In-band management uses the same production network path that carries user or data traffic. Out-of-band management uses a separate management path, which is why it can remain reachable during some production-network failures and is often preferred for resiliency.

Using VSF on the two CX 6200 aggregation switches lets them operate as one logical aggregation point, and a LAG from each access switch provides redundant uplinks. A single VSF domain cannot include the older access switches, and a LAG to two independent switches would not be valid without the aggregation pair acting as one logical system.

AAA stands for Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting. Authentication verifies identity, authorization determines permitted actions, and accounting records activity. The other expansions are not the standard network security meaning of AAA.

SSH is the secure remote CLI method because it encrypts the management session. Telnet is clear text, TFTP is a file-transfer protocol, and SNMPv2 polling is for monitoring rather than secure interactive CLI access.

Dynamic Segmentation is the Aruba feature aligned with Zero Trust and SASE concepts because it applies role-based access and consistent policy segmentation. VSF and VSX are switching resiliency technologies, while NAE is an analytics feature.

show system is the appropriate command for displaying switch identity details such as make, model, and serial number. ARP, VLAN, and spanning tree commands report forwarding or Layer 2 state rather than overall system identity.

Flash memory is nonvolatile, so its contents survive a reboot or power loss. Running configuration is held in active memory, and show running-config displays the active configuration rather than the stored startup configuration in flash.

ARP is used when a device knows the destination IP address but needs the destination MAC address for local Ethernet delivery. It does not discover a source address, and it does not map a MAC address back to an IP address in this normal forwarding case.

SNMP is used for network monitoring and management, and Telnet is a remote terminal management protocol. ARP supports local address resolution, and STP is a Layer 2 loop-prevention protocol rather than an administrative access or monitoring protocol.

The no shutdown command administratively enables the switch interface. Clearing ARP does not alter port state, show system only displays platform information, and saving configuration alone does not bring a disabled port online.

In a CX VSF stack, the conductor represents the stack for management functions such as SNMP queries.
Individual members do not each independently answer as separate managed switches for normal stack management queries.

A captive portal presented to guests should use a certificate signed by a public CA so unmanaged client devices trust it without manual certificate installation. Disabling HTTPS weakens security, and importing a private or self-signed certificate is not practical for general guest users.

The CX 6300 is the appropriate fixed access switch family for high-speed uplink needs such as 25G in a 1U form factor. The CX 6400 is a chassis, while CX 6100 and CX 6200 do not match the same high-speed fixed-switch requirement in this question.

CX 6200 = VSF - 8 members;
CX 8100 = VSX;
CX 6100 = None;
CX 6300 = VSF - 10 members;
CX4100 = None.
VSF and VSX are different high-availability approaches across Aruba CX families. CX 6200 supports VSF with up to 8 members, CX 6300 supports VSF with up to 10 members, and CX 8100 uses VSX rather than VSF. CX 6100 and CX 4100 do not provide the listed stacking or clustering feature.

ZTP is intended for factory-default devices. If the switch detects that its configuration is no longer factory default, the ZTP process stops so it does not overwrite an already deployed device. This prevents unintended reprovisioning in production.

QoS is used to classify and prioritize latency-sensitive traffic such as voice and collaboration traffic when congestion occurs. CoS can be one marking mechanism, but QoS is the broader feature used to address poor call quality. IGMP and ZIP do not prioritize Teams media flows.

AOS-CX supports VLAN range creation with hyphen syntax, such as vlan 100-110. Colon syntax is not the expected range form, and newly created VLANs do not require the listed enable or no shutdown commands in this context.

The show system command displays platform identity information such as make, model, and serial number. show support-information is broader support output, show configuration displays configuration, and diagnostic dump commands are not the normal quick identity command.
