To add a third member JL726A to an Aruba CX 6200F VSF stack, which command sequence correctly joins the new member to the existing stack?

To add a third member JL726A to an Aruba CX 6200F VSF stack, which command sequence correctly joins the new member to the existing stack?

• A. On the new switch issue: vsf member 1 link 1 1/1/50 link 2 1/1/49 vsf renumber-to 3
• B. On the new switch issue: vsf member 3 type j1726a
• C. On the existing VSF issue: vsf member 3 stack join type j1726a
• D. On the new switch issue: vsf member 1 type j1726a link 1 3/1/50 link 2 3/1/49

Answer: (C)

In a VSF stack, adding a new member is coordinated by the existing stack. You tell the current stack to bring in the new unit by issuing a join command that specifies the new member’s slot number and the model type. For a JL726A being added as the third member, the proper action is to run on the existing VSF: vsf member 3 stack join type j1726a. This directs the stack to incorporate the third switch and recognize its model, ensuring a proper handshake and compatible configuration. The alternate approaches don’t complete the join process: configuring the type on the new switch alone doesn’t actually join it to the stack, and using the wrong member-id or including port-link details in the join command isn’t correct for this operation. The physical interconnect should be in place, but the command to join is issued on the existing stack with the correct member number and type.
