  1. I agree that it is C. You provision member 2 on the commander and then you can pre-configure the member 2 interface settings (on the commander).

  2. Note the question: The network administrator wants to configure the proper settings on the standby member interface before the standby member joins the fabric.
    so it is related to standby member only.

    1. Following this, answer is D due to manual config process.

      VSF Deployment Methods
      • Auto-join/plug-and-play – configure one switch with VSF and a second, factory default
      switch that is connected will join and form a VSF automatically

      • Manual configuration – configure both VSF members manually
      • Assign VSF ports to VSF link
      • Enable VSF domain ID and reboot

      • VSF provisioning – configure one switch with VSF, and manually provision a second switch with:
      • Chassis type; called loose provision
      • Chassis type and mac-address; called strict provisioning
      • Connect a second member matching the provisioning
