HPE7-A01 Exam - Topic 6 Question 60 Discussion

A customer is using a legacy application that communicates at layer-2. The customer would like to keep this application working to a remote site connected via layer-3 All legacy devices are connected to a dedicated Aruba CX 6200 switch at each site.What technology on the Aruba CX 6200 could be used to meet this requirement?
A) Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag (IMET)
B) Ethernet over IP (EolP)
C) Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE)
D) Static VXLAN

[All HPE7-A01 Questions]

A customer is using a legacy application that communicates at layer-2. The customer would like to keep this application working to a remote site connected via layer-3 All legacy devices are connected to a dedicated Aruba CX 6200 switch at each site.

What technology on the Aruba CX 6200 could be used to meet this requirement?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

VXLAN is a technology that can be used to meet the requirement of using a legacy application that communicates at layer-2 across a layer-3 network. Static VXLAN is a feature that allows the creation of layer-2 overlay networks over a layer-3 underlay network using VXLAN tunnels. Static VXLAN does not require any control plane protocol or VTEP discovery mechanism, and can be configured manually on the Aruba CX 6200 switches. The other options are incorrect because they either do not support layer-2 communication over layer-3 network or are not supported by Aruba CX 6200 switches.

I feel like A) Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag could work too. Multicast is key.

I think it's B) Ethernet over IP. It keeps legacy apps running.

I think B) Ethernet over IP (EolP) is the best choice. It keeps layer-2 communication intact.

Static VXLAN sounds familiar, but I’m unsure if it’s the right choice for connecting legacy applications to a remote site.

I feel like IMET could be a possibility since it deals with multicast, but I need to double-check its compatibility with layer-3.

I remember practicing a question about GRE tunnels, but I can't recall if they apply to this scenario with legacy devices.

I think the answer might be Ethernet over IP, but I'm not entirely sure how it works with layer-2 applications.
