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 SPAN session is correctly forwarding packets from Gi0/0 to Gi0/1.
The debug output shows that packets captured on source port Gi0/0 are being forwarded to destination port Gi0/1 for session 1. This indicates that the SPAN session is operational.
