HP Exam HPE6-A85 Topic 4 Question 18 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE6-A85 exam

Question #: 18
Topic #: 4

You are working with a pair of 6300M switches in a VSF stack. The switch has 48 SmartRate 5G ports, 2 SFP28 ports, and 2 SFP56 ports. Both SFP56 ports are used for stacking.

You need to provide an LACP connection to another identical stack with the maximum available bandwidth possible. What should you configure?

Aa 16-member LAG using 2 SFP28 ports and 6 SR5 ports on each switch

Ban eight-member LAG using 4 SR5 ports on each switch

Can eight-member LAG using 2 SFP28 ports and 2 SR5 ports on each switch

Da four-member LAG using 2 SFP28 ports on each switch

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

To provide an LACP connection with the maximum available bandwidth, one should configure a link aggregation group (LAG) using all available ports that can be used for data transfer. Since the SFP56 ports are used for stacking, the next best option is to use the 2 SFP28 ports and as many SmartRate 5G (SR5) ports as possible on each switch, which would allow for a 16-member LAG, with 2 SFP28 and 6 SR5 ports on each switch contributing to the LAG.
