Multiple Choice

Refer to the exhibit. The exhibit shows the current plan for a wired network upgrade. As much as possible, the customer wants to flatten the architecture and avoid recabling. However, each Building 2 switch must also maintain connectivity to the core if one link fails. What should the architect propose to meet the customer requirements?

• A) Use two additional 2930F switches to act as an aggregation layer for Building 2; connect them to the core on 40 GbE connections.
• B) Connect each Building 2 switch directly to the core on a single fiber strand through the use of SFP+-SR transceivers.
• C) Combine the switches in each Building 2 closet as a VSF fabric; establish two 10 GbE connections to the core per fabric.
• D) Extend additional fiber between the buildings so that each Building 2 switch can have a direct 10 GbE connection to the core.
