  5. Question 5

    A network administrator is designing a high-availability solution for a campus core using Aruba CX 8325 switches. The design requires that both switches maintain independent control planes to allow for live upgrades without downtime, while presenting a unified Layer 2 interface to downstream access switches. Which technology should be deployed to meet these specific requirements?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    VSX (Virtual Switching Extension) is designed for the Aruba CX platform to provide high availability with independent control planes. This allows for live software upgrades (VSX Live Upgrade) where traffic continues to flow through one peer while the other upgrades, unlike VSF which shares a single control plane.

  6. Question 6

    An administrator needs to configure a new VLAN interface on an Aruba CX 6300 switch to act as the default gateway for the 'Finance' department. The subnet is 10.20.10.0/24 and the gateway IP should be the last usable address in the subnet. Which set of commands correctly configures this interface?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    In ArubaOS-CX, Layer 3 VLAN interfaces are configured using 'interface vlan X'. The last usable address in a /24 subnet (10.20.10.0-10.20.10.255) is .254. The 'no shutdown' command is often required to ensure the administrative state is up, although it may be up by default depending on the specific version and context, explicitly enabling it is best practice.

  7. Question 7

    You are troubleshooting an issue where an Aruba CX switch is not receiving configuration updates from NetEdit. You suspect an issue with the REST API access or the database synchronization. In the ArubaOS-CX architecture, which specific database is responsible for holding the current operating state and configuration of the system that NetEdit interacts with?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    ArubaOS-CX is built on a microservices architecture centered around the OVSDB (Open vSwitch Database). This state database holds all configuration and status information. NetEdit and other tools interact with the system via the REST API, which reads from and writes to this central OVSDB.

  8. Question 8

    A technician has replaced a failed switch in a VSF stack. After the new switch boots, it does not automatically join the stack. The administrator verifies that the VSF links are connected correctly. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    In VSF (Virtual Switching Framework), simply connecting cables is often not enough if auto-stacking isn't configured or if the replacement unit isn't clean. The new member usually needs to be provisioned (assigned a member ID) on the Commander, or auto-stacking features must be correctly set up for it to join automatically.
