Which feature regarding a FlexLink design is true?

Question

Options

• AIt permits VLANs to extend across access switches that connect to a common aggregation
• BAll of the uplinks are in active state.
• CThe aggregation layer is aware of FlexLinks.
• DIt optimizes the access switch density.

• A
  92% (24)
• B
  4% (1)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

FlexLinks is a Cisco Layer 2 redundancy feature that serves as an alternative to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). It works by configuring one uplink as active and one as standby on an access switch. A key capability is that it allows VLANs to be load-balanced across uplinks, effectively permitting VLANs to extend across access switches that connect to a common aggregation switch. Option B is false because FlexLinks uses an active/standby model - only one uplink is active at a time per VLAN (though different VLANs can use different uplinks for load balancing). Option C is false because FlexLinks is entirely configured on the access switch and the aggregation layer has no awareness of it. Option D is false because FlexLinks is a redundancy mechanism, not a feature that affects switch density.
