The correct answer is A. MC-LAG permits Core-1 and Core-2 to present the edge 802.3ad device as a common "system E. The proposed new core's VSF capability allows multiple active forwarding pathways from ToR-1. Moving to CX 6400 with VSX/MC-LAG lets Core-1 and Core-2 appear as a single LACP partner (common system ID) to ToR-1.

Question

Refer to the exhibit. Acme Corp has VM workload running downstream of ToR-1 and has noticed performance degradation. They suspect ToR-1 uplinks are periodically overutilized. A partner has suggested you migrate your legacy 1U Core-1 and Core-2 to the CX 6400 series. Which aspects of this platform would solve the customer’s problem, while focusing on implementing HPE Aruba Networking best practices? (Choose two.)

Explanation

Moving to CX 6400 with VSX/MC-LAG lets Core-1 and Core-2 appear as a single LACP partner (common system ID) to ToR-1. This enables active-active uplinks and balances traffic across both cores, reducing uplink overutilization. Using a multi-chassis/stacked core eliminates blocked STP links so ToR-1 has multiple active forwarding paths, further improving utilization and resiliency.
