Question 1mediummultiple choice

A network engineer is troubleshooting a performance issue between two hosts connected to a Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch. The engineer wants to capture all traffic sent and received by Host A (Gi1/0/1) and send it to a monitoring station connected to Gi1/0/24. The engineer configures 'monitor session 1 source interface Gi1/0/1 both' and 'monitor session 1 destination interface Gi1/0/24'. However, the monitoring station receives only traffic sent by Host A, not traffic received. What is the most likely cause?

A network engineer needs to monitor traffic between two VLANs on a Cisco Catalyst 9300 switch. The engineer wants to capture all packets that traverse the switch between VLAN 10 and VLAN 20. The monitoring station is connected to port Gi1/0/24. Which configuration should the engineer use to capture this inter-VLAN traffic?

Question 3hardmultiple choice

An engineer is configuring RSPAN to monitor traffic from multiple switches in a data center. The monitoring station is connected to a central switch. The engineer has configured an RSPAN VLAN (VLAN 999) on all switches and set up the source sessions on the remote switches. However, the monitoring station receives no traffic. On the central switch, the engineer verifies that the RSPAN VLAN is active and that the destination session is configured. What is a likely missing configuration?

Question 4mediummultiple choice

A network engineer is using a Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch to monitor traffic from a server connected to port Gi1/0/1. The monitoring station is on port Gi1/0/24. The engineer configures 'monitor session 1 source interface Gi1/0/1 both' and 'monitor session 1 destination interface Gi1/0/24'. The monitoring station receives traffic, but the engineer notices that the switch CPU utilization is high. What is the most likely cause of the high CPU?

Question 5hardmultiple choice

A network engineer needs to monitor traffic from a specific VLAN (VLAN 100) on a Cisco Catalyst 9300 switch and send the mirrored traffic to a monitoring station on a different switch across a routed network. The engineer decides to use ERSPAN. Which configuration is required on the source switch?

Question 6mediummultiple choice
Open the full VLAN trunking answer →

An engineer is configuring SPAN on a Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch to monitor traffic from a trunk port (Gi1/0/1) that carries VLANs 10, 20, and 30. The monitoring station is on port Gi1/0/24. The engineer wants to capture only VLAN 20 traffic from the trunk. Which configuration should the engineer use?

Question 7mediummultiple choice
Open the full VLAN trunking answer →

A network engineer is troubleshooting a security issue and needs to capture all traffic between two servers connected to different switches. The switches are connected via a trunk link. The monitoring station is connected to a third switch. The engineer decides to use RSPAN. Which of the following is a mandatory requirement for RSPAN to function correctly?

Question 8easymultiple choice
Read the full EtherChannel explanation →

An engineer is configuring SPAN on a Cisco Catalyst 9300 switch to monitor traffic from a port that is part of an EtherChannel (Port-channel 1). The monitoring station is on port Gi1/0/24. Which configuration should the engineer use to capture traffic from the EtherChannel?

Question 9easymultiple choice
Read the full NAT/PAT explanation →

A network engineer is monitoring traffic from a server connected to a Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch. The engineer configures a SPAN session with source interface Gi1/0/1 and destination interface Gi1/0/24. The monitoring station receives traffic, but the engineer notices that the destination port is not forwarding any normal traffic. What is the most likely reason?
