352-001 · Question #801

You are hired to design a solution to improve network availability for users on a campus network with routed access. Which two recommendations should you make in your design proposal? (Choose two)

The correct answer is A. standby route processors for SSO in the access switches C. redundant power supplies in the access routers. Improving availability in a routed access campus design requires hardware-level redundancy at the access layer, including SSO-capable route processors and redundant power supplies.

Why each option

Improving availability in a routed access campus design requires hardware-level redundancy at the access layer, including SSO-capable route processors and redundant power supplies.

Astandby route processors for SSO in the access switchesCorrect

Standby route processors configured for SSO (Stateful Switchover) in access switches allow seamless failover without dropping routing adjacencies or user sessions, directly protecting availability for end users at the access layer in a routed access design.

Bstandby route processors for SSO in the core routers

SSO in core routers improves core-layer resilience but does not address the access layer, which is where user connections terminate in a routed access model.

Credundant power supplies in the access routersCorrect

Redundant power supplies in access routers eliminate single points of hardware failure at the power level, ensuring that a single power supply failure does not take down the switch and disconnect users.

Dstandby route processors for SSO in the distribution routers

SSO in distribution routers improves distribution-layer availability but does not directly protect the access switches that serve end users in a routed access design.

Ereplace copper links between devices with fiber links

Replacing copper with fiber reduces media-related failures but does not provide the processor or power redundancy needed to maintain routing and availability during hardware faults.
