 A metal firewall is a significant RF obstacle that can be difficult to see visually and might require access to blueprints. A metal firewall is a type of fire-resistant barrier that is made of metal or metal-clad materials and is used to separate different sections of a building or a network. A metal firewall can block or attenuate RF signals that pass through it, causing coverage gaps, signal degradation, or interference in the wireless deployment. A metal firewall can also reflect RF signals, creating multipath fading or distortion in the wireless environment. Therefore, an architect needs to identify the location and thickness of any metal firewalls in the building and account for their impact on the RF design. A metal firewall may require additional access points, antennas, or cabling to provide adequate coverage and performance across the wireless deployment. A metal firewall may also affect the channel planning, transmit power settings, and antenna orientation of the access points and radios. A metal firewall can be difficult to see visually, as it may be hidden behind walls, ceilings, or floors, or blended with other materials.Therefore, an architect might need access to blueprints or other sources of information to locate and measure any metal firewalls in the building. References:

Jitter is the variation in the delay of packets arriving at the destination. It is caused by network congestion, routing changes, or other factors that affect the transmission quality. Jitter can affect the quality of VoIP calls, as it can cause gaps, distortion, or echo in the audio. According to the Aruba Validated Reference Design for Voice and Video over Wi-Fi, the recommended maximum jitter for VoIP calls is 30 ms. Therefore, a jitter of 100 ms would typically cause a poor experience for users.

The other options are incorrect because:

• A. The packet loss is the percentage of packets that are lost or discarded during transmission. Packet loss can affect the quality of VoIP calls, as it can cause missing or corrupted audio. However, according to the Aruba Validated Reference Design for Voice and Video over Wi-Fi, the recommended maximum packet loss for VoIP calls is 1 percent. Therefore, a packet loss of 0.3 percent would not typically cause a poor experience for users.
• B. The throughput is the amount of data that can be transferred per unit of time. Throughput can affect the quality of VoIP calls, as it determines the bandwidth available for the audio. However, according to the Aruba Validated Reference Design for Voice and Video over Wi-Fi, the typical throughput for VoIP calls is 64 Kbps. Therefore, a throughput of 67 Kbps would not typically cause a poor experience for users.
• C. The latency is the delay between the sender and the receiver of packets. Latency can affect the quality of VoIP calls, as it can cause delays or out-of-sync audio. However, according to the Aruba Validated Reference Design for Voice and Video over Wi-Fi, the recommended maximum latency for VoIP calls is 150 ms. Therefore, a latency of 100 ms would not typically cause a poor experience for users.

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.
