Is this a guideline for establishing a Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) Inter-Switch Link (ISL) between two ArubaOS-CX switches?

A . Yes
B. No

View Answer

Answer: B

Explanation:

Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) is a high-availability technology that allows two ArubaOS-CX switches to operate as a single logical device. VSX Inter-Switch Link (ISL) is a link between the two VSX switches that is used for both data plane and control plane traffic. It is not recommended to reserve the ISL for control plane traffic only, as this would limit the benefits of VSX and create suboptimal traffic forwarding1. Therefore, this is not a valid guideline for establishing a VSX ISL between two ArubaOS-CX switches.
