The correct answer is D. Connect one uplink to each of the VSP 9000 switches to create a triangle and configure a SMLT with either. See the full explanation below for the reasoning.
Question
A customer has a edge switch connected to a cluster of VSP 9000 switches. The uplinks to the network core are via two Gigabit uplink ports. The uplinks are not aggregated and are running spanning tree protocol. The result is that one of the links is always being blocked, and recovery time is unacceptably long when the active uplink fails. They need to have both links active to increase the bandwidth to the core, and at the same time provide better redundancy. What is the preferred Avaya solution for the customer?
Options
- AConnect both of the uplinks to one of the VSP 9000 switches and disable spanning tree.
- BConnect one uplink to each of the VSP 9000 switches to create a triangle and use spanning tree protocol.
- CConnect one uplink to each of the VSP 9000 switches to create a triangle and configure a SMLT with either
- DConnect one uplink to each of the VSP 9000 switches to create a triangle and configure a SMLT with either
