX allows upgrading members with near-zero downtime or loss of packets. This is because Aruba VSX uses a distributed architecture that allows for hitless software upgrades, where software can be upgraded on one member at a time without affecting the operation of the other members. This means that network administrators can upgrade the software on individual members of the virtual switch without any disruption to the overall network operation.
