Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The RSPAN source session sends mirrored traffic to Gi0/14 with a Dot1q tag.
This is an RSPAN source session. It monitors source port Gi0/13 and source VLAN 200 (TX only), and sends the mirrored traffic to destination port Gi0/14 with Dot1q encapsulation. The Dot1q encapsulation indicates that the destination port is a trunk port carrying the RSPAN VLAN. The session is correctly configured.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The RSPAN source session sends mirrored traffic to Gi0/14 with a Dot1q tag.
Why this is correct
The encapsulation type 'Dot1q' means the traffic is tagged with the RSPAN VLAN.
- ✗
The RSPAN source session sends mirrored traffic to Gi0/14 without any VLAN tag.
Why it's wrong here
Dot1q encapsulation adds a VLAN tag.
- ✗
The session is an ERSPAN source session because it uses Dot1q encapsulation.
Why it's wrong here
ERSPAN uses IP encapsulation, not Dot1q.
- ✗
The session is misconfigured because source VLANs cannot be TX only.
Why it's wrong here
TX only is a valid filter for source VLANs in RSPAN.
