Based on the provided plan, which two pieces of information does the engineer need to proceed?

A customer needs to convert S-Series stacked switches to a VLT configuration to maintain port-channels from the customer’s server. The customer’s S-Series stack currently uses IEEE 802.1d. The customer wants to upgrade to a faster converging protocol. The servers that connect to the stack use static port-channels, but the customer wants to be IEEE 802.3ad compliant. The customer has approved a maintenance window for the weekend to make these changes.

A network engineer has been given the following plan:

– Confirm the timings of the change window with the customer

– Upgrade the firmware of the S-Series switches

– Configure the single-domain VLT peers

– Configure the port-channels down to the customer’s servers

– Utilize all existing cabling to proceed with the plan

Based on the provided plan, which two pieces of information does the engineer need to proceed? (Choose two.)

the requirement of IEEE 802.1w for VLT Support

the time-out value for ARP-cache

the version of VLT that is required to meet IEEE 802.1s compliance

the requirement for servers to actively negotiate an IEEE 802.3ad LAG

the new 802.1s bridge priority after the cutover

the static mac-address assignment to ensure that all end servers are aware of the Root Bridge
