Their US-based headquarters HQ1 was refreshed last year based on the HPE Aruba Networking ESP architecture. You have created the design for HQ2 based on the same design as HQ1, a two- tier architecture. The high level is shown below. Switch BOM for this project based on Two Tier:
Collapsed Core: 2 x 8360-16Y2C in VSX (ISL 2x100GbE DAC) Access Stack: 10 x Stack of 6200F 48G Class4 PoE 4SFP+ 740W (each stack has 4 members, VSF with 10GbE VSF links) (2 x 10GbE uplink per stack) Based on the scenario, which switch would be a good access layer switch to recommend?
