ICND2: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (legacy) — Question 104

Which feature can you use to monitor traffic on a switch by replicating it to another port or ports on the same switch?

Answer options

• A. copy run start
• B. traceroute
• C. the ICMP Echo IP SLA
• D. SPAN

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, SPAN, which stands for Switched Port Analyzer. This feature enables traffic monitoring by copying packets from one or more ports to a designated monitoring port. The other options, such as copy run start, traceroute, and ICMP Echo IP SLA, do not provide the capability to replicate traffic for monitoring purposes.
