   An IT team uses Cisco Intersight to monitor a fleet of UCS servers. They need to receive immediate notifications when a server's hardware component, such as a fan or power supply, fails. What should the team configure in Intersight to meet this requirement?

   • AEnable Intersight's 'Maintenance Mode' for the affected servers.
   • BConfigure a syslog server to receive logs from the UCS servers.
   • CCreate a new Intersight user with read-only privileges.
   • DSet up an Intersight alert policy with email or webhook notifications.

   A network administrator is troubleshooting a performance issue between two servers. The administrator wants to capture packets on the Nexus switch to analyze the traffic. The administrator is concerned about the impact on the switch's performance. What is a key limitation of using SPAN for this purpose?

   • ASPAN can drop packets if the destination port's bandwidth is exceeded.
   • BSPAN requires a dedicated hardware module to function.
   • CSPAN can only monitor traffic on a single VLAN at a time.
   • DSPAN can only monitor traffic in one direction.

   A data center administrator is planning to use SPAN to monitor traffic on a high-throughput Nexus switch. The monitoring appliance is connected to a 10 Gbps port, but the traffic on the source port averages 8 Gbps with bursts reaching 12 Gbps. The administrator is concerned about packet loss. What should the administrator do to address this concern?

   • AConfigure the SPAN destination port with the 'drop-on-overflow' feature to discard excess traffic.
   • BConfigure the SPAN source as a VLAN instead of a single port to distribute the load.
   • CUse a SPAN destination port with a higher bandwidth than the source port, such as 40 Gbps.
   • DEnable 'spanning-tree portfast' on the SPAN destination port to reduce forwarding delays.
