HP Aruba Certified Switching Associate - HPE6-A72 Exam Questions [2026]

QUESTION NO: 1
Refer to the exhibit.

All switches shown are CX 6300M. The links connecting SW3 to both SW1 and SW2 are broken.
Multi-Active Detection has not been enabled. What are two results? (Select two.)

A. Only the OSPF adjacency between SW3 and the OSPF neighbor will fail. All routed traffic will be redirected to SW2 instead. B. The stack will split resulting in SW1 remaining an active VSF Master and SW3 disabling all ports. SW2 will automatically take the VSF Standby role. C. The stack will split with SW1 remaining an active VSF Master and SW3 becoming another active VSF Master. Switch 2 will remain a VSF member switch. D. A re-election will occur upon repairing the disabled links between SW2 and SW3. The switch with the highest priority will reclaim the Master role with the lowest bridge mac-address acting the tie-breaker E. The OSPF adjacency between the OSPF neighbor and the VSF stack switches SW2 and SW3 will remain up. Packets destined for SW3 that are received on SW2 are discarded.

QUESTION NO: 2
Refer to the exhibit.

You are in the process of configuring VSF between Access-1 and Access-2. Access-1 has been configured as the VSF Master.
What is a valid configuration for Access-2 to join the VSF stack?

A. Access-2# configure
Access-2(config)# vsf member 1 Access-2(vsf-member-1)# link 1 1/1/28 Access-2(vsf-member-1)# exit Access-2(config)# vsf renumber-to 2 This will save the VSF configuration and reboot the switch. Do you want to continue (y/n)? y B. Access-2# configure
Access-2(config)# vsf member 1 Access-2(config)# vsf renumber-to 2 Access-2(vsf-member-1)# link 2
2/1/28 Access-2(vsf-member-1)# exit
This will save the VSF configuration and reboot the switch. Do you want to continue (y/n)? y C. Access-2# configure
Access-2(config)# vsf member 2 Access-2(vsf-member-1)# link 1 1/1/28 Access-2(vsf-member-1)# exit This will save the VSF configuration and reboot the switch. Do you want to continue (y/n)? y D. Access-2# configure
Access-2(config)# vsf member 2 Access-2(vsf-member-1)# link 2 1/1/28 Access-2(vsf-member-1)# exit This will save the VSF configuration and reboot the switch. Do you want to continue (y/n)? y

Correct Answer: C

QUESTION NO: 6
Refer to the exhibit.

The above scenario shows a packet from the Server destined for the Firewall. Switch-A and Switch-B are bundled as VSF stack. The LAG between the VSF stack and the firewall indicates a hash function to forward the packet on port 2/1/2.
Which statement is true regarding how Switch-A will forward the packet?

A. Switch-A will forward the packet on port 1/1/2. VSF will override the typical LAG hash function used for the physical interface selection. B. Switch-A will drop the packet. Multi-Chassis lag to multi-chassis lag is not a supported feature of VSF. C. Switch-A will forward the packet along the VSF link to Switch-B so that it will egress on port 2/1/2 per the hash function. D. Switch-A will encapsulate the packet using GRE to forward to Switch-B in order for the packet to egress on port 2/1/2 per the hash function.

Correct Answer: C

QUESTION NO: 7
