Question #: 18
Topic #: 1
[All HPE7-A03 Questions]

'Don't Buy at Us' is a US-based retail company that is expanding Into Europe. They are expanding into EMEA with a regional headquarters called HQ2 inside The Netherlands.

Their US-based headquarters HQ1 was refreshed last year based on the Aruba ESP architecture. You have treated the design for HQ? based on the same design as HQ1. a two-tier architecture. The high level is shown below.

Switch BOM for this project based on Two Tier:

Collapsed Core: 2 x Aruba 8360-16Y2C in VSX (ISL 2 ICOG0E DAC)

Access Slack: 10 x Slack of Aruba 6200F 48G Class4 PoE 4SFP- 740W each stack has A members. VSF

with 10GbE VSF links) 12 x 10GbE uplink pet stack)

During the presentation of your design to the CTO of "Don't Buy at Us" you were informed about the changes they want you to incorporate into the updated design

1. HQ2 will include the EMEA regional distribution center (EMEA-OISTR) next to the HQ2.

2. Only two pairs of 0S1 are available between HQ2 and EMEA-DlSTR.

3. The uplinks from all access stacks need to increase to 2 x 25GbE. the fiber in HQ2 and EMEA-DI5TRI is certified for 25GbE.

4. EMEA-DlSTR needs at least 7 x stack of Aruba 48 ports switches (each stack has 4 members).

Which answer based on best practice is presenting the correct Switch BOM tor the updated design?

A)

B)

C)

D)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Based on the requirements provided by 'Don't Buy at Us,' the updated design needs to accommodate 25GbE uplinks and a minimum of 7 stacks of 48-port Aruba switches for the EMEA-DISTR. Option C is the most suitable based on best practices, as it proposes:

A core configuration consisting of two Aruba 8360-12C in VSX for the collapsed core with ISL of 2x100GbE DAC, which will provide robust core networking with high-speed interconnects, suitable for the demands of a regional distribution center and headquarters.

Aggregation with two stacks, each with 2 Aruba 8360-12C in VSX (ISL 2x100GbE DAC), accommodating the uplink capacity requirements.

Access stacks with a total of 17 stacks of Aruba 6300F 48-port 1GbE Class 4 PoE with 4-port SFP56 (each stack has 4 members, VSF with 50GbE VSF links, 2 x 25GbE uplinks per stack), which exceeds the minimum requirement of 7 stacks and provides the necessary uplink bandwidth.

This configuration supports the 25GbE uplink speeds, satisfies the required number of switch stacks for the EMEA distribution center, and is compatible with the existing 25GbE-certified fiber infrastructure at HQ2 and EMEA-DISTR.

Wait, did they say 'Don't Buy at Us'? Sounds like a pretty sketchy company! But Option B looks solid to me, covers all the bases.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards Option D. The dual 10GbE links between HQ2 and EMEA-DISTR seem a bit limited, and Option D addresses that with the 2x25GbE uplinks.

Option C looks like the best choice here. Increasing the uplink to 25GbE and adding more stacks for the EMEA-DISTR makes sense with the new requirements.
