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 session is correctly configured as an RSPAN source session.
The output shows an RSPAN source session with source port Gi0/0 and destination RSPAN VLAN 100. This is the source side of an RSPAN configuration.
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 session is correctly configured as an RSPAN source session.
Why this is correct
The output confirms an RSPAN source session with a specified RSPAN VLAN.
- ✗
The session is misconfigured because the destination must be a port, not a VLAN.
Why it's wrong here
RSPAN uses a VLAN as the destination for remote monitoring.
- ✗
The session is misconfigured because the source port must be a VLAN.
Why it's wrong here
In RSPAN, source ports are physical or port-channel interfaces, not VLANs; the output correctly lists Gi0/0 as a source port, so the configuration is valid. The temptation arises because SPAN can also source from a VLAN using the `source vlan` command, which would be correct for VSPAN, but the question’s output explicitly shows a port-based source, making the VLAN claim incorrect.
- ✗
The session is misconfigured because the RSPAN VLAN must be configured as a remote-span VLAN.
Why it's wrong here
The RSPAN VLAN must be configured as remote-span, but this output does not indicate a misconfiguration.
