Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 484

The engineer must configure SPAN on a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch to get a capture of the traffic from these applications for an in-depth packet analysis.
Which two SPAN characteristics must be considered? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. SPAN source ports can be monitored in multiple SPAN sessions.
• B. The Ethernet, FC, vFC, port channel, SAN port channel can be used as SPAN source ports.
• C. A SPAN source port cannot be a destination SPAN port.
• D. Only Ethernet, FC, vFC, port channel port types can be used as SPAN source ports.
• E. The rx/tx option is available for VLAN or VSAN SPAN sessions.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Option B is correct because it accurately lists the types of ports that can be used as SPAN source ports. Option C is also right since a source port cannot simultaneously act as a destination port. Options A and D are incorrect as they either misrepresent the SPAN capabilities or limit the types of source ports unnecessarily, while E is irrelevant to the question's focus on source port characteristics.
