What is the recommended bandwidth of a VSX Inter-Switch Link?
The correct answer is C. It should be equal or higher than the speed of the uplink. The VSX Inter-Switch Link (ISL) must support all traffic that may need to traverse between the two VSX peers during convergence or asymmetric forwarding. Aruba recommends sizing the ISL equal to or greater than the uplink speed, ensuring sufficient bandwidth for peak forwarding…
Question

Explanation
The VSX Inter-Switch Link (ISL) must support all traffic that may need to traverse between the two VSX peers during convergence or asymmetric forwarding. Aruba recommends sizing the ISL equal to or greater than the uplink speed, ensuring sufficient bandwidth for peak forwarding without creating an ISL bottleneck.
