Q2 Single choice

A customer has a edge switch connected to a cluster of VSP 9000 switches. The uplinks to the network core are via two Gigabit uplink ports. The uplinks are not aggregated and are running spanning tree protocol.

The result is that one of the links is always being blocked, and recovery time is unacceptably long when the active uplink fails. They need to have both links active to increase the bandwidth to the core, and at the same time provide better redundancy.

What is the preferred Avaya solution for the customer?

  • A

    Connect both of the uplinks to one of the VSP 9000 switches and disable spanning tree.

  • B

    Connect one uplink to each of the VSP 9000 switches to create a triangle and use spanning tree protocol.

  • C

    Connect one uplink to each of the VSP 9000 switches to create a triangle and configure a SMLT with either MLT or LACP on the access switch.
    Spanning tree must be disabled.

  • D

    Connect one uplink to each of the VSP 9000 switches to create a triangle and configure a SMLT with either MLT or LACP on the access switch.
    Spanning tree must be enabled.
