Given the configuration:

monitor session 2 source vlan 10-12 both monitor session 2 destination interface GigabitEthernet1/0/3

Which statement is true?

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

Traffic from all ports in VLANs 10, 11, and 12 is copied to GigabitEthernet1/0/3.

This configures a VLAN-based SPAN session that monitors all traffic on VLANs 10, 11, and 12 and sends a copy to GigabitEthernet1/0/3.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Traffic from all ports in VLANs 10, 11, and 12 is copied to GigabitEthernet1/0/3.

    Why this is correct

    VLAN SPAN monitors all ports in the specified VLANs.

  • Only traffic from the access ports in VLAN 10 is copied.

    Why it's wrong here

    The range includes VLANs 10, 11, and 12.

  • The destination port must be in VLAN 10.

    Why it's wrong here

    The destination port is not required to be in the source VLAN.

  • The destination port will become a SPAN destination and cannot be used for normal traffic.

    Why it's wrong here

    While true, this is not the primary effect; the statement is correct but not the best answer.

Visual reference

Switch VLAN 10 Sales (192.168.10.0/24) PC-A PC-B VLAN 20 HR (192.168.20.0/24) PC-C PC-D Router VLANs isolate traffic — inter-VLAN routing requires a Layer 3 device
