A customer is planning to deploy a branch office server rack. The environment will have the following requirements:
Single rack with 20 HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Servers.
Each Server will have 6 x 10G SFP+ Ports.
Each Server will have a dedicated iLO port.
The customer requires that only two switches be used. The customer requires separate control planes.
Which switch configuration can meet these requirements?
A. 2 x HPE 5945 Series switch with IRF
B. 2 x Aruba 8325 Series switches with VSX
C. 2 x HPE 5945 Series switches standalone
D. 2 x Aruba 8325 Series switches with backplane stacking.
C. is the answer, in IRF setting, one switch is the master, but the questions says customers wants separate control planes
If they need separate control planes, doesn’t IRF defeat that? I think this should be (C).
