Actual exam question for HP's HPE2-W09 exam
Question #: 56
Topic #: 1
[All HPE2-W09 Questions]

Two ArubaOS-CX switches ate part of a Virtual Switching Extension (V5X) fabric. Is this a guideline for configuring the switches' link-up delay settings?

Solution: The link-up delay timer is only required when split-recovery is disabled.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) is a high-availability technology that allows two ArubaOS-CX switches to operate as a single logical device. VSX link-up delay is a feature that delays bringing downstream VSX links up, following a VSX device reboot or an ISL flap. This prevents traffic blackholing or loops due to transient conditions. The link-up delay timer is not only required when split-recovery is disabled. Split-recovery is another feature that prevents traffic blackholing or loops when the ISL link fails and then recovers. Split-recovery works by disabling the secondary VSX member's downstream links until it synchronizes with the primary member. However, split-recovery does not cover all scenarios where traffic blackholing or loops can occur, such as when both VSX members reboot simultaneously or when the ISL flaps rapidly.Therefore, it is recommended to configure the link-up delay timer even when split-recovery is enabled1. Therefore, this is not a valid guideline for configuring the switches' link-up delay settings.

I think if split-recovery is enabled, the switches would be able to recover from failures quickly without needing the delay timer.

But what if split-recovery is enabled? Would the link-up delay timer be required then?

I agree, if split-recovery is disabled, then the link-up delay timer is not needed.

No, I think the link-up delay should be configured regardless of split-recovery status.

I agree, it makes sense to configure the link-up delay settings based on split-recovery.

Haha, yeah, it's like they're daring us to admit we don't know everything about every Aruba networking feature. I'm just going to do my best and hope for the best!

You know, I bet the exam writers are just trying to trip us up with these super specific questions. They probably want to see how well we can apply our networking knowledge to these edge cases.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with Virtual Switching Extension (V5X) fabrics. This is a pretty niche topic. I hope I don't get stumped by too many obscure networking questions on the exam.

I agree with Leana. The solution provides a clear explanation, so B) No seems like the right answer here.

The solution says the link-up delay timer is only required when split-recovery is disabled. So I guess that means the answer is B) No, it's not a guideline in this case.

I'm not sure about this question. It seems pretty technical and specific. I hope the exam doesn't have too many questions like this one.
