HP Exam HPE7-A01 Topic 5 Question 19 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A01 exam
Question #: 19
Topic #: 5
[All HPE7-A01 Questions]

Your customer currently has Iwo (2) 5406 modular switches with MSTP configured as their core switches. You are proposing a new solution. What would you explain regarding the Aruba CX VSX switch pair when the Primary VSX node is replaced and the system MAC is replaced?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The system-mac command is used to configure a fixed MAC address for the VSX system. This MAC address is used as the source MAC address for all routed traffic from the VSX node.The system-mac command is highly recommended for preventing traffic disruptions when the primary VSX switch restores after the secondary VSX switch, such as during a primary switch hardware replacement or a power outage2. During the initial VSX configuration, the system-mac is assigned with a fixed MAC based on VSX ID.The system-mac command can be used to change this default MAC address if needed2. Therefore, answer D is correct.

Ah, the joys of network configurations. I'd just ask the switch to give me the MAC address it wants, and then go with that. Saves the hassle of having to figure it out myself.

Wait, is this a trick question? I'm just going to go with the option that sounds the most like something a network engineer would actually do.

I'm leaning towards A. The lower ID node should be the one that determines the MAC address, right? Keeps things simple.

Nah, I'm going with D. The system-mac is assigned based on the VSX ID during the initial configuration, so that's the way to go.
