   An organization wants a single pane of glass to monitor network health, analyze NetFlow data, and receive AI-driven insights across multiple Nexus data centers. Which approach best achieves this?

   • AEnable NetFlow on all switches and view data on each switch's CLI.
   • BUse ERSPAN to send all mirrored traffic to a single switch for analysis.
   • CDeploy Cisco Nexus Dashboard and integrate it with NetFlow collectors and Nexus Dashboard Insights.
   • DConfigure SPAN sessions to send all traffic to a central packet analyzer.

   A data center team is troubleshooting a latency issue between two application tiers. They suspect that a specific application is generating excessive traffic. They have NetFlow enabled but need to identify the application protocol and the top endpoints. Which NetFlow feature provides this information?

   • AFlow records with application identification (NBAR) and IP/port information
   • BSPAN session to capture all traffic
   • CNexus Dashboard Insights
   • DERSPAN to send traffic to a packet analyzer

   What is a benefit of combining SPAN and NetFlow in a monitoring strategy?

   • ASPAN reduces the need for NetFlow by providing the same data
   • BSPAN provides full packet capture for deep analysis, while NetFlow provides summarized traffic statistics
   • CNetFlow can be used to configure SPAN sessions automatically
   • DSPAN eliminates the need for a separate monitoring tool

   A network administrator is comparing NetFlow and sFlow for a data center monitoring solution. They need to support high-speed interfaces (40G/100G) and want to minimize the impact on the switch CPU. Which technology is better suited for this requirement?

   • ANeither is suitable for high-speed interfaces.
   • BsFlow, because it uses packet sampling and is more scalable on high-speed interfaces.
   • CNetFlow, because it provides more detailed flow records.
   • DBoth are equally efficient.

   A network team is using Nexus Dashboard Insights and wants to use its AI capabilities to predict future capacity needs. They have been collecting telemetry for three months. What should they do to get the most accurate predictions?

   • AUse SPAN to capture all traffic for a month.
   • BEnsure that Nexus Dashboard Insights has enough historical data and configure capacity planning reports.
   • CManually analyze flow records to predict capacity.
   • DUse NetFlow to collect traffic data for a week and then make predictions.
