Explanation
HPE Aruba CX 6200 series switches support VSF (Virtual Switching Framework) stacking, which lets multiple physical switches operate as a single logical unit, simplifying management and increasing resilience at the access layer.
The CX 8100 (B) is a high-performance data center spine/leaf switch designed for large-scale environments; it uses VSX (Virtual Switching Extension) for redundancy rather than VSF stacking. The CX 6400 (C) is a modular chassis-based aggregation/core switch - chassis-based platforms rely on VSX or internal fabric, not VSF. The CX 6100 (D) is an entry-level, simplified access switch that lacks the feature depth to support VSF.
Memory tip: Think "VSF = Fixed-form access layer" - the CX 6200 fits that profile perfectly (fixed-port, access-layer, stackable). If the switch is a chassis or a data center platform, reach for VSX instead.
