HPE6-A73 Exam - Question 3


A network administrator needs to replace an antiquated access layer solution with a modular solution involving AOS-CX switches. The administrator wants to leverage virtual switching technologies. The solution needs to support high-availability with dual-control planes.

Which solution should the administrator implement?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

The AOS-CX 6400 is the correct solution because it is a modular switch that supports virtual switching technologies and high-availability with dual-control planes. It is specifically designed for access and aggregation layers in network environments, which matches the requirement of replacing the antiquated access layer solution with a modular one. The AOS-CX 6400 also supports technologies like VSX, which provides the necessary high-availability and dual-control plane functionality.

I think the answer is C because 8325 is not modular like 6400

The answer seems to be C: (See pages 4 & 13) - 6300 can't perform dual-plane (VSX) - Neither the 8325 nor the 8400 are modular - Neither the 8325 nor the 8400 are for the access layer

a bit correction... 8400 is modular

I would have gone C. 6400 is intended for access layer and has support for VSX for dual control planes.

C: Correction - the key part of the question says virtual switching which is VSF so the only device listed is the 6400 - disregard my previous answer.

Mark key words, 'access layer', 'modular', 'high-availability', so only 6400

I think it is C as the CX 6400 is an access/aggregation layer switch, has dual plane capability and is modular. See https://www.arubanetworks.com/assets/ds/DS_6400Series.pdf

D: the Aruba 6400 switch series does not support high-availability with dual-control planes. The Aruba 6400 series switches are fixed-configuration switches designed for access and aggregation deployments in campus networks. While they offer advanced features and performance, including support for 10GbE and 40GbE interfaces, they do not incorporate dual-control planes for redundancy and high availability. However, Aruba offers other switch series, such as the Aruba 5400R zl2 and Aruba 8400, that do provide dual-control planes for enhanced resiliency. These series are typically targeted for more demanding network environments where high availability and redundancy are critical. If you require high availability and dual-control planes, it is recommended to consider the Aruba 5400R zl2 or Aruba 8400 series switches or consult the official Aruba documentation to explore other switch models that meet your specific requirements.
