Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 214

An engineer must configure a Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch for traffic analysis from the storage array. The storage array is connected to the interface fc2/1 in VSAN 10 and the traffic analyzer to fc4/2. The capture file must include ingress and egress traffic between the switch and the storage array. Also, only traffic in VSAN 10 must be captured. Which configuration set meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. interface fc4/2 switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allow vsan 10 no shutdown ! span session 1 source interface fc2/1 tx destination interface fc4/2 rx no suspend
• B. interface fc4/2 switchport mode SD no shutdown ! span session 1 source interface fc2/1 destination interface fc4/2 source filter vsan 10
• C. interface fc4/2 switchport mode auto no shutdown ! span session 1 source interface fc2/1 rx destination interface fc4/2 source filter vsan 10 no suspend
• D. interface fc4/2 switchport mode ST no shutdown ! span session 1 source interface fc2/1 destination interface fc4/2 source filter vsan 10

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct as it captures traffic from the storage array to the analyzer with the appropriate source filter for VSAN 10. Other options either do not allow for the correct VSAN filtering or incorrectly configure the switchport modes, making them unsuitable for the required traffic analysis.
