Answer options
A: Aruba CX 6200
B: Aruba CX 6300 Correct answer
C: Aruba CX 8400 Correct answer
D: Aruba CX 4100i
Correct Answer:
B. Aruba CX 6300; C. Aruba CX 8400
Explanation

The Aruba CX 6300 and Aruba CX 8400 switch series are designed for environments requiring high availability and resiliency. The Aruba CX 6300 series are stackable access switches that feature models with field-replaceable, hot-swappable power supplies, allowing for N+1 redundancy. The Aruba CX 8400 is a high-performance modular chassis switch designed for core and data center roles, which inherently includes multiple hot-swappable, load-sharing power supplies to ensure continuous operation and high levels of redundancy.

Why Incorrect

A. Aruba CX 6200: This series is an entry-level access switch family that features fixed, non-modular internal power supplies and is not designed for power supply redundancy.
D. Aruba CX 4100i: This is a ruggedized switch series designed for harsh environments. It features fixed, non-modular internal power supplies and does not support redundancy.
