HPE6-A49 Exam - Question 18


A customer has critical wired endpoints and wants to minimize the chances they will lose their connection to the network. These endpoints are dual-homed, each with two Ethernet connections that are in a link aggregation.

The architect plans to deploy two 5406R switches in the closet.

What else should the architect specify in the plan?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

To minimize the chances of losing network connectivity for critical wired endpoints, a high availability solution should be implemented. Deploying the two 5406R switches in a VSF (Virtual Switching Framework) fabric ensures that they work together as a single logical device, enhancing redundancy and failover capabilities. Additionally, having redundant power supplies and redundant management modules in each switch further ensures that the network remains operational even if one component fails. This setup provides both link and equipment redundancy, offering maximum reliability for critical endpoints.

pfft, confusing.. A or D VSF does have redundant mgmt modules.. just only a single ACTIVE one... Still, seems answer A is intended.
