What is correct about access from the servers to the Core?

Two AOS-CX switches are configured with VSX at the the Access-Aggregation layer where servers attach to them An SVI interface is configured for VLAN 10 and serves as the default gateway for VLAN 10. The ISL link between the switches fails, but the keepalive interface functions. Active gateway has been configured on the VSX switches.

What is correct about access from the servers to the Core? (Select two.)
A . Server 1 can access the core layer via the keepalrve link
B . Server 2 can access the core layer via the keepalive link
C . Server 2 cannot access the core layer.
D . Server 1 can access the core layer via both uplinks
E . Server 1 and Server 2 can communicate with each other via the core layer
F . Server 1 can access the core layer on only one uplink

Answer: D E

Explanation:

These are the correct statements about access from the servers to the Core when the ISL link between the switches fails, but the keepalive interface functions. Server 1 can access the core layer via both uplinks because it is connected to VSX-A, which is still active for VLAN 10. Server 2 can also access the core layer via its uplink to VSX-B, which is still active for VLAN 10 because of Active Gateway feature. Server 1 and Server 2 can communicate with each other via the core layer because they are in the same VLAN and subnet, and their traffic can be routed through the core switches. The other statements are incorrect because they either describe scenarios that are not possible or not relevant to the question.
