ACSP Aruba Certified Switch
Professional EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
In Aruba supports frontplane stacking capability better known as __________? -
ANSWER>>Virtual Switching Framework
What Aruba platform switch series support dedicated backplane stacking
modules and cables? - ANSWER>>The 2930M and 3810M switch series
True or False. Stacking modules are hot-swappable; the switch remains
powered and modules can be installed or removed. - ANSWER>>False. Stacking
Modules are not hot swap
Recommended stack topology for the 2930M is a ____________________ -
ANSWER>>Ring Topology
A stack operating without the additional link between the first and last
members is described as _____________________-? - ANSWER>>A chain.
What is the recommendation to provision a new backplane stack? -
ANSWER>>it is recommended that all prospective stack members start powered
down in a factory default state.
Scenario #1 Customer is setting a pair of 5406Rs. While configuring the
commander for VSF, they receive the message 'VSF capabilities are not
supported on port A23'. - ANSWER>>Aruba 5400R zl2 Switch series) requires
,that VSF Link Interface's member ports are either 10 Gbps or 40 Gbps (not a
mix). 1 Gbps ports were/are not supported in 5400R
A stack operating without the additional link between the first and last
members is described as ___________-- - ANSWER>>Chain
In Automatic provisioning how is the commander elected? - ANSWER>>the first
stack member to boot or highest priority if provisioned
What is the recommendation to provision a new backplane stack (fabric
stacking)? - ANSWER>>it is recommended that all prospective stack members
start powered down in a factory default state.
What are the requirements for 2930M Pair backplane stacking deployment? -
ANSWER>>Ring topology; both stack ports are used on each member;
What are the steps for automatic provisioning? - ANSWER>>1-Factory default all
switches,
2-install modules and connect cables
3-power and booth member-1 (desired commander),
4- and then powering up the next member(s) in sequence.
In automatic provisioning, is an alternative, once the first stack member has
been booted, the remaining members of the stack can be pre-provisioned to
ensure that they are assigned specific member IDs regardless of the order in
which they are powered up and connected to the Commander -
ANSWER>>Backplane Strict Provision (only performed once the commander is
up)
When is appropriate to add member-specific interfaces, VLANs, and other
settings in a backplane stack deployment? - ANSWER>>Once members have
been provisioned, member-specific interface, VLAN, and other settings can also
be configured prior to adding the new members to the stack.
, When a stack commander election occurs, the member with the _________ is
selected as Commander, and the ________ is selected as Standby. -
ANSWER>>highest; second highest
What commands sets stacking member priority; and when is this configured? -
ANSWER>>During strict provision sequence priority parameters can be set once
commander is online; During automatic provisioning priority settings can be set
once all members are part of the stack.
In the event of a backplane split stack, what technology can mitigate the event?
- ANSWER>>OoBM member discovery. In order to mitigate the effects of a split-
stack scenario, the out-of-band management (OoBM) ports on all members
should be connected to a common upstream device, which will allow stack
member discovery to take place in the event of a hardware failure that splits the
stack.
Which address assignment allows an administrator to open a stack management
session using a common IP address regardless of which member is acting as the
commander. - ANSWER>>Global OoBM. Having all stack OoBM ports connected
is the ability to configure a global OoBM management address and default
gateway for the entire stack, allowing an administrator to open a stack
management session using a common IP address regardless of which member is
acting as the commander. (require upstream device)
Which switch series support the ability to use front panel switch ports to link
switches in a 'virtual' stack? - ANSWER>>The 2930F and 5400R switch series
support the ability to use front panel switch ports to link switches in a 'virtual'
stack using the VSF feature
What are the VSF link aggregation rules for each series? - ANSWER>>Maximum
8 links for both 5400R and 2903F; 5400R, up to eight 10G or 40G ports can be
