What should the architect tell the customer about the benefits of the proposed solution?


A customer has an existing solution, which is shown in Exhibit 1. (The solution actually includes more access layer switches than shown.) In the existing solution, each access layer switch routes traffic.
A network architect is proposing the HP Flex Campus solution shown in Exhibit 2. In this proposed solution, the core Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) virtual switch routes traffic but the access layer switches do not. The customer links that in the existing solution if an access layer uplink fails, failover occurs in less than a second.
The customer also likes that the existing solution does not require Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).
What should the architect tell the customer about the benefits of the proposed solution?
A. Although the solution offers slower failover for the access layer uplinks, it is simpler and eliminates VRRP.
B. STP eliminates the loops on the access layer uplinks and handles failover for them, which speeds convergence.
C. Failover for an access layer uplink occurs in milliseconds, and router redundancy does not require VRRP.
D. IRF handles loop elimination and link failover, which lets VRRP handle router redundancy more efficiently.
