Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (CCNP SWITCH, legacy) — Question 33

A physical switch port is part of an EtherChannel group. What happens while the same port is configured as a SPAN destination?

Answer options

• A. The port forwards traffic in the EtherChannel group and acts as a SPAN source simultaneously
• B. The port is removed from the EtherChannel group
• C. The port is put in the errdisabled state and can only be reenabled manually
• D. The operation is not allowed as an EtherChannel member cannot be a SPAN source port

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a port that is part of an EtherChannel cannot function as a SPAN source, which is a restriction in network configurations. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they suggest scenarios that violate the operational constraints of EtherChannel and SPAN configurations.
