‘Don't Buy at Us’ is a US-based retail company that is expanding into Europe. They are expanding into EMEA with a regional headquarters called HQ2 inside The Netherlands.
Their US-based headquarters HQ1 was refreshed last year based on the HPE Aruba Networking ESP architecture. You have created the design for HQ2 based on the same design as HQ1, a two- tier architecture. The high level is shown below.
Switch BOM for this project based on Two Tier:
Collapsed Core: 2 x 8360-16Y2C in VSX (ISL 2x100GbE DAC)
Access Stack: 10 x Stack of 6200F 48G Class4 PoE 4SFP+ 740W (each stack has 4 members, VSF with 10GbE VSF links) (2 x 10GbE uplink per stack)
During the presentation of your design to the CTO of ‘Don't Buy at Us’ you were informed about the changes they want you to incorporate into the updated design.
1. HQ2 will include the EMEA regional distribution center (EMEA-DISTR) next to the HQ2.
2. Only two pairs of OS1 are available between HQ2 and EMEA-DISTR.
3. The uplinks from all access stacks need to Increase to 2 x 25GbE, the fiber in HQ2 and EMEA-DISTRI is certified for 25GbE.
4. EMEA-DISTR needs at least 7 x stack of Aruba 48 ports switches (each stack has 4 members).
Which answer based on best practice is presenting the correct Switch BOM for the updated design?
