Q: 2
Refer to the exhibit.
In the given topology, a pair of Aruba CX 8325 switches are in a VSX stack using the active gateway
What is the nature and behavior of the Virtual IP for the VSX pair if clients are connected to the
access switch using VSX as the default gateway?

B , the whole point of VSX active gateway is that the VIP floats between the switches if there's a failure. Clients keep using the same default gateway IP no matter which box is up. Anyone think C makes sense here?
It’s B, since the floating VIP will move to the secondary switch if the primary fails. That’s how active gateway in VSX works, keeps things seamless for client traffic. Let me know if I’m missing something here.
B tbh. Pretty sure the virtual IP is meant to float between the VSX pair, so if one switch goes down, the other takes over the gateway IP without breaking client connectivity. Not totally confident but that's what I remember from similar practice questions. Somebody confirm?
Be respectful. No spam.
