Exam HPE6-A86 Topic 1 Question 26 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE6-A86 exam
Question #: 26
Topic #: 1
A customer requires a network upgrade to replace their existing access switches. The new solution must support 25G speeds to the aggregation layer, with a maximum physical space of 1U, and it must be a fixed switch solution.
Which HPE Aruba Networking CX switch model would you initially propose?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

The correct answer is A. CX 6300. The requirement asks for a fixed 1U access switch that can support 25G speeds toward the aggregation layer. HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300 switches are described as stackable switches suitable for enterprise access, aggregation, core, and data center top-of-rack deployments. HPE QuickSpecs for the CX 6300 list 1U models with SFP/SFP+/SFP28/SFP56 transceiver support, including 1G,
10G, 25G, and 50G uplink capability depending on the model. This makes the CX 6300 the best fit among the options. The CX 6400 is not the best answer because it is a modular chassis platform, not a fixed 1U switch.
The CX 6100 is an entry-level Layer 2 access switch with 10G uplinks, not 25G. The CX 6200 supports access switching with uplinks up to 10G, so it also does not satisfy the 25G uplink requirement. Therefore, the initial proposal should be the CX 6300 family.
