A network engineer runs the following command on switch SW1:

Session 1 --------- Type : Local Session Source Ports : Both : Gi0/1, Gi0/2 Destination Ports : Gi0/3
Encapsulation : Native
Ingress : Disabled
Based on this output, which statement is correct?
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 monitoring traffic on Gi0/1 and Gi0/2 and sending it to Gi0/3.
The output shows a local SPAN session with source ports Gi0/1 and Gi0/2, and destination port Gi0/3. The destination port is configured with native encapsulation and ingress is disabled, meaning traffic received on the destination port is not forwarded. The session is active and 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 SPAN session is monitoring traffic on Gi0/1 and Gi0/2 and sending it to Gi0/3.
Why this is correct
The output clearly shows source ports Gi0/1 and Gi0/2, destination port Gi0/3, and type Local Session, confirming this.
- ✗
The SPAN session is monitoring traffic on Gi0/3 and sending it to Gi0/1 and Gi0/2.
Why it's wrong here
Source and destination are reversed; Gi0/1 and Gi0/2 are sources, Gi0/3 is destination.
- ✗
The SPAN session is using RSPAN because the destination port has ingress disabled.
Why it's wrong here
RSPAN uses a VLAN as the destination, not a port. Ingress disabled is typical for local SPAN destination ports.
- ✗
The SPAN session is not active because the destination port is not in forwarding state.
Why it's wrong here
The output does not indicate any error; the session is active and configured.
