What is the primary difference between SPAN and RSPAN?

RSPAN requires a dedicated hardware module, while SPAN does not

RSPAN can send mirrored traffic across multiple switches using a VLAN, while SPAN is local to one switch

SPAN supports only ingress traffic, while RSPAN supports only egress traffic

SPAN is used for IPv4 traffic, while RSPAN is used for IPv6 traffic

A network engineer needs to capture traffic from a server connected to a Nexus switch and send it to a remote packet analyzer located in a different building across a routed network. The engineer wants to use ERSPAN. What is the primary requirement for this to work?

The source and destination must be reachable via IP, and the ERSPAN session must specify the destination IP address.

NetFlow must be enabled on the source switch to export the traffic.

The capture device must be connected to the same switch as the source.

A dedicated RSPAN VLAN must be configured across the routed network.

A large enterprise is deploying multiple Nexus Dashboard clusters to manage different data center sites. They want to ensure that all clusters are managed consistently and that configurations are synchronized. Which feature of Cisco Nexus Dashboard should they use?

Multi-cluster management and federation

What is the purpose of a SPAN session on a Cisco switch?

To copy traffic from one or more source ports to a destination port for monitoring

To block unauthorized traffic on a specific port

To prioritize traffic based on QoS policies

To provide redundant paths between switches

A large enterprise is deploying Nexus Dashboard to monitor multiple data centers. They want to ensure high availability of the monitoring platform itself. Which deployment model should they choose?

Deploy a single Nexus Dashboard instance and rely on backups.

Deploy Nexus Dashboard in a clustered configuration with multiple nodes.

Use SPAN to mirror all traffic to a backup analyzer.

Use NetFlow to provide redundancy.
