A maximum aggregate ISL bandwidth of 200G is supported by which stacking technology?

• A. VSF
• B. VSX
• C. Both VSF and VSX
• D. Neither VSF nor VSX

Answer: (A)

Stacking determines how much traffic can flow between switches in the same stack. VSF (Virtual Switching Framework) creates a single logical switch across the stacked units and uses the inter-switch links in a way that supports a higher combined bandwidth. In the Aruba ACP-CA context, the maximum aggregate inter-switch link (ISL) bandwidth achievable with VSF is 200 Gbps, so that technology best fits the 200G requirement. VSX (Virtual Switching Extension) uses a different stacking approach with a different bandwidth profile and does not reach this 200 Gbps aggregate limit in the same scenarios, so it isn’t the correct fit here.
