What is a primary Active Gateway feature unique to Aruba CX VSX configuration?

• A. Sixteen different VMACs are supported total as shared
• B. Active Gateway can once MSTP instances are created for VLAN load sharing
• C. Sixteen different VMACS are supported for each IPV4 and IPV6 stack simultaneously
• D. copied over the ISL link for an optimized path

Answer: (C)

Active Gateway in Aruba CX VSX allows the gateway function to run across both VSX peers and share traffic using multiple virtual MAC addresses. Each VMAC acts as a separate gateway identity for a VLAN, enabling load sharing and faster, more reliable failover. Aruba supports up to 16 VMACs for IPv4 and up to 16 VMACs for IPv6, and these can be used simultaneously, giving separate gateway MACs for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. This capability is what enables per-stack gateway distribution in a VSX environment, which isn’t provided by a single-switch gateway.
