The Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) is a technology that allows two or more Aruba switches to operate as a single logical device, providing high availability, simplified management, and increased performance. VSF is supported on Aruba 5400R zl2 switches, which are modular switches that can accommodate different types of line cards and power supplies1.

The VSF fabric requires two types of connections between the member switches: VSF links and VSF ports. VSF links are the physical connections that carry the VSF control and data traffic, while VSF ports are the logical interfaces that bundle the VSF links into a single logical link. VSF links can be either 10 GbE or 40 GbE, and VSF ports can be either 10 GbE or 40 GbE1.

To create a VSF fabric with two 5406R zl2 switches, the architect needs to ensure that the switches have the compatible modules, transceivers, and cables for the VSF links and ports. According to the ArubaOS-Switch Management and Configuration Guide1, the following requirements apply for the VSF fabric:

• The switches must have the same chassis model, the same number and type of modules, and the same firmware version.
• The switches must have at least one v3 module in slot A or B. The v3 modules are the ones with the letter “M” in the part number, such as J9990A, J9991A, and J9992A. The v2 modules are the ones with the letter “A” in the part number, such as J9534A, J9535A, and J9536A.
• The switches must have the same type of transceivers and cables for the VSF links. The supported transceivers are the Aruba 10G SFP+ LC SR, the Aruba 10G SFP+ LC LR, the Aruba 40G QSFP+ LC SR4, and the Aruba 40G QSFP+ MPO SR4. The supported cables are the Aruba 10G SFP+ to SFP+ 1m DAC Cable, the Aruba 10G SFP+ to SFP+ 3m DAC Cable, the Aruba 40G QSFP+ to QSFP+ 1m DAC Cable, and the Aruba 40G QSFP+ to QSFP+ 3m DAC Cable.

Based on the exhibit, the architect has planned to use the Aruba 40G QSFP+ to QSFP+ 1m DAC Cable (JH234A) for the VSF links, which is a supported option. However, the architect has also selected the Aruba 24p 10GBASE-T v2 zl Module (J9536A) and the Aruba 20p 10GbE SFP+ v2 zl Module (J9535A) for the switches, which are not compatible with the VSF fabric. The architect should change these v2 modules to v3 modules, such as the Aruba 24p 10GBASE-T v3 zl2 Module (J9996A) and the Aruba 20p 10GbE SFP+ v3 zl2 Module (J9990A), to meet the VSF requirements.

The other options are not issues with the plan. Adding two QSPF+ MP0 SR4 transceivers (A) is not necessary, as the DAC cable already provides the 40 GbE connection for the VSF links. Adding stacking modules and cables © is not required, as the VSF fabric does not use the traditional stacking technology. Changing the power supply type (D) is not relevant, as the VSF fabric does not impose any restrictions on the power supply type.

The specifications for the AP models are in the format of Tx:Rx:SU-MIMO:MU-MIMO:MU-MIMO clients, where Tx is the number of transmit antennas, Rx is the number of receive antennas, SU-MIMO is the number of spatial streams supported in single-user MIMO mode, MU-MIMO is the number of spatial streams supported in multi-user MIMO mode, and MU-MIMO clients is the number of MU-MIMO clients that can be served simultaneously.

The customer requirements are:

• Support for MU-MIMO: This means the AP must have a MU-MIMO value greater than 1, as MU-MIMO is a technique that allows multiple spatial streams to be transmitted to different clients at the same time.
• Support for up to four spatial streams, both when MU-MIMO is used and when it is not used: This means the AP must have a SU-MIMO value and a MU-MIMO value of 4, as spatial streams are independent data streams that can be transmitted or received by an antenna.
• Support for transmissions to up to three MU-MIMO clients at the same time: This means the AP must have a MU-MIMO clients value of 3, as this indicates the maximum number of clients that can receive MU-MIMO transmissions from the AP at the same time.

Based on these criteria, only the AP 335 meets the customer requirements, as it has a specification of 4x4:4:4:4:3, which means it has 4 transmit and receive antennas, 4 spatial streams in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO modes, and can serve 3 MU-MIMO clients simultaneously. The AP 325 does not meet the customer requirements, as it has a specification of 4x4:4:4:3:3, which means it has only 3 spatial streams in MU-MIMO mode, and can only serve 2 MU-MIMO clients simultaneously.

The frequency of the radio wave is one of the most important factors that determines the antenna performance and compatibility. The antenna must be designed to operate at the same frequency band as the radio, otherwise the impedance mismatch will cause signal loss and reflection. The frequency also affects the size, shape, and radiation pattern of the antenna. For example, a lower frequency requires a larger antenna to achievethe same gain and directivity as a higher frequency antenna. The frequency also determines the available bandwidth and channel spacing for the wireless communication12. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the antenna is designed for the frequency used by the radio. References:
