HPE0-V25 · Question #65
A customer needs new switches that are stackable, Layer 2, and provide PoE. Which switch should you recommend?
The correct answer is C. CX 6200F. CX 6200F satisfies all three requirements simultaneously: it is a fixed-form Layer 2 access switch, supports stacking (allowing multiple units to be managed as one), and offers PoE for powering devices like IP phones and APs. Why the distractors are wrong: A. CX 6400 - A…

Explanation
CX 6200F satisfies all three requirements simultaneously: it is a fixed-form Layer 2 access switch, supports stacking (allowing multiple units to be managed as one), and offers PoE for powering devices like IP phones and APs.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A. CX 6400 - A modular chassis switch built for core/aggregation roles; not a stackable fixed-form unit.
- B. CX 6100 - An entry-level access switch that lacks stacking support, disqualifying it despite having PoE.
- D. CX 6300 - A Layer 3 switch with full routing capabilities; it exceeds the Layer 2 requirement and is the wrong tier for this use case.
Memory tip: Think of the "F" in 6200F as "Floor-level stacking" - it's the access-layer (floor) switch that stacks, runs Layer 2, and powers devices via PoE. When a question demands all three of stackable + L2 + PoE, the 6200F is the Aruba answer.
