HPE6-A49 Exam - Question 23


Refer to the exhibit.

An architect needs to design the topology for a new wired network at a campus with three buildings. The exhibit above shows the cabling layout.

The customer requires link redundancy at all layers, up to one switch-to-switch link can fail without an effect on client connectivity. The architect has determined that the closet of each floor should have three Aruba 2930M switches, and the core will use Aruba 5406 switches.

The aggregation layer, if used, will use Aruba 3810M switches. However, the customer prefers the elimination of the aggregation layer and has asked the architect to advise the impact of the elimination of this layer.

Where would the elimination of the aggregation layer require rewriting?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The elimination of the aggregation layer requires rewiring in all of the buildings. Each floor’s wiring closet needs to support full redundancy, which means each closet should have direct connections to the core switches in the data center. With three switches per closet and each switch requiring two redundant links, all buildings must have sufficient fiber strands to accommodate these connections without relying on an intermediate aggregation layer.
