Which architecture meets the customer requirements?

A customer has requested that you provide them with an architecture and bill-of-materials for a stack of top-of-rack switches. The customer has 34 HPE DL360 servers in the rack, each with four 1GBASE-T Ethernet ports which need to be connected to the network.
The customer is upgrading 50% of the 1GBASE-T Ethernet ports on the servers to 10GBASE-T Ethernet ports and needs the switching to support the upgraded servers. They are opposed to a chassis switch, and want to keep thei number of managed devices on the network to a minimum.

  1. I think the correct answer is C:
    Needs 4 switches for port count, customer wants minimum of managed devices so one stack, VSX only supports two switches so must be an IRF based stack.
