Which of the following CX switches support VSF stacking technology?

The correct answer is A. 6200. 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.

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.
