Which steps should be followed to configure Layer 2 VLANs on Aruba switches? (Select two.)

Question

Options

• AAssign VLAN ID to the switch interface
• BEnable LLDP globally
• CCreate a VLAN and assign it a name
• DEnable DHCP relay

• A
  89% (31)
• B
  9% (3)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Configuring a Layer 2 VLAN on Aruba switches requires two fundamental steps: first, creating the VLAN and giving it an identifying name (C), and second, assigning that VLAN ID to a switch interface (A) - together these define the VLAN and put it to work on the network. Without both steps, the VLAN either doesn't exist or has no ports to carry traffic.

B (Enable LLDP globally) is wrong because LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is a neighbor-discovery protocol used to identify connected devices - it has no role in VLAN creation or assignment. D (Enable DHCP relay) is wrong because DHCP relay is a Layer 3 feature that forwards DHCP requests across VLANs; it's configured after VLANs exist and only when IP addressing is involved.

Memory tip: Think "Create then Assign" - you must Create the VLAN before you can Assign it. The two correct answers literally follow alphabetical order (A, C) matching the workflow order (though you do C before A in practice).
