A pair of CX 8325 series switches is configured in a VSX cluster. Which function is executed on both VSX members during normal operation?
The correct answer is B. routes PIM and PIM-DR. In an AOS-CX VSX cluster, both members act as independent routing and multicast-capable devices. Each VSX node maintains its own control plane, so both members can independently perform functions like routing, running PIM, and acting as PIM Designated Router (PIM-DR). Other…

Explanation
In an AOS-CX VSX cluster, both members act as independent routing and multicast-capable devices. Each VSX node maintains its own control plane, so both members can independently perform functions like routing, running PIM, and acting as PIM Designated Router (PIM-DR). Other functions, such as ARP replies with the cluster vMAC or gratuitous ARPs, are handled by the active gateway only, not both switches.
