Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 522

An engineer is implementing traffic monitoring for a server vNIC that is configured with fabric failover enabled. The requirement is for the traffic to be sent to an analyzer, even during a failure of one of the fabric interconnects. The analyzer is connected to unconfigured Ethernet ports on both fabric interconnects. Which configuration accomplishes this task?

Answer options

• A. Create two traffic monitoring sessions with different names, one per fabric. Connect an analyzer on each FI as the destination for the monitoring session local to the FI.
• B. Create two traffic monitoring sessions with the same name, one per fabric. Connect the analyzer connected to FI-A as the destination for both monitoring sessions.
• C. Create two traffic monitoring sessions with different names, one per fabric. Connect the analyzer connected to FI-B as the destination for both monitoring sessions.
• D. Create two traffic monitoring sessions with the same name, one per fabric. Connect an analyzer on each FI as the destination for the monitoring session local to that FI.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it allows for traffic monitoring on both fabric interconnects, ensuring that the analyzer receives traffic even if one fabric fails. Options A, B, and C do not provide redundancy for the analyzer during a fabric interconnect failure, which is essential for continuous monitoring.
