Combine multiple links between two data centers into link aggregations (but not multi-chassis ones) is part of a valid strategy for load sharing traffic across the links in an Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) ring. ERPS is a feature that provides loop prevention and fast convergence for Layer 2 networks that use ring topologies. ERPS can support link aggregation groups (LAGs) between two nodes in a ring as long as they are not multi-chassis LAGs (MC-LAGs). MC-LAGs are not supported by ERPS because they can create loops in the ring topology.

Creating a conformance test to check that the firmware matches the desired version is part of the process for using NetEdit to update firmware on ArubaOS-CX switches. NetEdit is a tool that allows you to manage and monitor multiple switches from a single interface. It also provides a conformance feature that lets you create tests to verify that the switches comply with your desired configuration and firmware settings. You can use NetEdit to create a conformance test to check that the firmware matches the desired version and then run it on the switches.

The ISL and keepalive goes down, and after a few seconds, the keepalive link restores. Switch-1 and Switch-2 remains up. The Split-recovery mode is enabled. In this case the secondary switch shutdowns SVIs when keepalive is restored is a correct description of how the Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) fabric reacts to various component failure scenarios. VSX is a feature that provides active-active forwarding and redundancy for ArubaOS-CX switches. The ISL is the inter- switch link that connects two VSX nodes and carries data traffic. The keepalive link is a separate link that carries control traffic between two VSX nodes. The split-recovery mode is a feature that prevents split-brain scenarios when both VSX nodes lose connectivity with each other but remain up. When the ISL and keepalive goes down, both VSX nodes continue to forward traffic independently. When the keepalive link restores, the secondary switch detects that it has lost synchronization with the primary switch and shuts down its SVIs to prevent traffic loops.

It enables the switch REST API interface, if disabled is not something that NetEdit 2.0 does after it discovers a switch. NetEdit 2.0 is a tool that provides configuration management and validation for ArubaOS-CX and ArubaOS-Switch devices. NetEdit 2.0 can discover switches using various methods such as IP range scan, LLDP scan, CSV import, etc. However, NetEdit 2.0 cannot discover or communicate with switches that have their REST API interface disabled because NetEdit 2.0 relies on REST API calls to interact with switches1.
