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 an RSPAN destination session, and traffic from the RSPAN VLAN is received on Gi0/6 and sent to Gi0/7.
This is an RSPAN destination session. It receives mirrored traffic from the RSPAN VLAN via source port Gi0/6 (RX only) and sends it to destination port Gi0/7 for analysis. The source port is typically a trunk port carrying the RSPAN VLAN.
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 an RSPAN destination session, and traffic from the RSPAN VLAN is received on Gi0/6 and sent to Gi0/7.
Why this is correct
The type 'Remote Destination Session' confirms RSPAN destination, with Gi0/6 as source and Gi0/7 as destination.
- ✗
The session is an ERSPAN destination session because it uses RX only.
Why it's wrong here
ERSPAN uses IP encapsulation, not VLAN-based. This is RSPAN.
- ✗
The session is a local SPAN session with source port Gi0/6.
Why it's wrong here
The type is 'Remote Destination Session', not local.
- ✗
The session is misconfigured because the destination port has ingress disabled.
Why it's wrong here
Ingress disabled is normal for SPAN destination ports to prevent forwarding.
