HPE6-A41 Exam - Question 27


Two switches are members of a Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) fabric.

Which statement correctly describes how the switches handle routing?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

Only the commander runs routing protocols and builds the IP routing table, but it programs the standby member to route traffic. VSF uses a distributed forwarding and routing model where the commander handles the routing protocols and builds the routing table. This information is then synchronized with the standby member, allowing the standby to independently route traffic without all routed traffic having to pass through the commander, thus enhancing efficiency.

Correct answer is A: the commander runs protocols and builds forwarding tables, all traffic does not need to pass through it. Instead traffic is forwarded much more efficiently. VSF uses a distributed forwarding and routing model. The members in the VSF virtual device synchronize forwarding and routing tables, but each member forwards frames or routes packets independently.
