You are migrating a customer's distribution layer from Cisco Catalyst 3560 switches to HP A7500 Series switches. You are not planning the Layer 3 migration. The Cisco switches use Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) and the HP switches will use Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF), which will allow the multiple switch stack to function as redundant default gateways for the LAN's subnets.You task with the customer and determine that you will not be able to gain access to other network systems such as DHCP servers nor firewalls and other security devices.Which general method should you select for migrating routing functionality?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. Configure the VLAN IP addresses on the IRF configured HP switches using the same HSRP virtual addresses; disable the Cisco switch VLAN interfaces at the same time that you enable the corresponding VLAN interface on the master IRF HP switch.

Answer

A. Migrate the Cisco distribution switches to VRRP; configure IRF on the HP switches and have them preempt the active role on each VLAN.

Answer

B. Configure the HP switches as members of the HSRP groups; have the HP switches preempt the active role; migrate the HP switches to IRF.

Answer

C. Configure VRRP on the HP switches using different virtual IP addresses from the ones used by the Cisco switches; change users' endpoints' default gateway address to the appropriate VRRP address; disable the Cisco switch VLAN interfaces.
